Pipeline Network Market Report 2026

The pipeline network market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.6 billion in 2025 to $11.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas transportation demand, expansion of refining capacity, reliance on pipelines for bulk transport, development of cross border pipelines, increase in urban energy consumption.

The pipeline network market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in smart pipeline systems, growth in natural gas demand, focus on pipeline safety compliance, expansion of LNG related pipelines, modernization of transmission infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of long distance pipeline networks, increasing focus on pipeline monitoring systems, rising adoption of leak detection technologies, growth in gas pipeline infrastructure, modernization of aging pipeline assets.

The rising oil production is expected to drive the growth of the pipeline network market in the coming years. Oil production refers to the extraction or pumping of crude oil from underground reservoirs or wells. Global oil production is increasing to meet growing energy demand and address geopolitical considerations, aiming to satisfy rising fuel and petrochemical needs while supporting economic development and energy security. Pipeline networks play a critical role in oil production by efficiently transporting crude oil from extraction sites to refineries and distribution centers, ensuring a cost-effective and reliable supply chain. For example, in June 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. crude oil production reached a record 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024, 2% higher than the previous record set in 2023. Therefore, the growth in oil production is fueling the expansion of the pipeline network market.

Leading companies in the pipeline network market are focusing on creating innovative solutions, such as the Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA), to promote environmental sustainability, enhance operational efficiency, and comply with stringent emissions reduction regulations. A Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) is a cutting-edge system designed to manage hydraulic mechanisms without emitting direct pollutants, aligning with eco-friendly and sustainable operations. For example, in August 2023, Automation Technology, Inc. (ATI), a US-based company specializing in automation solutions for the oil and gas industry, introduced a Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator solution aimed at eliminating the carbon footprint of pipeline operations. This advanced system is self-contained and integrates power directly with the actuator, available in both spring-return and double-acting configurations. These innovations are designed to help the industry transition to greener operations while meeting environmental regulations. The actuator provides high thrust and torque for quick and precise valve control, while also incorporating fail-safe mechanisms to ensure safety.

In November 2023, ExxonMobil, a U.S.-based natural gas company, completed the acquisition of Denbury Inc. for $4.9 billion. This strategic move positions ExxonMobil as the largest owner and operator of CO2 (carbon dioxide) pipelines in the U.S., significantly enhancing its capacity to transport CO2 to various industrial facilities for carbon capture and storage applications. Denbury Inc., an independent oil and natural gas company based in the U.S., operates the world's largest CO2 pipeline network.
