Oil & Gas Processing Seals Market Report 2026

The oil & gas processing seals market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $6.63 billion in 2025 to $6.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of upstream and downstream oil and gas operations, increasing pipeline infrastructure development, growth in refinery capacity, rising demand for equipment reliability, adoption of advanced sealing technologies.

The oil & gas processing seals market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in refinery upgrades, rising focus on emission reduction compliance, growing adoption of advanced elastomer materials, expansion of LNG and gas processing facilities, increasing demand for high-temperature sealing solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-performance mechanical seals, rising demand for corrosion-resistant seal materials, growing use of double seal configurations, expansion of custom-engineered sealing solutions, enhanced focus on leakage prevention.

The rise in crude oil production is expected to drive the growth of the oil and gas processing seals market in the coming years. Crude oil is a naturally occurring liquid petroleum resource composed of hydrocarbons and other organic materials formed from the remains of plants and animals over millions of years. Processing seals play a critical role in protecting crude oil after extraction and at oil storage and terminal facilities by preventing leakage, tampering, and theft. As crude oil production increases, the need for reliable sealing solutions across processing, storage, and transportation operations also rises. For example, in March 2024, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based government agency, reported that average crude oil production in the United States reached 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023, compared with an average of 12.3 million barrels per day over the previous four years. Therefore, rising crude oil production is supporting the growth of the oil and gas processing seals market.

Major companies operating in the oil and gas processing seals market are focusing on introducing heavy-duty dual cartridge seals that incorporate Upstream Pumping (USP) technology to improve operational efficiency, enhance reliability, and reduce maintenance requirements in demanding environments, particularly within upstream oil and gas operations. Upstream Pumping (USP) technology is an advanced sealing approach designed for exploration and production activities, where harsh operating conditions are common. For instance, in April 2023, John Crane Inc., a US-based engineering company, launched the Type SB2/SB2A USP seal, a heavy-duty dual cartridge seal featuring Upstream Pumping technology. This seal is engineered for challenging applications, including those involving abrasive fluids and slurries with solid content of up to 40% by weight and material hardness levels reaching eight on the Mohs scale, making it well suited for severe upstream operating conditions.

In November 2023, Longacre Group Limited, a UK-based company, acquired Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Ireland Limited for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Longacre Group aims to broaden its product portfolio by integrating Saint-Gobain’s expertise in oil and gas processing seal solutions. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Ireland Limited is an Ireland-based manufacturer specializing in the production of seals used in oil and gas processing applications.
