An increase in offshore and onshore drilling operations along with growth in complex oil and gas drilling projects are driving the demand for better and advanced drill bits. The market is witnessing rising adoption of products like PDC bits, hybrid bits, and tricone bits which provide more efficiency and help in reducing drilling time. Additionally, focus on extracting oil and gas from unconventional reserves and increasing investments in complex wells are expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Key players are investing in the development of drill bits with properties like high strength, corrosion, and wear resistance to cater to evolving industry requirements.

Increasing E&P (Exploration and Production) Activities

With oil prices stabilizing over the past few years and demand continuing to rise globally, oil and gas companies have increased their exploration and production spending significantly. Major oil producers such as ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron have ramped up their capital expenditure budgets for offshore and onshore E&P projects around the world. National oil companies of countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq have also expanded search for new oilfields. This has directly contributed to higher demand for drill bits as they are crucial equipment required for drilling oil and gas wells. More wells being drilled translates to requirement of new drill bits. Further, drill bits wear out with use and need periodic replacement, contributing to recurring market for drill bits industry. Experts predict that global upstream capital spending on oil and gas E&P is set to grow at a healthy pace over the medium term, assuming oil prices remain stable. This will ensure continuous demand flow for oilfield drill bits from drilling activities.
