The world market for oil field chemicals, expressed in sales dollars at the service company level, reached $25.0 billion in 2014, and is projected to grow at about 4.0% annually to almost $30.5 billion in 2019.The 2019 forecast would have been higher, had it not been for the recent declines in oil pricing and further consumption declines forecast for 2015 and 2016, in particular for shale oil applications, prior to higher growth rates during 2017-2019.
Overall sales revenue including proppants and services reached $57.4 billion in 2014. Sales revenue at the manufacturer’s level reached $8.9 billion.
