Oil and Gas Drill Bit Market to Grow at a CAGR of 6.55% Over 2025 – 2032; Growth in Production and Exploration Operations in the Oil and Gas Sector to Propel Market Expansion

May 19, 2025 | Energy & Power

The global oil and gas drill bit market size was esteemed at USD 4.22 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow from USD 4.52 billion in 2025 to USD 7.05 billion by 2032, showing a CAGR of 6.55% during the forecast period.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled, Oil and Gas Drill Bit Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Roller Cone Cutter Bits {Milled-Tooth Bits (MT), Tungsten Carbide Inserts (TCI)} and Fixed Cutter Bits {Diamond Impregnated and Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC)}), By Application (Onshore and Offshore), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032.

Drill bits are considered a significant component in all the phases of oil extraction, including production and exploration. The product’s effectiveness impacts the cost, efficiency, and safety of drilling operations. This tool is attached at the bottom of the drill string that excavates the rock formations. The weight and rotation of the drill string offer the power to drill and thus aid in crushing, grinding, and scraping the bottom rock formation as the drilling process moves forward.

Introduction of Advanced Products by Key Players to Fuel Market Growth

In September 2024, a Malaysia-based manufacturer and designer of drilling, wellhead, and completion parts, OMNI Oil Technologies (M) Sdn. Bhd., unveiled Malaysia’s foremost VDP PDC Steel Body Drill Bits, which are manufactured locally.

Growing Prevalence exploration and production activities to Augment Market Growth

The growing operations related to Exploration and Production (E&P) in the oil and gas sector have led to the global oil and gas drill bit market growth. With the growing energy requirement across the globe and the depletion of traditional oil and gas reserves, the search for new and unconventional hydrocarbon resources is increasing. This has led to a growth in drilling operations across areas, including offshore, unconventional formations, and deepwater. Additionally, the growing demand for high-performing drill bits capable of managing difficult drilling instances and offering dependable outcomes is growing.

Conversely, legal and environmental concerns hinder market growth of oil gas and drill bit.
