Executive Summary

Crude oil flow improvers are tools used to maintain the viscosity of crude oil during processing and transportation. They act as additives that optimize production and offer solutions throughout the entire crude oil extraction process, from reservoir to refinery. These flow improvers help reduce the energy required for various stages such as processing, pipeline distribution, surface boosting, and artificial lift in crude oil operations.

The primary products in crude oil flow improvers include paraffin inhibitors, asphaltene inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and hydrate inhibitors. Paraffin inhibitors, for instance, involve chemical processes that modify the size and structure of wax crystals, redistributing paraffin back into the oil to ensure a consistent flow. The applications of crude oil flow improvers span extraction, transportation, and refining processes.

This crude oil flow improvers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The crude oil flow improvers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2023 to $1.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the utilization of high-viscosity oil, the increasing adoption of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, the demand for cost efficiency, adherence to regulatory compliance, and the overall growth in oil production.

The crude oil flow improvers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.39 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a heightened focus on environmental impact, the demand for enhanced pipeline efficiency, increased production of heavy crude oil, growing market demand in emerging economies, the rise in unconventional oil extraction, expansion in shale oil production, and the demand for low dosage solutions. Major trends expected in this period include a concentrated focus on offshore oil operations, efforts to achieve economic efficiency in pipeline operations, a shift towards Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods, and ongoing technological innovations within the industry.

The anticipated surge in crude oil demand is set to be a driving force behind the crude oil flow improvers market. Crude oil flow improvers are crucial in maintaining the viscosity of crude oil, and their demand aligns with the projected global increase in oil demand. According to the International Energy Agency's estimates for 2021 and 2022, global oil demand is expected to witness a substantial rise, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. This increase in demand, defying earlier projections, underscores the crucial role of crude oil flow improvers in supporting the extraction, transportation, refining, and production of renewable fuels, thus driving market growth.

The escalating demand for energy is anticipated to propel the expansion of the crude oil flow improvers market. With a focus on powering machinery, equipment, and tools required for various operations, energy consumption in the industrial sector, including crude oil extraction and processing, is projected to increase. The Energy Information Administration's forecast for the US industrial sector indicates a substantial rise in energy usage between 2022 and 2050, emphasizing the integral role of crude oil flow improvers in maintaining operational efficiency amid growing energy demands.

Key players in the crude oil flow improvers market are actively innovating new products to enhance service offerings. Notable among these innovations is Clariant AG's introduction of PHASETREAT WET in January 2023. This sustainable demulsification process for the oil and gas industry aims to reduce demulsifier dosages significantly, optimizing onshore and offshore operations. By overcoming challenges inherent in traditional oil production processes, this innovative product contributes to the reliability and efficiency of crude oil flow improvers.
