As digitalization and decarbonization trends become more prominent, the oil and gas industry faces a dilemma: adapt or become obsolete. In the digital transformation era, producers must start exploring automation technologies if they want to remain competitive in the shifting industry. Automation applications that will have the biggest effects on industry growth are robotics for remote site inspection, the internet of things (IoT) for facility monitoring, and AI for predictive maintenance.

The market for conventional operational technologies is mature and thus will experience slower growth as attention shifts to more innovative technologies. Oil and gas companies have traditionally displayed a conservative approach to adopting new technologies. As a result, industry players have relied on established technologies to automate processes while ensuring safety. By the beginning of the next decade, however, these technologies will experience rapid displacement.

Oil and gas automation remains a highly consolidated industry, with the global leaders maintaining a dominant presence. Entry barriers are high because of the significant upfront investment required and the need to be able to demonstrate a track record of achievement to a risk-averse client base. To continue advancing their automation portfolios and penetrating new verticals, the industry's key players are leveraging strategic alliances with advanced technology providers.

Frost & Sullivan analyzes numerous companies in an industry. Those selected for further analysis based on their leadership or other distinctions are benchmarked across 10 Growth and Innovation criteria to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. The publication presents competitive profiles of each company on the Frost Radar™ considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths.

Frost Radar™: Benchmarking Future Growth Potential 2 Major Indices, 10 Analytical Ingredients, 1 Platform

Growth Index

Growth Index (GI) is a measure of a company’s growth performance and track record, along with its ability to develop and execute a fully aligned growth strategy and vision; a robust growth pipeline system; and effective market, competitor, and end-user focused sales and marketing strategies.

  • Market Share (previous 3 years)
    This is a comparison of a company’s market share relative to its competitors in a given market space for the previous 3 years.
  • Revenue Growth (previous 3 years)
    This is a look at a company’s revenue growth rate for the previous 3 years in the market/industry/category that forms the context for the given Frost Radar™.
  • Growth Pipeline
    This is an evaluation of the strength and leverage of a company’s growth pipeline system to continuously capture, analyze, and prioritize its universe of growth opportunities.
  • Vision and Strategy
    This is an assessment of how well a company’s growth strategy is aligned with its vision. Are the investments that a company is making in new products and markets consistent with the stated vision?
  • Sales and Marketing
    This is a measure of the effectiveness of a company’s sales and marketing efforts in helping it drive demand and achieve its growth objectives.

Innovation Index

Innovation Index (II) is a measure of a company’s ability to develop products/ services/ solutions (with a clear understanding of disruptive Mega Trends) that are globally applicable, are able to evolve and expand to serve multiple markets and are aligned to customers’ changing needs.

  • INNOVATION SCALABILITY
    This determines whether an organization’s innovations are globally scalable and applicable in both developing and mature markets, and also in adjacent and non-adjacent industry verticals.
  • RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
    This is a measure of the efficacy of a company’s R&D strategy, as determined by the size of its R&D investment and how it feeds the innovation pipeline.
  • PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
    This is a measure of a company’s product portfolio, focusing on the relative contribution of new products to its annual revenue.
  • MEGATRENDS LEVERAGE
    This is an assessment of a company’s proactive leverage of evolving, long-term opportunities and new business models, as the foundation of its innovation pipeline.
  • CUSTOMER ALIGNMENT
    This evaluates the applicability of a company’s products/services/solutions to current and potential customers, as well as how its innovation strategy is influenced by evolving customer needs.
