“The Shale Gas Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.”

Shale gas refers to natural gas, trapped within shale rock. Shales are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that are rich sources of petroleum and natural gas. Natural gas produced from shale is often referred to as an unconventional source of energy.

These underground shales are nothing but the type of rocks that are broken up by hydraulic fracturing.

Rising demand for shale gas in several end-use industries such as power generation industries owing to increasing awareness about benefits offered by shale gas such as low carbon emission than other gases which is a key factor driving the growth of the global shale gas market.

In addition, due to its cost-effectiveness, shale gas is replacing conventional energy sources such as coal in several end-use industries, which is another factor expected to support the growth of the global shale gas market over the forecast year.

However, stringent regulations for the production of shale gas are a key factor restraining the growth of the global shale gas market over the forecast period.

The production of shale gas requires a large amount of water, which may affect the availability of water in some regions. Therefore, many European countries are not allowed the production of shale gas.

Furthermore, the mismanagement of recycle process of used water, which is further used in the other industries can be harmful to natural habitats if it gets mixed with clean water resources through exposure pathways or by leaks, or spills. This is another factor that may hamper the growth of the shale gas market.

The market in North America accounted for the highest share in terms of revenue over the forecast period as the US has abundant availability of shale gas coupled with favorable government regulations in the North America region is a major factor expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.

The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth in terms of revenue owing to the availability of reservoirs in China.
