Swellable packer is an isolation device that relies on elastomers to expand and form an annular seal when immersed in certain wellbore fluids. Elastomers used in these packers are either oil- or water-sensitive. Their expansion rates and pressure ratings are affected by a variety of factors. For instance, oil-activated elastomers work on the principle of dissolution and absorption and are affected by concentration, fluid temperature, as well as the specific gravity of the hydrocarbons in a fluid.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 impact:

The global market for swellable packers is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns. 

Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.

Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of swellable packers, which negatively impact the market growth.

However, this situation is expected to improve as government has started relaxing norms around the world for resuming business activities.

Regional analysis

The global swellable packers market is studied across major four regional markets including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. North America is expected to be the largest market over the coming years in response to the rise in unconventional oil and gas drilling activities such as shale oil and tight gas and offshore E&P activities in the region. In addition to this, the recovery of global crude oil prices benefits improved profitability for upstream oil and gas companies which will increase the number of oil and gas E&P and this is further expected to complement the growth of this region.
