Global Drilling Rig Market by Type (Drill Ship Rigs, Jack-up Rigs, Land Rigs), Power Transmission (Electrical, Mechanical), Drilling Fluid, System, Application - Forecast 2024-2030

The Drilling Rig Market size was estimated at USD 9.63 billion in 2023, USD 10.28 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.21% to reach USD 15.69 billion by 2030.

A drilling rig is an integrated machine used to drill oil, gas, water wells, or holes for piling and other construction purposes beneath the earth's surface. The rig has derricks, drill bits, drill string, mud pumps, mud tanks, and power generation equipment. Drilling rigs can be massive equipment structures or small enough to be moved manually by one person called augers. Most drilling operations are complex, and the drilling industry uses drilling rig machinery to drill an oil and gas well to greater depths. The ever-rising demand for crude oil from manufacturing, transportation, and residential industries has resulted in the expansion and exploration of oil & gas mines, leading to higher adoption of drilling rigs to drill the new wells. However, some operational limitations associated with huge drilling rigs and the hazardous environmental impacts of mining operations limit the scope of the drilling rig market. The rising investments and funding activities to boost the deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects further create a lucrative landscape for drilling rigs to operate at these desired locations.

Regional Insights

The drilling rigs market in the Americas is growing, with the rising drilling activities for coal for electricity and a high potential for oil exploration across the region. The U.S., ??Canada, Mexico, and Brazil have announced plans to push forward their new offshore exploration drilling activities despite the region's gradual transformation to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The market players in the region are consistently working on developing advanced automated drilling rigs connected with AI, ML, and IoT to enable better operations in well-drilling, fracking, and oil exploration activities. Asia-Pacific countries are observing increased public and private investments in enhancing their oil & gas production, further providing potential for utilizing drilling rigs. The region portrays a high need for well-drilling rigs, and regional companies are expanding their product portfolio to include high-performing products that meet the rising demand for offshore and well-drilling. Recent environmentally enforced closures and capacity cuts have consolidated the European oil & gas exploration industry, encouraging mining companies to cut costs and become environmentally friendly. These sustainability measures in the region have led the market players to expand the provision of energy-efficient drilling rigs. The Middle East region seeks to develop unconventional hydrocarbon/oil & gas production.
