North America has been the dominant force in the global production chemicals market with 45.6% of the market share, driven by the size and maturity of the oil and gas industry based in the U.S. and Canada. The region is home to many industry-leading oilfield service companies that have pioneered production optimization techniques and produced a variety of proprietary chemistries for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery rates. This strong base of technological expertise and intellectual property in the production chemicals domain has cemented North America's leadership position. Additionally, the prevalence of older legacy oil fields that require sophisticated chemical-based enhanced oil recovery methods to prolong their productive lives has sustained high demand for production chemicals from local oil producers. However, the regional market is now facing increasing competition from abroad as intellectual property protections expire and foreign firms catch up technologically.

The Middle East market has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for production chemicals. Countries in the Persian Gulf such as Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E hold vast reservoirs of untapped oil reserves that national oil companies are actively working to develop and monetize. This presents a major opportunity for production chemical providers to supply polymers, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and other materials to facilitate optimal extraction from these newly online fields. While the regional market was traditionally supplied through North American and European imports, local content regulations instituted by Gulf nations are driving the establishment of production chemical production hubs and technical service centers in the Middle East by international industry players. Reliance on imported production chemicals is giving way to locally manufactured solutions. This is transforming the Middle East into a strategically important production chemicals market with immense potential for further growth.
