Friction Reducers Market Trends & Forecast to 2019
Friction Reducers are typically latex polymers or copolymers of acryl amides. They are used in fracking fluids application to minimize the undesirable friction within the injection well and the fracture. The other application of friction reducer is oil additives wherein they allow extension of mechanical life of the automobile engines by reducing the metal to metal wear.
North America is anticipated to show impressive demand for friction reducers with U.S. being its growth engine. Owing to the boost in the hydraulic fracturing of the shale oil & gas reserves, North America is the largest consumer of friction reducer. The Presence of shale gas reserves and significant automobile giants in countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Australia is facilitating the growth of Asia-Pacific region. Huge potential lies in Latin America region for friction reducers with the development of fracking infrastructure contributing to market growth.
