Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market - Trends and Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Transparency Market Research Reports included a detailed market survey and analysis trends on “Fracking Chemicals and Fluids Market”. This report also includes more info about basic overview of the industry including definitions, applications and global market industry structure.

Fracking chemicals and fluids are a range of chemicals and solutions which are used in the hydraulic fracturing of rock by a pressurized fluid. They are classified on the basis of horizontal and vertical products. Various types of fluids are used in the process such as water-based, foam-based, and gelled oil based products. In terms of chemicals, certain solutions such as corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, surfactants and friction reducers are applied in the process of fracking. The market has been witnessing a positive growth, due to the continued development of unconventional sources of oil and gas, coupled with the growing demand for energy security in many countries.


The market for fracking fluids and chemicals has been experiencing noticeable growth on account of the changing trends in drilling from vertical to horizontal as more unconventional reserves are being tapped. Resources such as shale gas require significant amount of horizontal drilling to cover a large surface area, increasing the rate of production of gas which in turn is expected to boost the demand for fracking fluids in horizontal drilling applications. However, fracking has been facing a lot of oppositions due to environmental hazards caused by fracturing which in turned is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Focus on conducting extensive R&D activities to manufacture improved chemicals and fluids which are eco-friendly in nature are expected to provide new opportunities for the growth of the market.

North America was the largest consumer for the fracking chemicals and fluids market mainly due to advanced technology available to drill and recover gas and oil from unconventional resources. Other regions such as Asia Pacific are expected to witness significant growth owing to growing number of industrial activities in the region. 

AkzoNobel, Albermarle, Ashland, Baker Huges, Calfrac Well Services, , Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, Dow Chemical Company, DuPont, FTS International, Trican Well Services, Solvay are some of the major manufacturers of fracking fluids and chemicals dominating the market.

Mica Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

Mica Market
Mica is a shiny silicate mineral material having a layered structure. It occurs in the form of infinitesimal in rocks, granite or as crystals. The most salient characteristic of mica is that it has close basal cleavage. This property can be explained by its atomic arrangement in hexagonal sheet form. Mica is extensively distributed and occurs in metamorphic, sedimentary, igneous and regimes. Owing to its crystalline and other properties mica finds application in various fields.

The mica has four major types namely; block mica, sheet mica, ground mica and built-up mica. These products have high demand from industries such as cosmetics, paints & rubber, construction materials, paints & coatings, plastics and others. Regions such as North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW showed great demand for mica in various applications and the demand is expected to grow further.


Mica market is expected to grow further with the growing electronics industry. The electronic devices utilize mica in the form of film as well as in other forms. Other driving factors are growing plastic and cosmetics industry. Mica has become significant ingredient for mineral make-up in cosmetic industry. However extensive contact of mica may cause lung disease and inflammation hence, it can restrict the market in some applications. Use of mica in robotics can be one of the future trends.

Santa Fe Gold Corporation, Cogebi N.V., BASF Catalysts LLC, Gunpatroy Private Limited, Franklin Industrial Minerals Co, Mica Manufacturing Co. Pvt. Ltd, Daruka Minerals, Cleveland Mica Company and Asheville-Schoonmaker Mica Company are some of the key players in this market.
