The global perforating gun market is projected to reach $898.7 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.71%, from 2017 to 2022. The North American market is estimated to be the largest for perforating guns, followed by Asia Pacific in 2017.
The increase in oil & gas production, increased shale exploration, growing complexity of reservoir conditions, and increase in average well depth over the years are the major drivers of the perforating gun market. The increase in demand for oil and scarcity of supply due to a drop in oil production by OPEC and non-OPEC countries to stabilize oil prices has led to investments in the upstream oil & gas activities. The major oil & gas companies see the increasing demand as an opportunity for their upstream businesses, which will ultimately drive the perforating gun market.

The perforating gun market is mainly driven by the increase in the average well depth over the years. The conventional oil & gas reservoirs are depleting. The new reservoirs are found deep below the earth’s surface. The various methods such as reperforation, drilling of unconventional oil wells, and increasing oil production in hostile reservoir environments with the help of advanced technologies are carried out to meet the oil & gas demand. Thus, the need for technically efficient and advanced perforating guns is increasing to meet the requirements of drilling operators.
North America is expected to be the fastest growing perforating gun market
The market in North America is expected to be the fastest-growing market for perforating guns, closely followed by the Middle East. The US, Canadian, and Mexican governments are looking to invest heavily in the upstream oil & gas industry to reduce imports and move toward self-sustainability. North America is projected to dominate the global perforating gun market by 2022 due to increasing oil & gas activities in the region. The market in North America is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022. This growth is attributed to increased investments in the upstream oil & gas sector, especially in the US. This will ultimately create an opportunity for the perforating gun market.
Increasing shale gas exploration and production will drive the global perforating gun demand close to $879 million by 2022
Perforating guns are designed to hold an array of explosive charges and are lowered into the well to the depth where the connection to the reservoir is made. The gun is then fired to make multiple holes in the casing. The multiple fractures made by the perforating gun act as channels through which reservoir fluids, in the form of hydrocarbons, flow from the formation into the wellbore and up to the surface.
