The global drilling bits market size is projected to reach USD 41.0 million by 2026, with ~72% CAGR during the forecast period.
Drilling bits are made up materials such as tungsten carbide, diamond for increasing the steel bits strength. Based on specific drilling requirements, different drilling bits are employed for desired results. It is possible that, for single well construction, different drilling bits would be used to overcome any challenges in well drilling. On the other hand, drilling bits have to be changed on the basis of wear and tear as well. Usually drilling bits are selected based on the type of formation encountered by the drilling operators, and based on the type of drilling activity as well. With increased oil and gas exploration activities in recent time, the market for drilling bits is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Global increasing demand for energy has resulted in rapid increase in the offshore drilling activities to meet the increasing demand, which ultimately has provided significant boost to the drill bits market. Moreover, new oil reserve discoveries increase the drilling and exploration activities in coming years which upsurge the demand for the market. However, environmental risks and strict government regulations for drilling as well as increasing focus on renewable energy may hinder the market growth of the market.

In 2020, the automatic cleaning segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period
By Type:
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into fixed cutter bits, and roller cone cutter bits. The fixed cutter bits are further sub segmented into polycrystalline diamond bits, and natural diamond bits. The roller cone cutter bits are further divided into milled-tooth bits, and tungsten carbide inserts. Among these, the fixed cutter bits segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. With advancement in unconventional drilling techniques such as horizontal and vertical drilling activities, drilling activities are expected to witness further increase, which in turn would drive the market for drilling bits.
By Application:
Based on application, the market is segmented into on-shore drilling, and offshore drilling. Among these, the onshore drilling application is expected to contribute the most with increasing onshore drilling activities across various regions, around the globe. With directionless drilling, new oil and gas sources are drilled in previous unexplored and unconventional regions. This is expected to drive the market for drilling bits. However, stringent government regulations surrounding the onshore drilling activities are expected to act as a restraint for the drilling bits market.
