DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oilfield Surfactants Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global market for Oilfield Surfactants was estimated at $798.37 million in 2025 and is predicted to witness robust and accelerated growth in the coming years, especially in the oil producing countries such the US, China and members of the OPEC.
Demand for oilfield surfactants has grown since the need for chemicals in sustainable oil exploration, extraction and production has skyrocketed as witnessed in the rigorous EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) activities. Furthermore, there has been a growing interest in the bio-based oil surfactants, although being a niche market, for its environment friendly effects that can counter-act the wide environmental concerns about the oil and gas industries.
Oilfield Surfactants Market Outlook:
Oilfield surfactants are chemicals that effectively lower the surface tension between a fluid and a solid or between various fluids. Oilfield surfactants have various physical and chemical properties that can be exploited in the stages of drilling, production, refining, enhanced oil recovery and stimulation. Its applications vary from asphaltene dispersants, corrosion inhibition, emulsifiers, demulsifier intermediates, oil-wetters, paraffin inhibitors, water-wetters, foamers and defoamers. The type of surfactant behavior is dictated by the chemical structure, specifically the structural groups on the molecule). The oilfield surfactant market is segmented based on the stage of application such as drilling, production and stimulation as well as its applications as mentioned above.
Oilfield Surfactants Market Growth drivers:
Global oil and natural gas production has been increasing steadily since the last decade with oil production recording 92.6 million barrels per day (BPD) with US being the largest oil producing country in the world. These statistics imply that as oil production, extraction and exploration activities increase, there is clearly a huge growth potential for oilfield surfactants to meet this large demand capacity. Surfactants such as emulsifiers, demulsifiers, biocides etc. would highly in demand at various stages of drilling, production and stimulation in oilfields. In addition, as the world plans to move towards a more sustainable and environment friendly future, bio-based oilfield surfactants would be in high demand. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is gaining increasing popularity in the oil industry as it cuts costs and maximizes yield, and thus this could clearly boost the Oil Surfactants market as EOR is only possible due to the usage of such surfactants.
Oilfield Surfactants Market Challenges:
The prime challenge faced by the Oilfield Surfactants market is the dangerous carbon footprint that the oil and gas industries leave behind in the world's atmosphere. The use of fossil fuels has always been criticized and many developed countries in the EU planning to phase out their energy dependence on oil and natural gas. Growing environmental concerns about oilfield production levels coupled with massive oil spills are the major challenges to the Oilfield Surfactant market.
