Consumption Analysis of Barytes (2017-2021) Vs. Industry Outlook (2022-2032)

Latest market analysis by Fact.MR, a global market research and competitive intelligence provider, states that the market value for barytes powder over the past half-decade increased at 2.7% CAGR. Barite consumption in oil & gas drilling accounts for the highest market share, which is mainly attributed to the fine properties of baryte in comparison to other minerals.

Baryte, which is rich in several properties, is gaining popularity to cater to a wide range of applications across industries. Barite is a different form of mineral, which is a combination of barium and sulphate, and is one of the most easily available and economical minerals across the world. The composition of this mineral is 58.8% barium and 41.2% sulphate, with a specific gravity of 4.5, making it light in weight.

Over the period of 2022-2032, the global market for barytes powder is predicted to expand at a CAGR of around 3.7%.

What are the Demand Drivers for Barytes Over the Forecast Period?

“Barytes – Economical and Beneficial Mineral for Several End-use Sectors”

Baryte is one of the finest and most economical minerals available worldwide, having a plethora of benefits across many industries such as oil & gas drilling, chemicals, plastics, etc.

Extraction of oil is carried out in major countries of MEA, and baryte is the mineral that is used while drilling as it helps avoid blow-ups during the drilling process. Baryte acts as a fine weighing agent increasing the density of drilling fluids; it confines the high pressure that is created due to oil, gas, and water that is liberated while drilling.

“Potential Use of Baryte in Healthcare Sector”

When barite comes in contact with iodine, it creates certain reactions that can help obstruct radiation in diagnostic trials and tests. This creates a gateway for baryte manufacturers to enter the medical sector and explore further opportunities.

“High Grade of Purity of Barytes Leading to Several Applications”

Barytes also has non-drilling applications; the fine particles of these minerals can be used as fillers in industrial and marine paints due to their physical properties and high grade of purity. It can also be used in the plastic industry and in brake lining materials.

Country-Wise Analysis

Why Does the U.S. Account for High Consumption of Barytes in North America?

Majority of barite deposits are found in Georgia, Nevada, and Missouri. As the U.S. stands as one of the market leaders in oil & gas drilling, the use of this material is also high.

The O&G industry uses bulk of the baryte mined as a weighing component in the formulation of drilling mud. Baryte raises the drilling mud's hydrostatic force, permitting it to balance for high-pressure zones undergone while drilling. Barytes' softness also shields it from damaging drilling tools and permits it to act as a lubricant while drilling.

In the North American region, particularly in the U.S., Y-o-Y growth in 2022-2023 is anticipated to be 3.3% in comparison with the 1.8% in previous years. Another reason for this expected growth is the medical sector where this mineral has huge potential to obstruct harmful radiations emitted during diagnosis.

Also, further applications are seen in the gastrointestinal tract; the density of the mineral prevents X-rays from penetrating through the tract and are obstructed due to the density of barite, with the tract being clearly visible in the reports.

As such, the U.S. barytes market is projected to stand at US$ 549.4 Mn by the end of 2032, with a market share of 91.3% in North America.

Can the Middle East Be a High Potential Market Manufacturers of Barytes?

Due to its 30% share in world oil production, the Middle East has a large share in the barytes market. Countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, and Kuwait are the world's biggest oil-producing nations. One-third of the world's total oil production is produced in the Middle East, which was around 25.98 million barrels per day in 2020.

Middle Eastern crude oil production increased by 26.55 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2021, indicating an increased need for baryte.

In 2021, global oil demand was approximately 96.5 million barrels per day. This is projected to boost production from Middle Eastern countries' oil and gas industries, resulting in an increase in baryte consumption in the region.

Attributed to these discussed factors, barytes market value in Saudi Arabia is projected to stand at US$ 12.6 Mn by the end of 2032, with a market share of 18.3% in the MEA region.

Which Sector Will Account for a Vital Chunk of Baryte Consumption?

The O&G industry accounts for roughly 69.1% of global demand for barytes.

Given the importance of petroleum products in transportation and industrial end-use sectors, global demand for barite will persist until petroleum products are selected as the preliminary source of energy.

Baryte is insoluble in water, non-corrosive, inert, non-abrasive, and has high specific gravity, which allows it to be used as a weighting agent in drilling operations to remove cutting from bits, transport cutting to the surface to reduce friction in the drilling string, provide lubrication, control pressure, and prevent blow-outs. The O&G industry's future expansion implies that petroleum exploration will continue to expand, as will baryte consumption.

Daily worldwide demand for crude oil (including biofuels) was 99.7 million barrels per day in 2019. Due to the lockup and mobility consequences of COVID-19, this value declined to 91 million barrels per day in 2020, and increased to more than 96.5 million barrels per day in 2021. As a result, market expansion is likely to drive demand for barytes around the world over the forecast period.

The oil & gas sector is projected to provide a high value worth US$ 1.65 Bn over the forecast period of 2022-2032.
