Demulsifier Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The market of demulsifier was stood around $2.0 billion in 2020 and is projected to showcase significant growth of around 4% during the forecast (2021-2027). Demulsifiers, or emulsion breakers, are a class of specialty chemical that is used to separate emulsions. Demulsifiers are majorly used in the processing of crude oil, along with significant quantities of saline water. These are surface-active agents, which is used to neutralize the effect of emulsifying agents and act on the emulsion by flocculation of oil droplets, dropping of water, and coalescence of the water droplets. Additionally, demulsifiers are used in the chemical analysis of oil and synthetic muds and to treat produced hydrocarbons. The factors that are driving the market is the rising demand for oil and related derivatives necessitates the high production of crude oil. However, strict environmental regulation on the use of chemical demulsifiers is expected to hinder the growth of the market in the forecasted period. 

The outbreak of coronavirus in 2020 had severely impacted the economic conditions around the globe. The oil industry from past few years had seen slumped in the prices and oil exporting countries had faced travel restrictions during covid-19 has doubled the effect on the fossil fuel industry. In addition, oil and gas industry is highly dependent on foreign investment of machinery for the exploration and shutdown of all the activities had put halt in the project implementation. Hence, demand for demulsifies significantly impacted due to Covid-19.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst type, oil soluble segment dominated the market in 2020.”

Based on type, the global demulsifier market is bifurcated into oil soluble and water soluble. Currently, oil soluble segment dominates the market and expected to grow at an influential rate in the forecasted period as well. It is mainly owing to the increasing demand for this type of demulsifier in emulsion breaking. As oil soluble demulsifiers are extremely effective in separating water in oil emulsion, as the water is in the dispersed phase, while oil is in the continuous phase.

 “Amongst application, crude oil segment dominated the market in 2020.”

Based on application, the market is segmented into crude oil, petro refineries, lubricant manufacturing, oil-based power plants, sludge oil treatment and others. The crude oil segment witnesses significant demand post covid-19. It is mainly owing to the surging demand for petroleum and petroleum products coupled with discoveries of new oil fields and crude oil reserves expected to positively influence the market demand for demulsifier.
