Dublin, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Fracking Fluid and Chemicals - Global Strategic Business Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global market for Fracking Fluid and Chemicals was valued at US$55.0 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$90.4 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2024 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions. The report includes the most recent global tariff developments and how they impact the Fracking Fluid and Chemicals market.

The growth in the fracking fluid and chemicals market is driven by several factors, including the rising demand for energy, advancements in drilling technology, and the expanding use of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reserves. The shale boom in North America, particularly in the United States, has been a significant driver of this market. With vast reserves of shale oil and gas becoming accessible through hydraulic fracturing, energy companies have increased their use of fracking fluids and chemicals to optimize production from these challenging formations.

The trend toward drilling longer lateral wells, which require more fracking stages and higher volumes of fluid, has also contributed to the growing demand for fracking chemicals. As operators strive to maximize well productivity, the need for advanced chemical formulations that can enhance efficiency and reduce costs is expected to rise further.

Another key driver is the push for more environmentally friendly fracking fluids, spurred by regulatory pressure and public concern over the environmental impact of fracking. This has led to increased research and development in 'green' fracking chemicals, which are designed to minimize ecological damage while maintaining high performance. The growing emphasis on water recycling and the development of alternative fluids have also opened new avenues for innovation in the fracking chemicals market.

Additionally, the global shift toward natural gas as a cleaner energy source compared to coal and oil has bolstered demand for fracking technologies, particularly in regions where natural gas is seen as a transition fuel in the move toward renewable energy. These factors, coupled with advancements in chemical engineering, are driving the fracking fluid and chemicals market forward, as companies continue to seek ways to improve extraction efficiency and reduce environmental risks.
