The global Water well drilling services market was valued at $2,833.3 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $3,900.6 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2027.
Water well drilling services are involved in the process of offering the service of drilling a hole in the ground to make a water well or borewell in order to extract groundwater for various applications including residential use, irrigation, industries, commercial use, and others. There are different types of water well drilling methods that includes a rotary method, jetting method, cable tool method, auger drilling method, and others. Water well drilling can be done either mechanically or manually and the characteristics of equipment differ from simple & cheap to very sophisticated. Increasing demand for water well across the globe fuels the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising use of water well for irrigation purposes across the globe further fuels the growth of the water well drilling market. However, the scarcity of underground water is expected to hamper the growth of the water well drilling services market.
Furthermore, rapid industrialization and a rising preference for underground water over surface water are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth, in terms of value sales, during the forecast period. The population of the globe is currently estimated to be 7.7 billion people, and by 2050, that number is predicted to increase to 9.8 billion. Due to the increase in population, there is an increased need for water, particularly at the home level for drinking, sanitation, drainage, and other uses.
Global demand for water wells has surged as a result of this. Given that there is a plentiful quantity of groundwater available for residential use, the usage of water from wells and boreholes is significant. The need for water wells has risen as a result, which is fueling the market expansion for water well drilling services in terms of value sales.
Water is artificially delivered to the soil by a variety of pump, tube, and spraying methods. It is typically employed in regions where there is an expected drought or irregular rainfall. Groundwater is frequently used for irrigation all around the world. Around 70% of the groundwater extracted for human consumption worldwide is used by agriculture. Due to this, there is now more demand for irrigation water wells or borewells, which drives market expansion in terms of value sales. Additionally, groundwater has advantages that have expanded the use of water wells and borewells for irrigation, including crop intensification and diversification, on-demand irrigation, high water productivity, production security during protracted dry spells, and others. This in turn encourages the market for water well drilling services to expand.
A service product or service process that is based on a technological or methodical approach is referred to as a service innovation. Innovation in services, on the other hand, often occurs in non-technological sectors and is not just tied to the uniqueness of the technology itself. For instance, the advanced technique of drilling sonic water wells involves high-frequency resonant energy. Another advantage of the dual tube flooded reverse circulation method is that it can drill in difficult terrain, has faster penetration rates, and straighter holes, and does not require a big compressor because the lower drive is hydraulic. Therefore, in terms of value sales, this development fuels the expansion of the market for water well drilling services.
However, natural resources, including groundwater, are steadily deteriorating due to population increase and fast urbanization. The most prevalent cause of groundwater depletion is the repeated pumping of groundwater which causes a shortage. Additionally, it is frequently extracted by building and running extraction wells for use in municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications. As a result, it is predicted that over the projection period, the market for water well drilling services would grow more slowly in terms of value sales.
On the other hand, water is essential for processing, cooling, and waste product disposal in the industrial sector. In order to meet the many demands of the growing population, there is an increase in the demand for water for industrial usage. Petroleum refineries, smelting plants, and businesses that make chemicals, food, and paper all utilize water. Most of the time, producing food, paper, and chemicals requires a lot of water. Water used for fabrication, processing, washing, dilution, cooling, transporting, or incorporating water into a product, as well as for sanitary requirements inside the production facility, is referred to as industrial water consumption. Water used in manufacturing is typically substantially more than what is withdrawn. To meet industrial demand in places with limited surface water resources, groundwater is employed. As a result, companies are moving away from utilizing surface water and towards using groundwater, which is predicted to increase demand for water well drilling services in terms of value sales during the projection period.
Because it is relatively inexpensive and sediment-free, groundwater has frequently been chosen over surface water for use in households, irrigation, municipalities, and industry. Customers now have a greater need for water wells or borewells, which is boosting the expansion of water well drilling services globally. In the near future, it is anticipated that the demand for safe drinking water will significantly increase worldwide, supporting efforts in groundwater development and other water improvement industrial sectors. In turn, this is anticipated to present a plethora of potential for the market for water well drilling services to expand in terms of value sales throughout the course of the projected period.
Moreover, the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) estimates that every year in the U.S., some 500,000 new residential wells are built. Additionally, either from a public source or a private well, 44% of the US population relies on groundwater for drinking water. These two factors working together have increased the demand for water drilling services in this area. Additionally, North Americans now prefer groundwater to surface water, which is predicted to increase demand for water wells in this region and, in turn, provide the water well drilling services market with enormous opportunities in terms of value sales during the forecast period.
