Global Solid Control Equipment Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Shale Shaker, Desander, Desilter, Vacuum Degasser, Centrifuge, Other Types) by Location of Deployment (Onshore, Offshore) and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

The Global Solid Control Equipment Market is valued at approximately USD 4.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 10.0% over the forecast period 2025-2035. Solid control equipment plays a pivotal role in drilling operations, ensuring the effective separation of solids from drilling fluids and enhancing the efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance of upstream activities. These systems, including shale shakers, desanders, desilters, vacuum degassers, and centrifuges, are critical in maintaining drilling fluid quality, reducing environmental impact, and optimizing operational costs. Market growth is propelled by increasing global oil and gas exploration activities, particularly in onshore and offshore regions, coupled with ongoing technological advancements in fluid management and separation processes.

The rising demand for high-performance and technologically advanced solid control equipment is significantly shaping the market landscape. The surge in exploration and production activities, especially in deepwater and unconventional reserves, has accentuated the need for robust equipment that can efficiently handle varying geological conditions. According to industry reports, global oil production continued to witness steady growth, which in turn drives the deployment of solid control systems to minimize operational downtime and ensure sustainable drilling practices. However, stringent environmental regulations and the shift towards renewable energy sources present challenges, which manufacturers are countering with innovation in eco-friendly and energy-efficient solid control solutions.

The detailed segments and sub-segments included in the report are:

By Type:
• Shale Shaker
• Desander
• Desilter
• Vacuum Degasser
• Centrifuge
• Other Types

By Location of Deployment:
• Onshore
• Offshore

Onshore deployment is expected to dominate the market, accounting for the largest share due to the prevalence of land-based oil and gas drilling operations worldwide. Onshore sites often require continuous and efficient solids separation to maintain drilling fluid quality and ensure uninterrupted production. Offshore deployment, however, is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, driven by the expansion of deepwater drilling, stringent environmental regulations, and the adoption of advanced solid control systems that comply with offshore safety and performance standards.

Among the equipment types, shale shakers lead in revenue contribution, owing to their critical role in the primary separation stage, high operational efficiency, and widespread adoption across both onshore and offshore sites. Centrifuges and vacuum degassers are witnessing steady growth as technological enhancements improve their performance in handling fine solids and gas-laden fluids. This delineates a nuanced market scenario: while shale shakers remain indispensable for revenue generation, other high-end separation technologies are poised to grow faster due to increasing technological integration and demand for optimized drilling fluid management.

North America led the Solid Control Equipment Market in 2025, benefiting from its mature oil and gas infrastructure, high mechanization levels, and significant drilling and exploration activities. Europe maintains steady demand with an emphasis on compliance with environmental regulations and sustainable drilling practices. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during 2025-2035, fueled by rising energy demand, rapid industrialization, and increased exploration in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. The Middle East & Africa and Latin America present emerging opportunities, supported by new exploration projects, investment in drilling infrastructure, and modernization of drilling operations.
