Global Hydraulic fracturing fluids Market

The global hydraulic fracturing fluids market size, in terms of value, was USD XXbillion in 2017 and is projected to grow up to USD XX billion by the year 2021, at a healthy CAGR of 6%. Hydraulic fracturing fluids are used to initiate and expand fractures, but also to transport proppants into fractures in coalbed formations. Proppants are granular substances like sand which are injected into the formation to prop open or hold coal formation fractures created by hydraulic fracturing.

The fracturing technique is commonly applied to wells for oil and shale gas recovery. Such stimulation is carried out once during the productive life of the well and aids in the extraction of fluids, thereby increasing the well productivity. The hydraulic fracturing technique used as field production diminishes with time.

Market Dynamics

The market is witnessing enormous demand due to factors such as increased number of wells and increased shale activity in the world. The recent innovations in fracking market are fueling the hydraulic fracturing fluids market up. The initiatives by the U.S. and Chinese government in the form of tax incentives, financial aids, and easy provision of FDI in the hydrocarbon sector are expected to steer the industry expansion over the next few years.

Proper Discharging of Fracking Fluids and Chemicals is a major challenge which hinders the growth of the market. Several bans, pubic concerns and moratoriums regarding environmental impacts of the technology particularly in countries hinder the progress of the market.

Market Segmentation

The global hydraulic fracturing fluids market is segmented on the basis of application, material and technology. On the basis of application, market can be segmented into Shale Gas, Tight Gas, Tight Oil, CBM and others. The market is split into proppant (sand, ceramic and resin coated sand) and others on the basis of material. On the basis of technology, market is segmented into plug and perf and sliding sleeve.

Geographical Analysis

The market is segmented into North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and MEA. North America dominates the fracturing fluids market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. The reason behind is increasing shale and exploration activity in the U.S.
