North America is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. In 2023, the US was the key contributor to the market in North America. Recovery in crude oil prices and the significant growth in shale oil production in the US were the key drivers for the market growth in North America in 2023. Advancements in automation and Internet of Things (IoT) technology are encouraging oil rig operators in the region to adopt automated drilling solutions in onshore and offshore oil and gas projects.
Companies operating in such industry are increasingly adopting semi-automated technologies to gain access to remote offshore oil wells that pose several logistical hurdles, such as harsh weather conditions. Through automation, offshore oil rigs can operate efficiently in harsh mid-water and deep-water oil and gas drilling environments and reduce human errors and the risk of accidents. Growing awareness about the long-term cost benefits of drilling automation is expected to drive the adoption of wireline services solutions in North America during the forecast period.
The market is driven by the surge in global upstream oil and gas investments, influenced by factors such as prices and offshore activities in regions like the Mediterranean Sea and Western Sahara. As petroleum production continues in maturing fields, the demand for wireline services, including cased-hole and open-hole services, electric lines, slacklines, and slick line services, rises. Key market players play a crucial role in reservoir understanding, field development activities, and supporting production and manufacturing departments. Challenges include addressing supply chain functions and optimizing market operations for global development across diverse applications and regions such as the Gulf of Thailand, Great Australian Bight, Turkmenistan, and the South China Sea. Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key market growth analysis, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Growing demand for global upstream oil and gas investments, oil Prices, and hydrocarbon reservoirs is notably driving market growth. The market is poised for substantial growth driven by the surge in oil production and field development activity, projected to grow at a high rate due to increasing demand for market operations. As over 70% of the growing energy demand is expected to be met by hydrocarbon reservoirs, the need to explore and produce new oil and gas reservoirs intensifies. Urbanization in developing countries like China contributes to rising energy demand, with an increase in the Mediterranean Sea observed.
Moreover, major oil and gas companies are expanding exploration and production (E&P) activities to meet the escalating energy demand, both onshore and offshore. With the global energy demand anticipated to rise significantly, the market is well-positioned for growth during the forecast period.
Fluctuating prices of crude oil is a significant challenge hindering market growth. Fluctuations in crude oil prices significantly impact the upstream oil and gas sector, exerting pressure on profitability and performance. The unpredictable nature of crude oil prices, exemplified by the decline from USD 97.05 per barrel in 2022 to USD 82.41 per barrel in 2023, poses challenges to the market. Geopolitical conflicts, like the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Palestine conflict, coupled with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, led to project cancellations and postponements.
However, upstream companies face adversity as fluctuating crude petroleum prices affect revenues, making it challenging to sustain competitiveness. The volatility in prices influences investment decisions, leading to project delays and abandonment, impacting wireline services' demand and profitability. Consequently, these factors present challenges and constraints for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
