Rotary Steerable Systems Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increase in investments toward directional drilling is notably driving the rotary steerable systems market growth, although factors such as volatility of global crude oil prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the rotary steerable systems industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rotary Steerable Systems Market Driver
- The increase in investments toward directional drilling is one of the key drivers supporting the rotary steerable systems market growth.
- Directional drilling helps control the direction of the wellbore being drilled as the drill bit moves through a predetermined path underground.
- Directional drilling is mainly adopted for offshore and unconventional oil and gas production as they support oil and gas production from multiple underlying wells from a single vertical well and reduce the need for drilling multiple wells.
- Directional drilling is an unconventional drilling technique widely used for the production of oil and gas from unconventional reserves. Moreover, it helps reach the shale reservoir with a horizontal path to cover maximum contact with the reservoir.
- According to the IEA, the global investment in upstream oil and gas is expected to increase by around 5% in 2018 compared to 2017. However, the increase in upstream investments varies based on the upstream oil and gas companies. This, in turn, will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Rotary Steerable Systems Market Trend
- An increase in the adoption of integrated rotary steerable systems is one of the key rotary steerable systems market trends contributing to the market growth.
- The use of an integrated rotary steerable system is essential to increase the stability of wells drilled in multistage hydraulic fracturing.
- An integrated drilling system provides a customized, high-performance, and high-velocity drilling motor that can be remotely navigated through the reservoir by integrating the rotary steerable system with measurement-while-drilling equipment, which provides various types of data required for effective steering through the underground reservoir.
- There is an increase in the adoption of integrated directional drilling equipment for unconventional oil and gas drilling activities, which will provide more efficient and reliable equipment for oil and gas production. Thus, this factor is expected to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Rotary Steerable Systems Market Challenge
- The volatility of global crude oil prices is one of the factors hampering the rotary steerable systems market growth.
- The rapid decline in crude oil prices has affected the profitability of many upstream companies and impacted the revenue generated by them.
- Several oil and gas companies stopped or postponed their exploration and production projects as the low revenue made it difficult for companies to sustain themselves in the market.
- The fluctuations in the prices can be seen on a monthly basis as well. For instance, the monthly average crude oil price was recorded at $57 per barrel in October 2019. In September and August 2019, the average crude oil prices were recorded at $60.0 and $57.7 per barrel, respectively.
- The uncertainty of crude oil prices may affect the investments in exploration and production projects, which would affect the growth of the global rotary steerable systems market during the forecast period.

The rotary steerable systems market share growth by the onshore segment will be significant during the forecast period. Drilling automation is rapidly finding applications in onshore oil and gas projects. Onshore and offshore drilling machines are similar in function and require the installation of additional equipment, such as exploratory equipment and separators, to segregate wastewater from oil pumps, storage tanks, and pipelines. However, onshore drilling involves the setting up of oil rigs and the drilling of oil wells on land surfaces. These projects require a lower initial cost and lesser time compared with offshore drilling. Such factors will boost the market growth during the forecast period.
