Oil and Gas Market Report 2025

The oil and gas market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.75 trillion in 2024 to $8.18 trillion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to surge in crude oil and natural gas production, expansion of petrochemical industry, emerging markets growth, and a rise in investments for oil and gas exploration in developing countries.

The oil and gas market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.89 trillion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in resource exploration and government support will drive the market growth. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on emission reduction solutions, shift towards digital technologies, growing popularity of reservoir modeling, investing in oil drilling activities, and industry alliances for advanced drilling solutions.

The oil and gas industry is expected to benefit positively from low interest rates in most developed countries throughout the forecast period. For instance, in September 2023, the UK reduced interest rates to a historic low of 0.1%, maintaining this level until December 2021. Additionally, other central banks in countries such as North Macedonia, South Africa, Malaysia, Kenya, Argentina, Ukraine, Sri Lanka, and Azerbaijan, along with Turkey, also implemented interest rate reductions in 2021.

Anticipated growth in the oil and gas market is driven by increasing government investments. Government investment involves the use of public funds to finance activities aimed at generating long-term benefits for the economy and society. These investments support research and development initiatives in new oil and gas exploration and production technologies. They may also include the construction or expansion of critical components in the oil and gas supply chain, such as pipelines, refineries, and storage facilities. For example, in June 2023, as reported by Datacenter Forum, the Norwegian government approved an $18 billion investment for the development of 19 oil and gas fields. Consequently, the upward trajectory of government investments plays a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the oil and gas market.

Oil price volatility is expected to adversely affect the market, as significant fluctuations in prices impact both government and consumer spending. A decline in oil prices has negatively affected government spending in countries heavily reliant on crude oil export revenues, such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and the UAE. Conversely, a sharp increase in oil prices has led to inflation, current account deficits, and fiscal deficits in major oil-importing countries like India and China. For example, in June 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected a 2% increase in U.S. crude oil production from 2023 levels, reaching an average of 13.2 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2024, with an additional 4% rise expected in 2025 to 13.7 million b/d. This volatility in oil prices, driven by revenue declines from exports, is anticipated to negatively impact the market in the future.

Major players in the oil and gas industry are increasingly exploring the integration of big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance decision-making capabilities and drive profits. These companies accumulate vast amounts of raw data from sensors placed across oil rigs, refineries, pipelines, and other infrastructure. Leveraging big data analytics enables them to identify patterns, allowing swift responses to unwanted changes or potential defects and resulting in cost savings. AI technologies empower these companies to make improved drilling and operational decisions. For instance, industry giants such as ExxonMobil and Shell are heavily investing in AI technology to establish centralized data management methods and support data integration across various applications. Similarly, Sinopec, a Chinese chemical and petroleum corporation, has announced plans to construct 10 intelligent centers, aiming to reduce operational costs by 20%.

Major companies engaged in the oil and gas market are placing emphasis on the development of innovative products, such as modular induction motors, to gain a competitive edge. A modular induction motor is an electric motor designed for customization and configuration, enabling the creation of a motor with the desired power rating, speed, and mounting configuration. In June 2023, ABB Group, a Switzerland-based provider of power and automation technologies, introduced the AMI 5800 NEMA modular induction motor. Renowned for its outstanding energy efficiency and reliability in demanding applications such as pumps, compressors, fans, extruders, conveyors, and crushers, the AMI 5800 offers a high degree of modularity and adaptability for both new build and upgrade projects across various industries, including chemical, oil, and gas. It is rated for a power output of up to 1750 HP.

Oil and gas are natural resources extracted from deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Oil, also known as petroleum, is a liquid primarily refined into fuels like gasoline and used in producing various chemicals. Natural gas, a gaseous fossil fuel, is mainly utilized for heating, electricity generation, and as a key input in several industries. Both resources play a vital role in powering industries, transportation, and supporting the global economy.

The primary categories are oil and gas upstream activities, as well as oil downstream products. Oil and gas upstream activities encompass exploration tasks such as conducting geological surveys, securing land rights, and engaging in production activities, including both onshore and offshore drilling. Different drilling types include offshore and onshore, which find applications in residential, commercial, institutional, and various other contexts.
