The Concentrated Solar Power Market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.67% over the forecasted period to reach a market size of US$2.602 billion in 2027 from the US$1.280 billion in 2020.

Concentrated solar power plants are systems that use mirrors to concentrate the energy of the sun and use it for the operation of the conventional steam turbines as well as engines that generate electricity. The thermal energy that is concentrated in a CSP plant is retainable and can be stored and used to generate electricity as per the requirement of the user, be it day or night.

This technology helps in the generation of electricity by focusing on sunlight. The energy of the sun which is concentrated is then converted into high-temperature heat, which is then processed through a conventional generator. A CSP plant comprises of two parts: the function of the first one is to collect the solar energy and convert it into heat, while the second converts that produced heat energy into electricity. Because of the use of the thermal storage functionality, these systems are able to supply solar power as and when required, helping to tackle the grid integration challenges regarding the variability of solar energy and enabling the heat produced through it to be stored until the time the electricity is needed. Apart from powering a turbine, CSP technology can also be used in the production of heat in a broad range of industrial applications like food processing, water desalination, enhanced, chemical production, oil recovery and mineral processing among others.

Rapidly growing global consumption of electricity to augment market growth

A key factor which is fuelling the demand for concentrated solar power is the constantly growing consumption of electricity across the globe. According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), the electricity consumption worldwide has been increasing at a faster rate than the rate of rise of global population, which has led to an increase in the average amount of electricity consumed by each person, which can also be called, per capita electricity consumption. Most of the rise in electricity consumption can be attributed to the growing electricity consumption in developing economies outside the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), which use electricity various spaces like in buildings for lighting and operating appliances, for manufacturing goods in industrial processes, as well as in the transportation sector for powering rail and light-duty vehicles. This continuous inclination of per capita electricity consumption has reflected the rapid transition to more energy-intensive industries. This along with changes in demand of services, like, the growing use of air conditioners and other electric appliances add further to the already growing electricity consumption. Adding to this, even in the less developed non-OECD countries, the per capita electricity growth has grown to more than double in the time period between 2000 and 2017. Hence, all these factors have attributed to the increase in global consumption of electricity, which in turn is expected to give rise to the use of renewable, clean energies like solar energy, thus projecting a growth for the CSP market.

Government schemes and policies regarding green energy to drive market growth

In recent times, the governments of various countries have rolled out policies and programs to that will lead to rise in the installation of the CSP technology which is turn projected to bolster the growth of this market in the analysed period. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy provides a great amount of funding through competitive awards to universities, industries, and laboratories with the common aim of making wide-scale dispatchable solar energy systems cost-effective without the need of any subsidy by 2020. MUSTEC (Market uptake of solar thermal electricity through cooperation), in view of EU 2030, has the goal of exploring and proposing viable solutions to overcome the obstacles that restrain the arrangement of CSP cooperation projects. All these initiatives and plans are thus predicted to contribute greatly towards setting up of more CSP technology leading to the growth of the market.

The fracking fluid and chemicals market is estimated to be valued at US$26.724 billion in 2020.

Chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing are known as fracking fluids and chemicals. Hydraulic fracturing is a method of releasing natural gas and oil from subterranean rock by injecting fluid with sand and chemicals under high pressure. More sustainable energy is now available thanks to hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing fluids and chemicals are being used to reduce frictional pressure loss, create a wide fracture by employment and income generating pressure drop, and preserve well stability, among other things. These are used in hydraulic fracturing to prevent corrosion, dissolve minerals, stabilise the product, prevent scale deposition, and maintain fluid viscosity, among other things.

The global fracking chemicals industry has been dominated by rising demand for oil and gas as a result of rising fuel and energy demand due to an expanding population. Furthermore, the fracking chemicals industry is growing due to a shift in trend toward horizontal drilling, which has a systemic mechanism for recovering unconventional shale reserves using hydraulic fracturing technology. In addition, the continuous development of unconventional oil and gas sources in order to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on imported oil imports in many nations is moving the product market forward.

The Shift in Drilling Wells From Vertical to Horizontal

There has been a huge surge in horizontally fracking activity in recent years. This process demands a higher volume of fracking fluids and chemicals. As a result, the need for fracking chemicals and fluids s has been steadily increasing. Over the forecast term, the tendency is expected to continue. Increased energy consumption necessitates greater exploration, which leads to increased demand for fracking fluids and chemicals. When opposed to vertical drilling, horizontal drilling has a lower environmental impact. Oil and gas firms can extract the same amount of oil and gas from a horizontal well as they do from a score or more vertical wells.

Water-Based Fluids Are the Most Often Employed Fracking Fluids

The market is divided into water-based, oil-based, gelled based and others. The type of fracking chemicals being used may also be determined by cost, technological intricacy based on geological conditions, and environmental impact. Water-based fluids are the most often employed fracking fluids because to their versatility and cost-effectiveness. Water-based fluids are non-viscous, have low particle concentrations, and can be pumped at a faster rate to achieve narrow cracks. Complex fractures are possible thanks to the different features of water-based fluids, such as high fluid efficiency, low particles concentrations, and higher compression rate. Aqueous, brine, saturate or formic acid brine are all examples of water-based fluids. Over the projection period, rising concern about the impact on the environment of oil and gas activities is expected to drive up demand for water-based fluids. Oil-based fluids are employed in small amounts in the hydraulic fracturing sector due to the negative environmental impact associated with water outflow. However, as environmental concerns and ecosystem harm grow, semisolid petroleum fluids are projected to rise in popularity.

The horizontal well segment accounted for a large portion of the fracking fluid and chemicals market.

The market is divided into vertical and horizontal well type. Horizontal wells allow drillers to access a much larger area and produce oil from a reservoir at a much slower rate. Vertical wells, on the other hand, produce oil in a short period using shorter boreholes. The diverse effect connected with the flowing pattern of horizontal drilling is reduced throughout the long drain, resulting in an increase in total production. Within a big field, horizontally drilled wells provide accessibility to do it by and separated gas and oil accumulations. This enables massive amounts of natural gas to be extracted. It allows more energy to be harvested with fewer wells, making it more efficient and productive than before.

Gelling Agent Segment Held a Significant Share in the Fracking Fluid & Chemicals Market

The market is divided into water-Based, oil based, gelled based and others. Fluids are often delivered in one of two ways: high viscosity or high rate. For this, a gelling agent is used to thicken the water, enabling higher viscosity fracturing chemicals to be injected, causing the fractures to grow significantly. Friction reducers work by lowering pipe friction, allowing for greater injection rates. Buffers are used to keep the pH of fluids stable even under extreme conditions like high temperature and pressure. The clay control agent helps stabilise the clay in shale structure by reacting with clays in rock and formation via sodium-potassium ion exchange.

Impact on the Environment

There have been several public worries about the use of water in areas with limited supplies, as well as pollution and other environment risks associated with fracking. Foam-based fluids can help industry overcome these challenges by utilising and capitalising on them. This method uses less water than standard cracking and might help firms answer public concerns about fracturing’s environmental effects. Backflow of water can contaminate surface and groundwater, and tight rules prohibiting use of such fracking fluids, as well as a growing demand for alternatives, are limiting the worldwide fracking fluid and chemicals market’s growth. For example, Halliburton Company has begun producing organic drill muds from guar gum in order to diversify its product line and comply with the US EPA’s strict restrictions prohibiting the use of harmful fracking chemicals. Non-toxic drilling fluids, such as foam-based fluid (FBF), are also being developed as a replacement for hazardous oil-based fluid (OBF), which itself is hard to retrieve from the drill hole. During the projected period, these technological innovations are expected to offer lucrative growth possibilities for participants in the worldwide fracking chemicals market.

During the Forecasted Period, the North America Region Will Show Robust Growth

The fracking fluid and chemicals market, by geography, is divided into North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and South America. The North America region holds the largest share and is predicted to grow at an increasing rate in the fracking fluid and chemical market. The region’s drilling business is well-developed, the region’s demand for fracking chemicals is strong. The United States, in particular, is well drilling and exploration business and so controls a significant portion of the global market.

In terms of revenue, the Asia Pacific area is expected to expand the fastest throughout the projection period. Rising energy production and supply are likely to continue to be major drivers of market expansion. The majority of oil and gas exploration and production is currently concentrated in China, South Korea, Australia, and India.

The Impact of the Outbreak of COVID-19 on the Fracking Fuel and Chemicals Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the fracking fluid and chemical business, as upstream operations for oil and gas came to a standstill owing to reduced demands for oil and gas, resulting in low commodities prices. In the United States, for example, the cost of WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil has dropped to USD 14 per barrel, down from USD 63 per barrel at the start of the year. The fracking method is extremely expensive, thus it was not feasible in a circumstance where they only had a few projects.
