The global hydraulic fracturing market is estimated to grow from USD 52.1 Billion in 2023 to USD 74.4 Billion by 2028; it is expected to record a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. The presence of large shale-proved reserves and increasing shale exploration and production activities globally will drive the hydraulic fracturing market in the forecasted period.
"Shale Gas: The largest segment of the hydraulic fracturing market, by application "
Based on application, the hydraulic fracturing market has been split into three types: shale gas, tight oil, and tight gas. Shale Gas holds the largest share of the hydraulic fracturing market. Natural gas that has been trapped inside shale formations is referred to as shale gas. Fine-grained sedimentary rocks called shale are potentially abundant sources of gas and oil. Shale gas is extracted via a procedure called hydraulic fracturing. There are a large number of shale reserves across the globeThe increasing demand for natural gas is attributed to driving the market of hydraulic fracturing for shale gas applications in the forecasted period.
"Horizontal segment is expected to emerge as the largest segment based on well type."
By well type, the hydraulic fracturing market has been segmented into vertical and horizontal. For maximizing reservoir performance, horizontal wells employ a multi-directional drilling technique with inclinations exceeding 80°. The powerful alliance of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has resulted in a remarkable surge in the rates of US crude oil, lease condensate, and natural gas production. This dynamic combination has revolutionized the energy industry by efficiently accessing hydrocarbon reserves and unlocking their potential, contributing significantly to the nation's energy output and enhancing energy security.
"By technology, the plug & perf segment is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period."
Based on technology, the hydraulic fracturing market is segmented into plug & perf and sliding sleeves. Plug & purf technology is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period. Plug & Perf technology is a widely used method in hydraulic fracturing. It involves placing plugs in the wellbore at specific intervals and isolating sections for fracturing. High-pressure fluid is then pumped to fracture the rock, and once completed, the plugs are removed, allowing for the flow of oil or gas.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the second-largest region in the hydraulic fracturing market.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the second-largest hydraulic fracturing market during the forecast period. The region has been segmented, by country, into China, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. The Rest of Asia Pacific includes India and Turkey. Asia Pacific is a significant contributor to the hydraulic fracturing market in the current scenario owing to a large presence of unconventional resources. The Asia Pacific region has seen rapid expansion in demand for oil and gas in recent years attributed to a growing population, increased per capita income, urbanization, and growth in the number of petrochemical refineries. According to the IEA, the region is expected to account for about 37.8% of global crude oil consumption by 2026. China is one of the major contributors to the hydraulic fracturing market, owing to a large presence of mature oilfields in the South China Sea and increasing shale production.
