The global Positive Displacement Motors (PDM) market size was valued at US$ 1.56 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 2.13 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
The United States Positive Displacement Motors (PDM) market size was valued at US$ 412.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 543.8 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Positive Displacement Motors are downhole drilling tools used in the oil and gas industry to convert hydraulic energy from drilling fluid into mechanical energy, providing rotational force to the drill bit for efficient wellbore drilling, especially in directional and horizontal wells.
The global Positive Displacement Motors market is experiencing moderate growth, driven by ongoing oil and gas exploration activities, increasing focus on unconventional resources, and the need for efficient drilling technologies. In 2023, global sales of PDMs reached approximately 25,000 units, with North America and Middle East accounting for 65% of demand. The onshore sector remains the largest consumer, representing 70% of sales, followed by offshore at 30%. The market saw a boost from the recovery of drilling activities post-pandemic, leading to a 12% increase in PDM utilization in horizontal drilling operations in 2023. Technological advancements have focused on improving power output and reliability, with new PDM designs offering up to 25% higher torque and 30% longer operational life compared to previous generations. The market is witnessing strong growth in high-temperature PDMs, increasing at 10% annually, driven by deep drilling and geothermal applications. In 2023, the trend towards factory-assembled bottom hole assemblies led to a 15% increase in integrated PDM-MWD (Measurement While Drilling) systems. The industry faces challenges from the development of alternative drilling technologies like rotary steerable systems, but the cost-effectiveness and versatility of PDMs continue to ensure their widespread use. Emerging applications in coiled tubing drilling are showing promise, with specialized slim-hole PDMs growing at 14% CAGR, albeit from a small base of 5% market share. Looking ahead, the market is expected to benefit from innovations in smart PDMs with built-in sensors for real-time performance monitoring, with these advanced motors projected to grow at 18% CAGR through 2030.
