The increasing demand for energy is expected to drive the growth of the shale gas processing equipment market in the future. Energy demand refers to the total amount of power or heat consumed by fixed structures on farms, measured in kilowatt-hours or kilowatt-hour equivalents over a specific period. Shale gas positively affects supply levels and consumer prices for natural gas, offering additional environmental benefits. Natural gas accounts for about a quarter of the total energy consumption in the U.S. For example, a report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France that analyzes and provides data on the global energy sector, revealed that global electricity demand rose by nearly 2% in 2022, with the United States experiencing a significant year-on-year increase of 2.6%. Looking forward, global electricity demand is expected to grow at a notably higher rate of 3% annually from 2023 to 2025, outpacing the growth rate observed in 2022. Thus, the rising energy demand is driving the expansion of the shale gas processing equipment market.

The growth of the gas processing equipment market is expected to be driven by the increase in urbanization. Urbanization refers to the migration of people from rural areas to cities, resulting in the expansion of urban areas. Gas processing equipment plays a vital role in supporting urbanization by providing the necessary infrastructure for the efficient distribution of natural gas. This facilitates the growth of residential and industrial areas, promoting cleaner energy solutions for the expanding urban population. As of April 2022, over 4.3 billion people, accounting for 55% of the world's population, were living in urban settings, with projections indicating an increase to 80% by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum. Consequently, the upward trajectory of urbanization is fueling the gas processing equipment market.

A notable trend in the shale gas processing equipment market is the focus on product innovations. Key companies in the market are actively developing innovative products to strengthen their market positions. For example, in July 2023, ABB Ltd., an automation company based in Sweden, introduced the ABB XIO series, a new I/O (input/output) series catering to the digital requirements of the oil and gas sector. This series is designed to enhance monitoring, control, and management of oil and gas flow applications, utilizing Ethernet-to-Serial passthrough applications for real-time monitoring and control, ultimately improving data accessibility and integrity.

Major players in the gas processing equipment market are emphasizing the introduction of cost-effective renewable gas production equipment to gain a competitive edge. This equipment includes technologies and machinery that efficiently generate renewable gases while remaining affordable and operationally effective. For instance, in October 2023, Haffner Energy, a French company, launched a range of economically competitive and environmentally friendly renewable gas production equipment aimed at replacing natural gas in industry. This solution is designed to assist European industrial facilities in managing energy expenses while transitioning to greener processes. The offering is an expanded version of Haffner Energy's SYNOCA solution, providing increased capacity for a more efficient and sustainable energy source.

In October 2022, Enerflex Ltd., a Canada-based company specializing in shale gas processing equipment, acquired Exterran Corporation for $1.5 billion. This acquisition allows Enerflex to enhance its capacity to serve customers in essential natural gas, water, and energy transition markets. Exterran Corporation is a U.S.-based provider of natural gas compression and oil and gas equipment.

Shale gas refers to a variety of natural gas found underground within shale rock formations. Shale gas processing equipment is employed to process, refine, and treat shale gas, preparing it for commercial use before transportation. These processing units play a crucial role in the midstream phase of the oil and gas industry, facilitating the production of shale gas.

The primary components of shale gas processing equipment include compressors and pumps, electrical machinery, heat exchangers, internal combustion engines, measuring and controlling devices, and other associated components. Compressors are mechanical devices that decrease the volume of a gas to elevate its pressure, while pumps are designed to transfer challenging liquids, including those containing solids or highly viscous fluids. Various processes involved in shale gas processing encompass distillation, pyrolysis, reheating, cracking, and chemical treatment. These processes find application in pipelines, natural gas processing plants, facilities dealing with liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), crude oil transportation by rail, and other midstream applications.
