The crude oil market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3655.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the evolution of transportation, the expansion of the petrochemical industry, challenges in energy transition, global economic development, and geopolitical factors. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include resilience in oil markets amidst energy transitions, a shift in investment trends towards renewable energy, diversification in downstream operations, global initiatives for energy security and independence, and changes in consumer behavior impacting transportation demand.
The growth in the crude oil market can be attributed to the increasing global demand for fossil fuels, particularly in developing countries such as China and India, alongside the anticipated stabilization of oil and gas prices. Fossil fuels, derived from decomposed plants and animals, are found in the Earth's crust and consist of carbon and hydrogen that can be burned for energy. Crude oil or petroleum, a liquid fossil fuel primarily composed of hydrocarbons, can be found in underground reservoirs, sedimentary rock crevices, pores, or near the Earth's surface in tar sands. According to the International Energy Agency's February 2023 report, the global contribution of renewable energy in the power generation mix is projected to increase from 29% to 35% by 2025, emphasizing the ongoing growth in demand for fossil fuels to meet global energy needs.
The expected growth in the crude oil market is further propelled by an increase in geopolitical tensions. Geopolitical tensions, involving political conflicts, disputes, or rivalries among nations, can impact crude oil prices by raising concerns about potential disruptions in oil supply due to conflicts or instability in key oil-producing regions. In 2021, there were 37,185 reported events of political violence targeting civilians, representing a 12% increase from the previous year, as reported by The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). The rise in civilian fatalities by 8%, from 35,879 in 2020 to 38,658 in 2021, further highlights the impact of geopolitical tensions on the growth of the crude oil market.
Oil and gas extraction companies are increasingly adopting digital oilfield technology to enhance production efficiency. This technology includes advanced tools such as high-performance drill bits, electrical submersible pumps, and 3D seismic imaging for reservoir modeling. Digitization in oilfields optimizes human resource utilization, leading to a ten percentage point improvement in oil production profitability.
Major companies in the crude oil market are forming strategic partnerships to develop new products and strengthen their market positions. Collaborations and partnerships foster shared resources, expertise, and risk, promoting the development of innovative solutions and efficient operations. For example, in November 2023, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited collaborated with Aiteo Eastern E&P Company Limited to introduce a new crude grade named Nembe, aiming to boost Nigeria's oil production. This joint venture, managing and marketing the Nembe crude stream, addresses challenges such as crude theft and pipeline attacks while aligning with Nigeria's goal of increasing oil output for enhanced government revenue. Another instance involves Vencer Energy LLC's acquisition of Hunt Oil Company's Midland Basin assets in April 2021, marking a significant step toward creating a substantial platform in the Lower 48 States and achieving Vencer's objective of owning high-quality, mature, and producing assets with development potential. This acquisition represents Vencer's first since its establishment by Vitol the previous year. Hunt Oil Company is an independent oil and gas company based in the United States.
