Global Brine Fluids Market By Application (Oil & Gas, Medicinal, Others) By Geography - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

The Global Brine Fluids market has witnessed rapid growth in recent years and this trend is estimated to continue in coming years as well. Brine fluid is basically a solution of salt and water. It is used as a preservative for food products through the process of brining. Brine contains a very high salt content which prevents the growth of bacteria and thus help preserve the food items. It also has industrial applications in medical and oil and gas industry.

Sodium chloride is the primary salt used for preparation of brine fluids. Apart from sodium chloride, brine fluids can also be prepared using potassium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium bromide, calcium bromide, and sodium bromide. Brine is a low cost solution and acts as an excellent food preservative and pre-wetting agent. It is also a very good cooling agent. These features are leading to an increasing demand for brine in various end-use applications.

The global brine fluids market is witnessing growth owing to the increasing consumption in the regions of North America and Asia-Pacific. Manufacturers are investing heavily in expansions and mergers & acquisitions in order to enhance their market share and revenue as well as to fulfill the increasing demand for brine in various end-use applications. North America leads the global brine fluids market with a market share of 50% in 2014.

Almost 85% of the total brine demand was from the oil and gas application in 2014. The medical industry is seen as the fastest-growing end-use segment in coming years owing to the increasing demand for medical services globally.

Brine fluid is basically a solution of salt and water. Brine contains a very high salt content which prevents the growth of bacteria and thus help preserve the food items. It also has industrial applications in medical and oil and gas industry. Apart from sodium chloride, brine fluids can also be prepared through salts including potassium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium bromide, calcium bromide, and sodium bromide.

The global brine fluids market is progressing owing to the extensive drilling activities and rising demand from other end-user markets. It is preferred by several industries as it is a low cost solution and acts as excellent food preservative and pre-wetting agent. It is also a very good cooling agent. The key market players are increasingly focusing on offering the best implementation and aftersales services in order to gain a competitive advantage in the global brine fluids market.

The global brine market, by application is projected to reach $1,037.6 million by 2019 from $779.8 million in 2014, registering a CAGR of 5.9% between 2014 and 2019. Extensive drilling activities, increasing demand for conventional and non-conventional natural resources, and rising demand from other end-use markets are some of the key factors driving the market growth. On the other hand, stringent government regulations may restrain the market growth in coming years.

Based on applications, the brine market is segmented into oil and gas, medical, and other applications. Oil and gas application segment holds the maximum share of the brine market, in terms of value. Its value was $657.2 million in 2014 and is projected to reach to $851.6 million in 2019, with a CAGR of 5.3%. The medical application is projected to witness a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period.

North America holds the largest share of the global brine market. The share of NA in terms of value was $405.0 million in 2014 and is projected to reach to $491.9 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 4.0%. The CAGR for Asia-Pacific region is expected to be 8.5%.

The key participants operating in the global brine market are Israel Chemicals Limited (Israel), Albemarle Corporation (U.S.), Chemtura Corporation (U.S.), Jordan Bromine Company (Jordan), Dow Chemicals (U.S.), Halliburton (U.S.), M-I SWACO (U.S.), Hindustan Salts Ltd.
