Global Demulsifier Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2023 - 2035

The global demulsifier market is estimated to garner a revenue of ~USD 36 Million by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of ~4% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. Further, the market generated a revenue of ~USD 23 Million in the year 2023. The growth of the market can be primarily attributed to the rising crude oil production around the world. During crude oil processing, demulsifiers are highly utilized to create stable emulsions. Emulsion breakers are used to separate the crude oil from the saline water and significantly affect oil recovery operations and production facilities. Data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated the total world production of crude oil to be 95.62 million barrels per day in 2021 which is further estimated to reach 100.33 million barrels per day in 2022.

Global Demulsifier Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges


Growth Drivers
  • Increasing Global Exports of Lubricants to Boost the Market Growth- As reported by the International Trade Center (Trademap), the value of global exports of lubricants for the year 2021 amounted to USD 720,173,067, an increase from USD 479,998,020 the year before. Demulsifiers are widely used in the production of lubricants. Recently, the lubricants industry has experienced a significant increase in exports. Likewise, increasing automobile production and sales have resulted in higher consumption of lubricants which is expected to propel the demand for demulsifiers over the forecast period.

  • Rising Expenditures on Research & Development Worldwide- The World Bank reports that research and development expenditures have increased from 2.2% of GDP in 2018 to 2.63% in 2020.

  • Growing Consumption of Crude Oil across the WorldAccording to the S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the total world consumption of petroleum in 2019 was approximately 100.37 million barrels per day (b/d).  U.S. petroleum consumption in 2021 reached 19.78 million b/d, including about a million b/d of biofuels. 

  • Exploration and Discovery of New Oil and Gas FieldsThe Saudi Arabian government announced the discovery of 2 oil and gas fields in the northern border region in August 2020, further in December, Saudi Arabia announced the discovery of 4 additional oil and gas fields.  

  • Increasing Oil Production from Aging and Mature Oil FieldsIn a survey, it was observed that oil and gas production from mature fields accounted for approximately 75% of global production in 2018. 

Challenges

  • Disruption in Production Activities due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

  • Strict Environmental Restrictions on the Use of Chemical Demulsifiers

The use of traditional demulsifiers is water-based emulsions but the government restricted their use owing to their negative impact on the environment. The use of chemicals in the preparation will release toxins into nature and destroy the water disposal system. Hence government authorities imposed heavy restrictions on the use of toxic materials hindering the market growth.

  • International Trade Regulations on Demulsifiers 

The global demulsifier market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product type into water and oil soluble. Out of these sub-segments, the water-soluble segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size in the global demulsifier market owing to the increasing research focusing on the application of water-soluble demulsifiers. It was observed that the separation improves with increasing demulsifier concentration, salt content, and temperature to 81 °C while keeping pH values between 6-9. Furthermore, water-soluble demulsifiers mix easily with emulsions and initiate oil-in-water emulsions separation. In addition, the product's properties such as non-hazardous, non-toxic, and non-inflammatory increase the quality of fuel, as well as economic pricing of the product are expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period. 


Global Demulsifier Market Regional Synopsis

The Middle East & Africa demulsifier market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2035. The expansion of oil & gas industry in the region. Further, the increasing production of crude oil in countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, and South Africa is expected to increase demand for demulsifiers in the region. For instance, crude oil production in Saudi Arabia increased from 8,500 thousand barrels per day (b/d) in 2021 to 10,400 thousand b/d in 2022 growing at a rate of 1.80% on an annual basis. As a result, demulsifiers have been in high demand in the country. Furthermore, onshore and offshore oil extraction activities in different Middle East & Africa countries and the presence of a large number of key market players are further expected to drive the global demulsifier market growth in the region over the forecast period.

Global Economic Impact

Request Insights
Despite Inflation & Fearing Recession, Businesses Across the Globe Expected to Do Better in 2023:

In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
