South Asia and East Asia Continue to be Lucrative

According to the study, new oil and gas drilling projects in Asia are fuelling demand for drilling fluids, which in turn, is creating sustained opportunities for stakeholders across the potassium formate value chain. Potassium formate is gaining traction in oil & gas sector, owing to its favorable properties and environmental feasibility. South Asia and East Asia collectively accounted for over 26% of the global potassium formate market current, and the authors of the report do not see the status quo changing anytime soon. The broader push by governments in the region, and over-reliance on oil economy is likely to create sustained opportunities for potassium formate market players throughout the forecast period.

Drilling Fluid Likely to Remain a Key Application

The potassium formate market has been segmented on the basis of form, application, and region.

• Brine (liquid) form of potassium formate accounted for major share of overall potassium formate demand, in 2018. Easy handling and storage of brines and its ease of use due to its liquid form, can be attributed to its large share in the overall potassium formate market
• Drilling fluid application is projected to lead the application segment of the potassium formate market. Potassium formate is used in drilling fluids and is being more popular due to its compatibility and favorable properties. Traditional salts are being replaced by potassium formate in various applications including drilling fluid application.
• North America and Europe led the demand for potassium formate market in 2018. Presence of large oil & gas industry and also more snow falling countries in these regions, is attributed for its larger share. However, the growth is expected from Asian countries during the forecast period.
