U.S. market for fracking fluids to reach nearly $37.3 billion by 2018

Hydraulic fracturing has changed the global energy landscape for the world and in particular the United States. The process, which relies on fracking fluids, has enabled shale gas and tight oil to become two of the fastest growing segments in North America. Factors strongly driving demand include recycling of fracking fluids and the establishment of new water supply channels and substitutes for water during the fracking process. Consequently, heightened social awareness of fracking techniques and greater scrutiny of fracking by the Environmental Protection Agency are expected to significantly impact this market.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the U.S. market for fracking fluids through its report The U.S. Market for Fracking Fluids. According to the report, this market was valued at $18.4 billion in 2012 and is estimated at $26 billion for 2013. BCC Research projects the market to grow to nearly $37.3 billion by 2018, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate of 7.4% from 2013 to 2018.
