The seamless pipes market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $235.59 billion in 2023 to $245.82 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be ascribed to robust economic growth in emerging markets and the rise of government initiatives aimed at bolstering the steel industry and its products, including seamless pipes.
The seamless pipes market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $293.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to the burgeoning oil and gas sector, the installation of new transmission pipelines, the continuous expansion of the chemical industry, and the swift pace of industrialization along with the growth in manufacturing industries. Key trends expected during this period involve an emphasis on investing in low-emission furnaces, the development of innovative technological solutions, the expansion of research and development (R&D) facilities, a focus on mergers and acquisitions, and a dedication to creating new and inventive products.
The seamless pipes market is anticipated to experience growth driven by the installation of new transmission pipelines. These pipelines, characterized by large-diameter steel pipes, play a crucial role in transporting crude oil from gathering systems to refining, processing, or storage facilities. Operating at high pressure and temperature, transmission pipelines facilitate the movement of natural gas from compressor stations and storage facilities to regulators, contributing to the expansion of the seamless pipes market. In November 2022, the US Energy Information Administration reported the construction of new transmission pipelines covering approximately 3 million miles of mainline, with ongoing efforts to connect natural gas production areas and storage facilities to consumers. The global installation of these pipelines has significantly propelled the seamless pipes market, ensuring the efficient transportation of natural gas to millions of consumers.
The seamless pipes market has also benefited from favorable government initiatives aimed at promoting its growth. Government actions, programs, or policies have encouraged the development and availability of seamless pipes as raw materials for manufacturers. An example of such initiatives is the agreement between France, Spain, and Portugal in October 2022 to construct an underwater pipeline for transporting hydrogen and natural gas. This project, known as the BarMar pipeline, addresses Europe's energy crisis by temporarily transporting natural gas while accommodating green hydrogen and renewable gases. Additionally, in November 2021, the government of Brazil implemented a 10% reduction in import taxes on various steel products, including tubes and pipes, fostering growth in the seamless pipes market. These governmental measures play a pivotal role in driving the seamless pipes market by supporting technological advancements and addressing specific industry needs.
The seamless pipes market is witnessing a surge in the adoption of technological advancements as a prominent trend. Leading players in the seamless pipes sector are directing their efforts towards the development of innovative products tailored for diverse industries such as oil and gas, hydrogen energy, and others, aiming to fortify their market position. A notable example occurred in July 2021 when TMK Company, a Russia-based seamless pipes manufacturer, collaborated with Gazprom, a state-owned multinational energy corporation in Russia, to introduce smart pipes designed for trunk gas pipelines. This groundbreaking solution represents the world's first technical approach to monitoring and diagnosing the integrity of pipeline infrastructure. Equipped with built-in sensors, these pipes offer real-time updates on the stress-strain behavior of gas pipelines, assessing their remaining service life to avert potential emergencies.
Prominent companies within the seamless pipes market are dedicated to the development of novel and innovative products to maintain competitiveness. In November 2021, Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation, a Chinese steel manufacturer, successfully engineered martensitic stainless steel seamless pipes. This product effectively addresses gaps in the Anshan Iron and Steel Group's portfolio, specifically in the realm of high-CO2 corrosion-resistant oil well pipe products. By enhancing the seamless steel tube continuous rolling mill high-alloy steel pipe production process, the innovation resolves challenges associated with the short service life of martensitic stainless steel perforated plugs.
In July 2022, Tenaris, a Luxembourg-based manufacturer specializing in steel pipes and seamless steel pipes, executed a strategic acquisition of Benteler Steel & Tube Manufacturing for $460 million. This move is poised to significantly augment Tenaris's seamless pipe production capacity and bolster its local manufacturing presence in the US market. Benteler Steel & Tube Manufacturing, the acquired entity, is a US-based producer of seamless steel pipes. This strategic transaction underscores the commitment of major players to advancing their capabilities and expanding their market footprint in the dynamic seamless pipes industry.
