The market size of composites in oil & gas industry is projected to reach USD 1.98 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.05% between 2016 and 2021. The increasing demand for non-corrosive and lightweight materials in the oil & gas industry and low maintenance cost of composites are the key drivers of the global composites in oil & gas industry market.

The global composites in oil and gas industry market is segmented based on fiber type, resin type, application, and region. The prepreg market, by fiber type is further segment into glass fiber and carbon fiber. Glass fiber-based oil & gas composites had the largest market size, in terms of value, owing to growing demand from frac plugs, frac balls, walkways, ladders, handrails, tanks, and others.

The market by resin type is segmented into epoxy, polyester, phenolic, and others. The epoxy resin-based oil & gas composites is expected to grow faster during the forecast period due to tremendous boom of the hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas from shale gas deposits, leading to increased use of epoxy resins-based bridge plugs, frac plugs, frac balls, pipes, and others.

The major applications included in composites in oil and gas industry market include pipes, tanks, top side applications, and others. Applications such as frac plugs, frac balls, flexible tubes, and composite riders in the market is projected to be the fastest-growing application between 2016 and 2021. This is because with the new innovations in the exploration and production activities of the oil & gas industry, there is an increasing demand for improved hydraulic fracturing methods, thereby increasing the demand of composite products to meet the harsh and aggressive environment conditions.

Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of both value and volume, between 2016 and 2021.
