Blowout Preventer Market Report 2026

The blowout preventer market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $35.73 billion in 2025 to $37.51 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to offshore drilling incidents, regulatory safety mandates, deepwater exploration growth, equipment standardization, risk mitigation requirements.

The blowout preventer market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ultra-deepwater drilling projects, automation in well control, stricter safety compliance, investment in preventive technologies, offshore energy development. Major trends in the forecast period include digitally controlled bop systems, enhanced safety and redundancy designs, deepwater blowout prevention solutions, predictive maintenance integration, modular bop configurations.

The growing demand for offshore and deepwater exploration activities is anticipated to drive the expansion of the blowout preventers market. Offshore and deepwater exploration involves locating and evaluating underwater oil and gas reserves beneath the ocean floor. This surge in exploration is fueled by the rising global energy needs, which compel energy companies to access more challenging, deep-sea reserves. Blowout preventers play a crucial role in these operations by delivering vital pressure control and emergency shutoff capabilities, thus ensuring safety in high-risk and deepwater drilling scenarios. For example, in March 2025, the Global Energy Monitor, a US-based non-governmental organization, reported that 19 offshore projects began production in 2024, accounting for 71% (around 6.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent) of the year’s newly active reserves. Consequently, the rising offshore and deepwater exploration activities are accelerating the demand for blowout preventers.

Leading companies in the blowout preventers market are developing innovative products featuring hydraulic automatic locking mechanisms to improve safety, reduce maintenance duration, and ensure reliable pressure management in hazardous drilling environments. These hydraulic automatic locking systems utilize hydraulic pressure to automatically engage and secure essential components, eliminating the need for manual operation. For instance, in August 2024, INTLEF Oil and Gas Group Co. Ltd., a China-based oil and gas equipment manufacturer, introduced the QL-type new-generation blowout preventer. This model features a boltless bonnet composite structure that allows for fast opening and closing without bolts, significantly cutting down maintenance time. The hydraulic locking mechanism provides a tight seal under high-pressure conditions and can be operated remotely, enhancing worker safety. The design also improves structural durability and leak prevention, making it particularly suited for demanding drilling operations.

In December 2023, Meyer Oilfield Services Inc., a US-based oil and gas equipment manufacturer, acquired Fabritech Manufacture and Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition aims to expand Meyer’s well control solution portfolio by incorporating Fabritech’s advanced capabilities in blowout preventer production. Notably, Fabritech specializes in manufacturing annular and ram BOPs that meet the American Petroleum Institute’s API 16A standards. Fabritech Manufacture and Solutions Inc., also based in the US, focuses on blowout preventer solutions including manufacturing, API monogramming, remanufacturing, and custom engineering for the oil and gas industry.
