The Barite Market is Expected to Reach USD 2,317.0 Million by 2034 | Future Market Insights, Inc.

The barite market in the United States is projected to expand at a CAGR of 2.50% during the forecast period. As the world’s largest consumer of barite, the United States utilizes nearly 90% of its barite supply as a weighting agent in fluids used for oil and natural gas well drilling. This significant demand is driven by the country’s extensive drilling activities in the energy sector.

NEWARK, Del., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The barite market is estimated to be worth USD 1,582.2 million in 2024 and is projected to be valued at USD 2,317.0 million in 2034. Between 2024 and 2034, the industry is expected to register a CAGR of 3.90%.

The oil and gas sector is the main source of barite demand. Drilling fluids used in the production and exploration of oil and gas must contain barite. The need for barite for drilling operations is predicted to increase as the world’s energy consumption keeps rising and exploration efforts focus on more difficult regions.

The demand for building materials, such as concrete with barite added, is rising due to the rise in infrastructure development projects worldwide, especially in emerging economies. These projects include roads, bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure projects.
