Oilfield Communication Solution market insights:
The Microwave Communication Network segment to hold significant market share
In the terms of types, the market is divided into cellular communication network, VSAT communication network, fiber optic-based communication network, microwave communication network, and tetra network. Microwave communication networks are commonly employed for off-shore to land and off-shore to off-shore connectivity. They are less expensive than an optical fiber communication network and surpass traditional satellite communications, in terms of capability and latency (VSAT). Fiber-optic communication is more expensive than microwave communication; therefore, it is used as an alternative to fiber-optic communication and VSAT communication.

M2M Communication segment held substantial market share in 2020
On the basis of solutions, the oilfield communication solution market is fragmented into M2M communication, asset performance communications, unified communication, and others. The M2M communication software segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, as it provides rapid data transmission without data loss. Secure gateway devices, remote accessibility, low latency, and robust hardened devices are all features of M2M communication software. Segment growth is driven by increasing competition.

Offshore communication segment to grow during the forecast period
Based on field location, the market is bifurcated into onshore and offshore segments. The onshore sector is projected to be driven by the difficulty of deep-water drilling and rising use of oilfield communications techniques in countries in the Middle East and North America, where a majority of oilfields are located onshore.
Midstream segment to expand during the forecast period
Based on applications, the oilfield communications solution market is divided into upstream, midstream, and downstream. The midstream segment is estimated to expand at a rapid CAGR during the forecast period, which may be due to midstream operators' rising desire to acquire a better understanding and management of data, which results in intelligent decision making, safe conditions, enhanced efficiency, and high profitability.
Middle East & Africa to hold key market share
In terms of regions, the oilfield communications solution market is split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe is anticipated to hold a key share of the market, while the market in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period due to rising number of oil refineries and many exploration operations across the region. Countries in the MEA have a plethora of exploration sites, rigs, and refineries, and complicated control systems dispersed throughout the region, which are estimated to propel the oilfield communications market.
