Drag-reducing additives (DRA), also known as dragreducing polymers (DRP's), are essential additives in pipelines used to decrease turbulence and increase pipeline capacity by promoting laminar flow, primarily in petroleum pipelines.
Drag Reducing Additives (DRA) are substances added to pipelines to decrease turbulence and increase laminar flow, enhancing pipeline capacity and reducing friction.
These additives, also known as flow improvers, are widely used in various industries, especially in oil & gas, to optimize fluid transportation.
The market's growth is driven by the rising need for optimizing fluid flow in pipelines, improving energy efficiency across industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and water management.
Market Value & Growth Projections:
• Global Market Value (2024): US$ 728 Million
• Projected Market Value (2031): US$ 946 Million
• CAGR (2025-2031): 3.9%
