Robotic Drilling Market Analysis
The robotic drilling market is expected to record a CAGR of over 7.1% during the forecast period (2022-2027). The COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted the oil and gas industry. The decreasing prices and demand for crude oil due to the pandemic significantly reduced various upstream projects in 2020, thus negatively impacting robotic drilling activities. Factors such as increased exploration activity and focus on the development of new oil and gas fields in a risk-free, cost-efficient, and time-efficient manner are expected to help drive the market for robotic drilling systems. However, the volatile nature of oil prices in recent years, cybersecurity concerns, and high initial costs hampered the growth of the robotic drilling market.
- The onshore is expected to have the maximum share in the market. Onshore drilling encompasses all the drilling sites located on dry land and accounts for 70% of worldwide oil production.
- The demand for oil and gas production has been increasing, leading to increased exploration activities. This factor is expected to help grow the market during the forecast period. Also, there has been an increasing demand for safe and time-efficient drilling methods, which may create a good opportunity for robotic drilling systems in the future.
North America is the biggest market for robotic drilling due to the increased drilling activity in shale plays in the region. The recent development of shale plays, horizontal drilling, and fracking resulted in increased demand for a faster and time-efficient robotic drilling system in the region.
