The global flexible pipe market, valued at USD 1084.4 million in 2021, is poised for significant growth with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.2 percent throughout the forecast period. Flexible pipes, which find applications across various industries, especially in oil and gas, are expected to witness increased demand due to their ability to withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions. The markets expansion is driven by rising oil and gas exploration activities, a growing need for non-corrosive pipes, and advancements in engineering-grade flexible materials.
A crucial component of flexible pipes is the integration of leakproof thermoplastic barriers and corrosion-resistant wires, enabling them to withstand challenging operating conditions. Increasing oil and gas exploration operations, a rising demand for non-corrosive pipes, and the adoption of advanced flexible materials are key drivers for the markets expansion. Additionally, advancements in drilling processes, particularly in deep-water exploration, and innovations in the drilling industry are creating favorable conditions for the global flexible pipe market.
Key Drivers:
- Technological Advancements in Drilling: Technological breakthroughs in the drilling process have opened access to previously inaccessible locations, including unconventional formations, deep-water regions, and the Arctic. These advancements have led to increased use of flexible pipes, particularly in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques.
- Increasing Horizontal Well Exploration: The shift towards horizontal drilling techniques, which result in higher production rates than vertical wells, is driving the demand for flexible pipes. These pipes are ideal for use in shallow and lengthy horizontal wells due to their flexibility and ease of removal.
Key Restraints:
- Strict Regulations in Oil and Gas Industry: Environmental regulations surrounding drilling activities have become more stringent, leading to increased costs associated with treating produced water. These regulations impact the revenue of offshore and onshore drilling service companies, consequently affecting the flexible pipe market.
Segment Overview:
- HDPE Dominance: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is anticipated to dominate the flexible pipe market due to its affordability, wide range of temperature tolerance, UV resistance, and chemical stability. Its cost-effectiveness and physical properties drive its global demand.
- Offshore Leading: The offshore category holds the largest market share, driven by increased ultra-deepwater, deep water, and subsea exploration activities in offshore drilling. The higher cost of offshore flexible pipes compared to onshore pipes contributes to the dominance of this segment.
Regional Landscape:
- North America Dominant: North America is expected to lead the global flexible pipe market due to the United States burgeoning shale resources and plans to become a top oil and gas producer. The regions presence of key players and a high number of oil and gas drilling activities drive its market growth.
- Global Energy Exports: The United States is projected to become a net energy exporter in 2020 and beyond, with increased crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas plant liquids production contributing to market growth.
The global flexible pipe market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by advancements in drilling technology, an increase in horizontal well exploration, and North Americas position as a leading player in the oil and gas sector.
