Latest News- Barite Market: Powder is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

The Barite Market is being driven by Increase in oil and gas drilling activities

The Barite Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 370.2 million. The Middle Eastern oil and gas industry's increasing reliance on barite as a weighting agent in drilling fluids is a significant development in the global barite market. This trend is primarily driven by the region's aggressive expansion in upstream exploration and drilling activities, particularly in deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects in countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. Strategic investments aimed at enhancing crude oil and natural gas production further fuel this trend, making the Middle East a major consumer and a growing contributor to global barite demand.
