Pump Jack Market Expands with Refurbishment of Aging Infrastructure

In 2023, the global pump jack market was valued at USD 3,351.8 million, and it is forecast to rise to USD 4.80 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3 % between 2024 and 2030. The fundamental driver behind this expansion is the sustained global demand for oil, which increases the requirement for pump jacks in extraction operations.

Key Market Trends & Insights

• North America stands out as a high‐growth region, with strong demand underpinning its pump jack segment. In particular, the U.S. market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4 % over the forecast period.
• By well type, the vertical well segment captured a significant share in 2023 and remains a core component of demand.
• In terms of weight classification, systems under 100,000 lbs commanded a large share in 2023, reflecting their suitability to many wells.
• From an application perspective, offshore drilling accounted for 16.1 % of the market in 2023 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.5 % through 2030.

Market Size & Forecast

• 2023 market size: USD 3,351.8 million
• 2030 projected size: USD 4.80 billion
• CAGR (2024–2030): 5.3 %
• Leading region (2023): North America

Pump jacks are especially prized in onshore drilling because of their relatively lower cost compared to offshore setups. Among the mature and declining fields, onshore extraction using pump jacks offers an efficient solution. Even as renewable energy draws growing interest, fossil fuels remain key in global energy mix, meaning pump jacks continue to be in demand. Another important trend is the rising adoption of automation in extraction—this boosts operational efficiency, lowers labor costs, and further underpins pump jack deployment. Moreover, new exploration zones and the expansion of shale oil activities—especially in North America—bolster demand for robust artificial lift solutions.
