Global Oil and Gas Industry Outlook and Growth Opportunities, 2025
Transformative Megatrends Drive Oil and Gas Companies to Digitize and Implement Decarbonization Initiatives
The global energy industry is undergoing an unprecedented transition, bringing exciting new growth opportunities to the oil and gas (O&G) industry. However, shifting to a net-zero future for carbon emissions means many companies struggle with pricing, energy security, pace of change, conflicting priorities, and industry disruption.
As the industry moves to meet decarbonization and sustainability goals, Frost & Sullivan has identified five key pillars of opportunity for the energy transition: carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); emissions management; automation, autonomy, and augmentation; upstream electrification; and future fuels. Meanwhile, the main challenge of today's O&G industry is balancing the transition to net zero while meeting the current demand for fossil fuels as efficiently and sustainably as possible.
The competitive landscape for the future O&G industry is also changing, driven by innovation, market transformation, ambitious sustainability goals, and disruptive business models.
Notably, the study offers stakeholders insights and opportunities they can leverage in the dynamic O&G space over the next decade.
