Posted by Niranjan Petkar on November 8th, 2019

“Methane Hydrate Extraction Market: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2025”. According to the report, the methane hydrate extraction market is estimated to reach 66,901.8 thousand cubic meters by 2025, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2025.

Rise in investment for the process of extraction of methane hydrate, and increase in government initiatives to accelerate the extraction process to meet the rising demand for energy are expected to propel the growth of the methane hydrate extraction market. Moreover, rapid technological advancements in the oil & gas mining vessels would supplement the market growth. However, high risks associated with the extraction activities and threat of increasing probabilities of tsunamis due to sediment slide caused by inefficient hydrate mining are estimated to hamper the market. On the contrary, rise in interest in methane hydrate extraction linked with surge in R&D are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market in the near future.
