Hydraulic fracturing service providers have recently been on a roller coaster ride of sorts. The pandemic initially hit them hard as travel restrictions and safety measures led to a considerable slowing of industries across the board. This noticeably reduced the need for fossil fuels. However, as restrictions were lifted and travel resumed, companies enjoyed a precipitous recovery. Events like Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 served to further elevate prices and ramp up production in the US. Revenue for service providers have pushed up at a CAGR of 13.8% through 2025, reaching $40.3 billion. This includes a 0.4% dip in 2025 alone as price stagnations constrained growth after massive spikes in the middle of the period. Hydraulic fracturing service providers have leveraged technological developments, like fiber-optic cables and revolutionary software, to optimize efficiency and boost profits, even amid increasing costs. The rising domestic and global demand for natural gas has spurred expansion. The European Union's sanctions on Russian natural gas liquids have carved a niche for US producers to step in, leading to a surge in exports, even making the US the largest natural gas liquid exporter in the world. While exports to European countries did eventually creep down in 2024, this stemmed from lower consumption due to milder winters. Looking ahead, while domestic oil and gas production is slated to continue its ascent over the next five years, hydraulic fracturing service providers may find themselves embattled because of falling prices and a looming regulatory squeeze. Dwindling prices could impact their ability to charge premium rates, leading to price-based drops. While hydraulic fracturing services must consider local and regional regulations, like temporary or permanent bans, recent legislation prevents the President from imposing a federal moratorium on fracking, so companies do not need to worry about new federal restrictions. Overall, revenue is set to push down at a CAGR of 0.6% through 2030, reaching $39.1 billion.

Market Dynamic

Our researchers studied the market research and growth data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.

Driver- Increasing consumption of natural gas

The increasing consumption of fuel in developing economies such as India and China due to rapid industrialization and urbanization will increase the demand for natural gas during the forecast period. According to the IEA, demand in China grew from more than 275 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2019 to 375 bcm in 2023. This increase in demand is mainly attributed to the growing demand in fertilizer plants, power generation units, and the petrochemical, transportation, and residential and commercial sectors. China has been using it in many industrial and household applications.

Additionally, the demand for power generation in developing countries in APAC, such as China and India, is also increasing. According to the IEA, the consumption in India for power generation is expected to grow by six bcm during 2018-2024. Therefore, the increasing demand for natural gas will lead to an increase in demand for more offshore and onshore projects. These factors will lead to a high demand to access unconventional gas reserves, such as shale gas, which will drive the expansion of the market over the forecast period.

Trends- Shift in focus toward natural gas vehicles (NGVs)

Low operating costs and emissions have increased the adoption of both passenger and commercial NGVs. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as GM, Fiat, Ford, Volvo, and Audi offer light, medium, and heavy vehicles that are powered by natural gas. The growing popularity of NGVs has encouraged companies such as Ford and GM to introduce certified natural gas conversion systems.

Moreover, the use of NGVs offers several advantages when compared with conventional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. The availability of natural gas-powered engines in different capacities and the economic benefits of their use have increased the adoption of NGVs. This is increasing the demand for new CNG stations. Moreover, they produce only 5%-10% of allowable emissions and do not produce greenhouse gasses, which lowers the impact on the environment. Hence, the increase in the usage of NGVs will positively impact the market development during the forecast period.

Challenge- Environmental concerns

The hydraulic fracturing process requires millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals for its operations. The requirement for water depletes the natural water resources, leading to a reduction in the freshwater supply. Moreover, the chemicals added to the hydraulic fracturing process cause major health concerns to the inhabitants of the nearby areas. For instance, chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, ethylene glycol, methanol, and isopropanol are used in the hydraulic fracturing process, and they cause health hazards related to respiratory tracts and the nervous system.

Moreover, the increase in seismic activities is another environmental impact that negatively affects the growth of the market. This process includes the water injection process for disposing of wastewater. The injection of wastewater increases the rates of earthquakes in the environment. The volumes of water injected and the depth of wastewater injection levels are a few factors that generate tremors on the earth's surface. Hence, the environmental impacts may lead to a decrease in demand for shale gas, which, in turn, acts as a major challenge for the market expansion during the forecast period.
