Global Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market was valued at US$ 1,587 Million in 2022. According to global crude oil flow improvers market report, By Product Type (Paraffin Inhibitors, Asphaltene Inhibitors, Scale Inhibitors, Drag Reducing Agent, Emulsion Breakers, Biocides, Pour Point, Depressants, Free Flow/Anticaking Agents, and Others (Hydrate Inhibitors, Wax Dispersants, etc.), By Application (Extraction, Pipeline, and Refinery), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Global crude oil flow improvers market is projected to reach US$ 2,398.8 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Increasing oil exploration and production activities in deep water is expected to fuel growth of the global crude oil flow improvers market. Exhaustion of shallow offshore resources led manufacturers to explore and produce oil and gas from deep water and ultra-deep water (at depths of 1,500 meters or more) resources. Low temperatures and high pressure on the offshore locations can lead to precipitation of waxes, hydrates, and asphaltenes. Crude oil flow improvers helps in limiting such issues, and aid in carrying out smooth and efficient operations. However, increasing natural gas production is expected to hinder growth of the global crude oil flow improvers market. According to Energy Information Administration (EIA), dry natural gas production in the U.S. averaged 86.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in October 2022, and was increased by 0.7 Bcf/d from September 2022.

Key Trends and Analysis of the Global Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market:
- Among product type, paraffin inhibitors segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018, in the global crude oil flow improvers market. However, the biocides segment is projected to witness the fastest growth in the global crude oil flow improvers market during the forecast period. Biocides are used in all stages of oilfield development from initial drilling of the wells during production of oil and gas to the maintenance of the field including storage and refining. Biocides need to fulfill some criteria to be used in the oil and gas industry. Criteria include it should have high biocidal capabilities in a broad spectrum of activity, long duration of action, good solubility in water and hydrocarbons, and chemical and thermal stability.
- Among applications, the pipeline segment accounted for the largest market share in terms of revenue in the global crude oil flow improvers market in 2018. However, the extraction segment is also expected to exhibit the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. Certain crude oils deposit solid waxes during extraction. These deposits plug the wellbore tubing and valves, and coats the surface safety, and process control equipment. Wax is also accumulated in separators and in pipelines during extraction. Wells producing water usually develops deposits of inorganic scales during extraction.
Key Takeaways of the Market:
- North America accounted for the largest revenue share in the global crude oil flow improvers market in 2018. According to EIA, around 75% of Canada’s crude oil production is exported by pipelines. There is a huge demand for crude oil flow improvers in the midstream sector in North America. Four major pipelines including TransCanada Keystone supplies 3 mb/d crude oil from Western Canada to domestic refining centers in the east or to consumers in the U.S.
- Africa is projected to witness significant growth in the global crude oil flow improvers over the forecast period, owing to increasing exploration and production activity in the deep and ultra-deep water in this region.
- Major players operating in the global crude oil flow improvers market include Halliburton Company, BASF SE, LiquidPower Specialty Products Inc., Schlumberger Ltd., Baker Hughes, A GE Company, Nalco Champion, Clariant AG, Evonik Industries AG, Infineum International Limited, and Innospec Inc.,
