What are the key forces behind the land drilling rig market’s growth in recent years?
The rising energy consumption is expected to drive the growth of the land drilling rig market going forward. Energy consumption refers to the amount of energy used by individuals, businesses, or systems for various activities such as heating, transportation, and powering devices. Energy consumption is increasing due to population growth, industrialization, technological advancements, and rising demand for goods and services. Land drilling rigs are essential for energy production, enabling the extraction of oil and natural gas—key resources that fuel industries, power infrastructure, and support daily life. For instance, in September 2024, according to the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, in 2023, renewable energy made up approximately 9% (8.2 quadrillion British thermal units) of total U.S. energy consumption. The electric power sector contributed about 39% of the country’s renewable energy use, while renewable sources accounted for roughly 21% of total U.S. electricity generation. Therefore, rising energy consumption is driving the growth of the land drilling rig market.
