Increasing investments by the government in oil & gas explorational activities are anticipated to fuel the demand for sulfonated asphalt in the oil & gas industry. For instance, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), over 3,300 oil & gas wells are likely to be drilled in 2021, as compared to 3,000 wells that were drilled in 2020. Moreover, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global oil demand is anticipated to increase by 5.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) between 2019 to 2025. These factors are in turn, expected anticipated to fuel the demand for drilling fluids, thus driving the sulfonated asphalt market growth.
As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Rajat Verma, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on the society and overall economy of the world. The impact of COVID-19 is growing by the day and affecting the supply chain of the industries. The coronavirus pandemic is increasing uncertainty among consumers buying behavior, thus slowing the supply chain, increasing panic among customers, and reducing business confidence. The oil & gas sector is a major part of the economy. Certain discrepancies in production and supply chain are creating mild disruption across some areas in the supply chain of the sulfonated asphalt market. Moreover, the economic downturn decreases the demand for sulfonated asphalt in the local and export markets. This, in turn, is anticipated to hamper the sulfonated asphalt market.
Key Takeaways from the Study
- The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a rapid pace owing to increasing demand for sulfonated asphalt from developing economies such as India and China.
