Based on product terrain, oilfield surfactants market is bifurcated into non-ionic, amphoteric, cationic, anionic, and silicone. Among these, the cationic segment is expected to grow with a CAGR of 3% through 2026, mainly due to growing demand from oilfield drilling applications.
Meanwhile, silicone segment is poised to expand at 2% CAGR over the forecast period, on account of its usage in herbicides, PGRs, insecticides, and fungicides where properties like super-spreading and extra-wetting are desirable.
With regards to the application spectrum, global oilfield surfactants industry is bifurcated into EOR, drilling surfactants, spacers, surface active agents, foamers, stimulation flowback/ fluid recovery, cleaners, non-emulsifiers, wetting agents, and emulsion breakers. As per the report, the foamers segment is expected to exhibit 6% CAGR during 2020-2026. These agents are used to clean oil spills and are effective on fresh or brackish water.
Elaborating further, emulsion breakers segment is reckoned to grow with a CAGR of 2.5% through 2026, as the product is used in prevention of fouling and corrosion of equipment by breaking the oil emulsions. Whereas, non-emulsifiers segment grew by 3% in the recent past, owing to its oilfield applications to reduce the emulsion tendency of residual oil with fluids.
From a regional perspective, Europe contributed 24% share in the overall market in past year. While Latin America market is expected to witness tremendous growth in the ensuing years, owing to equitable tax and fiscal regimes in various countries like Brazil and Venezuela.
