Pressure pumping involves the process of creating fractures in multiple rock layers by using pressure-fracturing fluid and pushing cement into a wellbore. A pressure pump is employed to move water from one point to another or in situations requiring a higher flow rate or increased water pressure.
The primary pump types used in pressure pumping are dynamic and positive displacement pumps. Dynamic pumps are designed to transfer fluid by imparting kinetic energy from their rotors (impellers) to the fluid. These pumps operate at various pressures, including low, medium, and high levels, and find applications in diverse industries such as oil and gas, mining, chemicals, municipalities, marine, automotive, food and beverage, construction, agriculture, and others.
The pressure pumping market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides pressure pumping market statistics, including pressure pumping industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a pressure pumping market share, detailed pressure pumping market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the pressure pumping industry. This pressure pumping market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The pressure pumping market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $59.64 billion in 2024 to $62.45 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in hydraulic fracturing, rise in oil and gas exploration, shale revolution, global energy demand, market liberalization, stringent environmental standards, cost efficiency in oil recovery.
The pressure pumping market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $77.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to transition to unconventional resources, strategic reserves and security, sustainable practices, renewable hydrogen production, hydrogen economy development, market competitiveness. Major trends in the forecast period include investments in upstream operations, collaboration in the energy industry, digitalization in oil and gas, technological innovations, horizontal drilling practices, remote monitoring and automation.
The increasing exploration activities in the oil, gas, and mining sectors are expected to drive growth in the pressure-pumping market in the coming years. The oil and gas industry includes a specialized sector known as exploration and production (E&P), which focuses on the initial phase of energy production. To extract oil from wells, additional lift systems are required to pump reservoir oil, making pressure pumps essential for producing heavy oil and bringing it to the surface. For instance, in February 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a U.S. Federal Statistical System agency, reported that the UAE's proved crude oil reserves were estimated at 111 billion barrels at the start of 2023, an increase from 107 billion barrels the previous year. Consequently, the growing exploration activities in the oil, gas, and mining industries are propelling the growth of the pressure-pumping market.
A heightened emphasis on reserve replacement is a driving force behind the pressure-pumping market. Reserve replacement involves replenishing the volume of hydrocarbons extracted by an oil and gas company through exploration and production activities. Pressure pumping technologies play a pivotal role in sustaining, growing, and enhancing hydrocarbon reserves. They find application in unconventional resource development, enhanced oil recovery, and optimizing mature fields. Notably, Shell plc reported a proved oil and gas reserves replacement ratio of 120%, signifying a significant increase from the three-year average of 58%. Similarly, ConocoPhillips achieved a total reserve replacement ratio of 176%, coupled with 6.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (Gboe) in proved reserves for 2022. This increased focus on reserve replacement is expected to drive the pressure-pumping market forward.
Product innovations have emerged as a prominent trend in the pressure-pumping market. Key market players are actively developing innovative products to fortify their market positions. For example, Waterjet Corporation introduced the E-Drive Pro in 2022, a 100% electric servo intensifier pump boasting high efficiency (90%), the ability to withstand physical stress, and the capacity to deliver pressures of up to 6,500 bars with 90% efficiency.
Major companies in the pressure-pumping market are directing efforts toward developing advanced products, including precision-controlled pumping units, to gain a competitive edge. Precision-controlled pumping units, which enable precise and controlled pumping operations, find applications in various industries, including oil and gas and water management. MEDATECH Engineering Services Ltd. introduced the MEDATech Borterra WaterBox in June 2022, recognized as the world's first precision-controlled pumping unit designed for down-the-hole water hammer drilling.
In January 2023, ProFrac Holding Corp., a U.S.-based provider of hydraulic fracturing and completion services to upstream oil and gas companies, acquired REV Energy Holdings for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables ProFrac Holding Corp. to enhance its pressure pumping capabilities and broaden its geographic presence in key oil-producing regions, thereby positioning the company for greater competitiveness and growth in the pressure pumping sector. REV Energy Holdings is also a U.S.-based company specializing in pressure pumping services.
