Global Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market to Reach USD 95.5 Billion by 2033, Stimulated by Rising Oil and Gas Exploration Activities

December 10, 2024 | Chemical & Materials

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “​Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market Report by Type (Water-Based, Foam-Based, Gelled Oil-Based, and Others), Well Type (Horizontal Wells, Vertical Wells), Function Type (Gelling Agent, Friction Reducer, Surfactant, Scale Inhibitor, Clay Stabilizer, Acid, Cross-Linkers, Breaker, Ph Adjusting Agent, Iron Control Agent, Corrosion Inhibitor, Biocide, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global fracking chemicals and fluids market size reached USD 49.3 Billion in 2024. Fracking chemicals and fluids are specially engineered compounds used in hydraulic fracturing, a technique implemented to extract natural gas, petroleum, and brine from deep rock formations. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves injecting high-pressure fluids into a wellbore to create cracks in deep-rock formations, enabling the migration of natural gas or oil toward the well. It is a mix of water, proppants and various chemicals that serve to reduce friction, prevent corrosion of equipment, stabilize the product, and control pH levels. As a result, these fracking chemicals and fluids are an integral part of the global oil and gas industry, assisting in the extraction of hydrocarbons from reservoirs where traditional methods are ineffective, thereby contributing to global energy supplies.

Global Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market Trends:

The global fracking chemicals and fluids market is currently witnessing significant growth, propelled by the escalating demand for energy, which necessitates an increase in oil and gas exploration activities. Along with this, continual advancements in fracking technology and the discovery of new reserves in unconventional terrains are significantly contributing to market expansion. Moreover, the development and adoption of innovative, high-performance fracking fluids, designed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact, are stimulating market growth. In addition, an emergent trend in the market is the rising utilization of green chemicals, offering a reduced ecological footprint, in line with global sustainability trends. Apart from this, strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions among key players are leading to the consolidation of the market, while increased research and development (R&D) activities aim at reducing costs and improving the effectiveness of fracking fluids. Furthermore, regulatory policies concerning environmental and health hazards associated with fracking operations are creating a positive market outlook. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 95.5 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2025-2033.
