Technavio analyzes that the Oil and Gas Downstream Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.93% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 179.09 billion.There are various factors that contribute to the growth of the market. The global energy landscape is witnessing a significant surge in demand, with the oil and gas downstream sector playing a pivotal role in meeting this growing need. This sector encompasses activities such as refining, petrochemicals, and natural gas processing, which are essential for transforming raw hydrocarbons into finished products for various industries and end-users. As the world's population and economies continue to expand, the demand for energy and its derived products is expected to increase, creating ample opportunities for the oil and gas downstream market.
Refineries play a crucial role in the oil and gas downstream market by converting crude petroleum into a range of valuable products. These include diesel, gasoline, LPG, and other petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants, and specialty fuels. Two primary types of refineries exist: atmospheric distillation and complex, or integrated. Atmospheric distillation refineries utilize fractional distillation to separate crude oil into its primary components, forming the foundation of the downstream sector. Simultaneously, complex refineries enhance the yield of high-value products and minimize waste through secondary processes beyond basic distillation. Both types are indispensable in supplying essential fuels for transportation, heating, and industrial applications.
