The spoolable pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.63 billion in 2024 to $1.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to oil and gas industry demand, advancements in composite materials, expansion in pipeline infrastructure, rise in exploration and production activities, cost and time efficiency.

The spoolable pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.19 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in energy infrastructure development, increasing demand for flexible pipeline solutions, focus on environmental sustainability, expansion of infrastructure in developing regions, increase in offshore and subsea applications. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations in manufacturing processes, renewable energy projects, increased applications in water management, growing preference for lightweight and flexible pipes, focus on pipeline safety and reliability.

The rising demand for oil and gas is anticipated to drive the growth of the spoolable pipes market in the future. Oil and gas are fossil fuels primarily utilized for energy and industrial applications, extracted from beneath the Earth's surface. This demand is linked to their critical roles in transportation, heating, electricity generation, industrial development, population growth, urbanization, and the need for petrochemicals. Spoolable pipes are employed in oil and gas production, drilling, storage, and transportation systems. They provide reliable solutions for transporting hydrocarbons, refined fuels, and chemical products due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, and ability to resist paraffin build-up. For instance, in April 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that the electric power sector experienced the largest increase in natural gas consumption among U.S. economic sectors in 2023, with a 7% rise, translating to an additional 2.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and bringing the total from 33.2 Bcf/d in 2022 to a record high of 35.4 Bcf/d. Therefore, the growing demand for oil and gas is expected to propel the spoolable pipes market.

The rising demand in mining activities is projected to boost the growth of the spoolable pipes market in the coming years. Mining activities involve extracting valuable minerals, ores, or other geological materials from the Earth's crust. Spoolable pipes enhance mining operations by offering improved flexibility, durability, cost-effectiveness, chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance while allowing for quick and easy installation, thereby reducing downtime. For example, in February 2023, Glacier Media Group, a Canada-based media organization, reported that U.S. mines produced non-fuel mineral products valued at approximately $98.2 billion in 2022, an increase of about $3.6 billion compared to the revised total of $94.6 billion in 2021. Thus, the rising demand in mining activities is driving the growth of the spoolable pipes market.

Major companies in the spoolable pipe market are concentrating on developing innovative products like thermoplastic composite flexible pipes, which offer improved durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility for various applications. These lightweight and durable piping systems are constructed from thermoplastic materials and composite reinforcements, providing flexibility and resilience against harsh conditions for use in oil and gas, water management, and construction sectors. For example, in May 2024, DNV, a company based in Norway, introduced the DNV-ST-F207 standard. This standard aims to facilitate the use of Hybrid Thermoplastic Composite Flexible Pipes (TCPs) in deepwater applications, addressing challenges such as high tension and corrosive environments, while encouraging the integration of advanced materials like carbon fiber armor to enhance safety and efficiency in offshore projects.

Leading companies in the spoolable pipe market are prioritizing the development of innovative products such as reinforced thermoplastic pipes to improve durability and flexibility for applications in oil and gas, water distribution, and chemical processing. Reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) is a robust and durable piping solution made from thermoplastic materials reinforced with fibers, specifically designed for high-pressure applications in industries including oil and gas, water distribution, and construction. For instance, in November 2023, Baker Hughes, a U.S.-based energy technology firm, launched PythonPipeTM. This technology enables rapid installation and significant cost savings, achieving up to a 75% reduction in carbon emissions while maintaining durability in challenging environments. Its flexible, non-metallic design enhances efficiency and minimizes maintenance requirements, making it a sustainable option for the energy sector.

In January 2023, Cactus, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of wellhead equipment, announced its acquisition of FlexSteel Technologies Holdings Inc. for approximately $621 million. This acquisition enhances Cactus' status as a leading provider of specialized technologies to end users in the industry. FlexSteel's products merge the durability and reliability of steel with the speed and efficiency of spoolable pipes. FlexSteel Technologies Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of spoolable pipes.

Spoolable pipes are composed of multi-layered materials consisting of a thermoplastic liner, a reinforcing layer, and an outer thermoplastic cover. These flexible composite pipes (FCP) are specifically designed for use in high-pressure pipelines. The addition of a reinforcing layer ensures the pipe's capability to withstand high pressures, complementing the presence of a thermoplastic outer cover.

The primary components making up spoolable pipes include thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics are resin materials that remain solid at typical temperatures but become pliable upon heating, eventually reaching a fluid state through processes like crystal melting or transitioning past the glass transition point. The reinforcement materials can include glass fiber, carbon fiber, or steel reinforcements. These spoolable pipes find applications in various settings such as onshore, offshore, and downhole environments. They are distributed and made available for purchase either directly or through intermediary distributors.
