Market Highlights

The Oilfield Biocides Market is accounted to register a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 5,15,239.05 Thousand thousand by 2022.

The growth of the global oilfield biocides market is mainly driven by the growth of the oil and gas industry due to increasing energy demand mainly in India and China on account of rapid industrialization. The increasing investment in the exploration and production of unconventional resources due to rising concern regarding depleting conventional resources is likely to increase the adoption of hydraulic fracturing technology in the oil and gas industry. The surge in the use of hydraulic fracturing has resulted in increased demand for water, which is derived from rivers, lakes, and ponds, and recovered from previous fracturing treatments, which is expected to fuel the demand for oilfield biocides.

The increasing oil & gas production and extraction activities in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa are likely to create lucrative opportunities for the players operating in the global oilfield biocides market.

However, increasing preference for renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is expected to hamper the global market growth in the coming years.
