Drag-reducing additives (DRA), or drag-reducing polymers (DRP's), are additives in pipelines that reduce turbulence in a pipe. Usually used in petroleum pipelines, they increase the pipeline capacity by reducing turbulency and increasing laminar flow.
The global Drag Reducing Additives (DRA) market was valued at US$ 773 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 986 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Global Drag Reducing Additives (DRA) key players include LiquidPower Specialty Products, Flowchem, Baker Hughes, Innospec, Sino Oil King Shine Chemical, etc. Global top three players hold a share about 50%. The Drag Reducing Additives (DRA) are mainly produced in China and North America, these regions are dominating the global market, hold a market share about 90 percent.
The global Drag Reducing Additives (DRA) market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the increasing need for optimizing fluid flow in pipelines and improving energy efficiency across industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and water management. DRAs, also known as flow improvers, are widely used in pipelines to reduce friction and turbulence, allowing for the smoother and more efficient transportation of liquids like crude oil, refined fuels, and water. In the oil and gas industry, the expansion of pipeline networks and the need to maximize throughput without costly infrastructure upgrades have fueled demand for DRAs, particularly in regions like North America, where unconventional oil extraction is booming. Additionally, growing concerns over energy conservation and reducing operational costs are pushing companies to adopt DRA technology for more sustainable operations.
Beyond the oil and gas sector, the use of DRAs is expanding into other areas such as water treatment, irrigation systems, and chemical processing. In regions facing water scarcity, DRAs are increasingly being used to improve water flow in pipelines and reduce pumping costs, helping to enhance the efficiency of water distribution networks. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to experience strong market growth due to its rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the expansion of its oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. Advancements in DRA formulations, including the development of environmentally friendly and biodegradable additives, are also contributing to the market鈥檚 expansion by meeting regulatory requirements and addressing environmental concerns. As industries continue to prioritize energy efficiency and cost reduction, the global DRA market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years.
