In addition, the market in North America is witnessing an increasing rate of adoption of oilfield bio-solvent products that are environment-friendly.
Moreover, regions, including North America, have witnessed rapid activities in the expansion of oilfield drilling and production. Furthermore, the increasing development of shale oil has led to increased demand for oilfield bio-solvents in North America. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth in North America during the forecast period.
The market is undergoing rapid evolution with a focus on enhanced oil recovery processes and environmental sustainability. Bio-based solvents, derived from renewable sources like bio based terpenes, are gaining traction for their effectiveness in oil recovery and their ability to mitigate the environmental impact of traditional oilfield operations. These solvents play a critical role in cleaning oilfield equipment, controlling microbial corrosion, and treating pits, ensuring the integrity of piping systems, storage tanks, and valves. Moreover, the commercialization of bio solvents, coupled with advancements in IoT technology, is driving innovation in oilfield chemicals. With their reduced VOC emissions and compatibility with green solvents, bio-based alternatives are becoming increasingly favored in various applications, including printing inks, paints, coatings, and consumer goods. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the Increased oil and gas production and exploration activities. Several innovations, including horizontal drilling in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing operations, have been able to unlock unconventional potential in regions including Saudi Arabia, the US, Canada, Mexico, and Russia. For instance, in 2015, there were approximately 300,000 wells (hydraulically fractured) in the US, contributing to more than 50% of the global oil and gas production.
Moreover, the higher the number of oil and gas production and exploration, the higher the extent of oilfield bio solvents use. In addition, to meet global demands, the oil and gas industry has continued its development of oil and gas production and exploration activities, including the development of new and established hydrocarbon reserves. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the bio-based terpenes as a novel replacement for toluene and xylene. There has been a significant replacement for xylene and toluene in dissolving paraffin, bitumen, and asphaltenes. In addition, these are natural/bio solvents that demonstrate excellent solvency properties and can even be used in remediating wells.
Moreover, bio-based terpenes act as an effective replacement for toluene and xylene in cleaning up the drilling mud in wells before cementing operations. In addition, terpene solvent mixtures are employed in a wide range of applications in oilfields, including hydraulic fracturing stimulation, matrix stimulation, and wellbore clean-outs. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Variations pertaining to the availability of raw materials for bio based solvents are one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. Bio solvents rely primarily on the availability of feedstock, including sugar cane, corn, oranges, tapioca, and wheat, among others. In addition, the manufacturing of such crops depends upon climatic conditions.
Moreover, the production varies considerably every year and is subject to external factors including excess rainfall, plagues of locusts, frost, and hurricanes. In addition, the non-availability of raw materials or fluctuations in the availability has a negative impact on the global market and could lead to high production costs. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
