North America Demulsifier Market Size will Reach $978.23 Million in 2023

North America Demulsifier Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, North America demulsifier market size will reach $978.23 million in 2023 and is expected to grow to $1345.31 million by 2028. By application, the crude oil segment occupied the biggest share in 2022.

As a class of specialty chemicals, demulsifiers are used to separate emulsions. They are commonly used in the processing of crude oil, which is typically produced along with significant quantities of saline water. Demulsifiers are surface-active agents that act to neutralize the effect of emulsifying agents and act on the emulsion by flocculation of oil droplets, dropping of water, and coalescence of the water droplets.Additionally, demulsifiers are used in the chemical analysis of oil and synthetic muds and hydrocarbon treatments.

The Demand for Demulsifiers is Increasing.

Petroleum products are important strategic resources and important factors affecting economic growth. The oil and gas industry chain includes crude oil extraction, refining, sales of refined oil products, reprocessing of petrochemical products, and the natural gas industry, playing an important role in the national economy. There are many types of petroleum products and they intersect with other chemical chains. The oil industry is an important strategic pillar industry. Demulsifiers play an important role in the petroleum industry. Crude oil forms stable and complex emulsions with natural active media and a large number of surface-active substances in the driving fluid during the extraction process.Demulsifiers can eliminate the stable factors in the original emulsion, and promote emulsion aggregation, coalescence, stratification, and demulsification. As North America, especially the United States, has been working to increase domestic energy production and hopes to gradually reduce its dependence on Middle East energy supplies, the demand for demulsifiers will increase.

Market Drivers and Limitations

Global oil demand is thriving. The remarkable growth of shale gas has not only changed the energy landscape in the US but also in the world. Large reserves of unconventional hydrocarbon reserves in the form of shale gas, tight oil, and oil sands will drive the demulsifiers market.

For the chemical industry, environmental protection is a very important issue. In the use of demulsifiers, since most demulsifiers are formulated with chemical agents, the discharge water is liable to cause secondary pollution. The demulsifier processing condition is complex, and certain pollutants will also be produced during the production process. Without effective treatments, it will not only destroy the ecological environment but also endanger people\'s health. As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, the production of demulsifiers will also be subject to stricter supervision.

Drivers	Increasing oil & gas production
Limitations	Strict environmental regulations
	Price fluctuations in raw materials
