Fluid Loss Additives Market Trends & Forecast:

The fluid loss additives market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% to reach a market size of US$464.234 million by 2030 from US$390.808 million in 2025, according to a new report by Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence.

The fluid loss additives market is driven by oilfield exploration and technological innovation, with opportunities in bio-based additives and emerging markets. In January 2025, Halliburton announced a contract award from Petrobras for integrated drilling services across several offshore fields in Brazil. The contract scope includes drilling services for development and exploration wells over a three-year period.

Further, in August 2024, AES Drilling Fluids announced the acquisition of HydroLite Operating LLC. HydroLite specializes in fluid systems for well drill-outs and cleanouts post-fracking. They offer fluid systems, management, and equipment for low-pressure/high-porosity and high-pressure reservoirs. This would significantly complement AES Drilling Fluids and would expand its service offerings. In September 2024, Newpark Resources, Inc. announced that it had completed the sale of the Company’s equity interests in substantially all of the Company’s Fluid Systems segment to SCF Partners, Inc.

The fluid loss additives are critical for well integrity during oilfield cementing processes. In December 2024, SLB announced that it had a new contract from Petrobras for integrated services across all offshore fields operated by Petrobras in Brazil. SLB would take the construction of more than 100 deepwater wells, utilizing advanced drilling, cementing, and drilling fluids technologies on up to nine ultra-deepwater rigs. The services would be delivered to Campos, Santos, and Espírito Santo Basins, with other Petrobras-operated fields, including exploratory wells. Operations in the Equatorial Margin were also planned, pending exploration license approval within the three-year contract period commencing April 2025.

The innovative solution is further boosting the market. In May 2024, Halliburton Company added the SentinelCem Pro cement system. The single-sack packaging enables proactive storage in offshore and remote locations. SentinelCem Pro cement simplifies mixing operations as it eliminates the need for pre-hydration of the slurry design. This feature facilitates more efficient rig operations.
