Demulsifier Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Demulsifiers, or emulsion breakers, are a class of specialty chemical that is used to separate emulsions. Demulsifiers are majorly used in the processing of crude oil, along with significant quantities of saline water. These are surface-active agents, which is used 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. The factors that are driving the market is the rising demand for oil and related derivatives necessitates the high production of crude oil. However, strict environmental regulation on the use of chemical demulsifiers is expected to hinder the growth of the market in the forecasted period.

Based on type, the global demulsifier market is bifurcated into oil soluble and water soluble. Currently oil soluble category dominates the market and expected to grow at an influential rate in the forecasted period as well. It is mainly owing to the increasing demand for this type of demulsifier in emulsion breaking. As oil soluble demulsifiers are extremely effective in separating water in oil emulsion, as the water is in the dispersed phase, while oil is in the continuous phase.

Based on application, the market is segmented into crude oil, petro refineries, lubricant manufacturing, oil-based power plants, sludge oil treatment and others. The crude oil category witnesses significant demand post covid-19. It is mainly owing to the surging demand for petroleum and petroleum products coupled with discoveries of new oil fields and crude oil reserves expected to positively influence the market demand for demulsifier.

For better understanding of the market, the report provides detail analysis for major region and country including North America (US, Canada, rest of North America); Europe (Germany, UK, France, Spain, rest of Europe); Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific) and Rest of World. Currently North America dominated the market and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. However, Middle East & Africais expected to witness highest CAGR growth during the forecast period.
