    Market Insights

    Seals are the crucial components used in the oil & gas industry for different processes such as drilling, completion, production, and distribution & refinery. They are critical for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the aforementioned processes. During oil & gas extraction, seals are required to withstand challenging conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, rapid gas decompression, explosive decompression, aggressive chemicals, and highly abrasive and corrosive environments. Hence, for reliability, these seals need to undergo various tests including a rapid gas decompression test, explosive decompression test, and sour test, among others. Materials used for manufacturing seals must be compliant with the industry standards such as ISO, NORSOK, and API.

    The Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on industries. The oil & gas seals market was no exception, suffering a severe setback as a result of supply chain disruption, lockdowns, and a global shrinking economy. Global lockdown and Covid-related restrictions severely reduced the demand for crude oil & gas, which forced several companies to reduce their production. Furthermore, various production sites have been shut down, which reduced the demand for seals by the oil & gas industry. As a result of these factors, the oil & gas seals market recorded a massive decline in 2020.

    However, the years 2021 and 2022 proved to be extremely dynamic for the industry stakeholders with the price of crude oil soaring to new heights amid the Russia-Ukraine war. This is also impacting the overall market dynamics of the oil & gas seals market. Primary interviews with the market stakeholders suggest healthy long-term growth in the demand for seals for oil & gas applications.

    As a result, Stratview Research anticipated that the market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 7.8% over the next five years to reach a value of US$ 4.4 Billion in 2027. This growth is likely to be driven by the increasing oil & gas demand, increasing well-drilling activities, speedy recovery in worldwide rig counts, and advancements in sealing products to meet the challenging environments.

    Segment Analysis

    Based on the shore type, the oil & gas seals market is segmented as offshore and onshore. Offshore is expected to remain the larger and faster-growing segment of the market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing offshore oil & gas production, surge in offshore rig counts, and large offshore oil production platforms, and FPSOs requiring a large number of seals.

    Based on the application type, the market is segmented as drilling, completion, production, and distribution & refinery. Production is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing segment of the oil & gas seals market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the usage of seals in various application areas such as blow-out preventers (BOPs), connector seals, downhole and intervention tools, flow control equipment (ball valves and associated devices), FPSO swivels, gas lifts, and offshore topside hydraulics. All other application types are also estimated to generate sizeable growth opportunities in the coming five years.

    Based on the product type, the market is segmented as O-rings, energized seals, U-cup seals, mechanical seals, backup rings, and others. Mechanical seals are expected to remain the most demanded product type in the market during the forecast period. Mechanical seals are widely used to prevent fluid leaks and contaminants out of the shaft in pumps, mixers, or agitators as they provide superior properties to other sealing products, making them suitable for critical sealing applications.

    Based on the motion type, the market is segmented into static seals, linear seals, and rotary seals. Rotary seals are expected to remain the dominant category during the forecast period. The usage of rotary seals in equipment like pumps, mixers, rotary shafts, and various rotating equipment is to keep the lubricant within the system and prevent the ingress of external agents. These seals protect the bearing and other parts of the equipment.

    In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest region in the market for oil & gas seals during the forecast period, whereas Asia-Pacific is estimated to remain the fastest-growing market during the same period. The USA is expected to remain the largest market in North America as well as in the global marketplace as it is the largest producer of shell gas & oil and has a large number of onshore and offshore oil production projects, whereas China is likely to remain the fastest-growing market globally in the coming years due to an increase in the number of oil & gas rigs and the opening of new production platforms.

    Key Players

     

    The market is gradually consolidating as the major companies are performing mergers & acquisitions to quickly gain the leading position in the market. For instance; in Feb 2019, Saint-Gobain S.A. strengthened its high-performance solution portfolio by acquiring American Seal and Engineering Co. Inc, the latter supplies seals for various industries including oil & gas.

    The supply chain of this market comprises raw material suppliers, oil & gas seal manufacturers, distributors, component manufacturers, and end-users. The following are the key oil & gas seals manufacturers (arranged alphabetically).

    • EnPro Industries Inc.
