The global seismic services market was valued at USD 9.70 Billion in 2025. Global interest in offshore wind and hydrogen storage is creating parallel demand for seismic mapping of seabeds, driving new business models and long-term contracts for multi-client seismic service providers. As a result, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.40% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 13.55 Billion by 2035.
Market growth is powered by digital innovation and the need for deeper exploration precision. The growing demand for unconventional reserves like shale gas and tight oil, particularly in the United States and China, is driving investments in advanced subsurface imaging. Seismic services, including surveys, are key tools in the oil and gas sector, as they enable professionals to identify prospects, assess potential resources, reduce risk, and even quantify reserves. The International Association of Geophysical Contractors endorses seismic surveys as both cost-effective and highly effective, highlighting their crucial role in exploration strategies. Seismic surveys are typically conducted at a speed of about 4.5 to 5 knots (~5.5 mph), and the sound source is typically activated at 10-15 second intervals.
The push for energy security has led to governments amplifying seismic surveys, boosting further demand in the seismic services market. For instance, India’s National Seismic Programme (NSP) aims to acquire 2D seismic data over 48,000-line kilometres across sedimentary basins. Moreover, Saudi Aramco is heavily focused on offshore 3D seismic campaigns in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf.
Emerging technologies are redefining traditional survey methods. Companies in the seismic services industry are now leaning into nodal seismic systems, AI-driven data processing, and hybrid acquisition models that combine land and marine data. For instance, PGS launched its “GeoStreamer X” platform, which delivers enhanced subsurface images through integrated acquisition and processing.

Top seismic services market players like TGS, PGS, CGG, Schlumberger, and Shearwater are now focusing on hybrid data models, AI-integrated interpretation, and real-time acquisition. Multiclient libraries are being expanded aggressively in underexplored regions like West Africa and Southeast Asia. As per the market report, the emergence of 4D seismic technology allows for the mapping of potential reserves with accurate reservoir characterisation and seismic monitoring. Additionally, the growing exploration activities in unconventional reservoirs are further increasing the adoption of 4D seismic technologies.
A key opportunity for seismic services companies lies in cross-sector diversification, including geothermal, offshore wind, and carbon storage. Service providers are building modular offerings to suit both oil majors and small independents. Another focus area is sustainability. Firms are investing in low-emission vessels, autonomous drones, and nodal technology to comply with new ESG standards.
