Pipe Coatings Market

Global Pipe Coatings Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the pipe coatings market is expected to rise from USD 10.11 billion in 2024 to reach USD 14.05 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the foreseen period 2024 to 2029

MARKET OVERVIEW

Pipe coating is a protective coating put on metal surfaces mainly to stop the corrosion of pipes. The coating is put from one layer to a triple-layer array to go through harsh environments like UV, solvents, moisture, etc. Apart from that, protection from the corrosion pipe coatings is also made for abrasion resistance. The choosing of the correct coating depends on different factors, some of which are performance level, economic consideration, regulatory worries, technical properties needed, etc. Polymeric pipe coating like fusion bonded epoxy coating also called FBE coating and olefin-based is popular owing to coating with lower residual stress and uniform coating without weld tenting.

The high call in the target market is credited to the increasing pipeline business worldwide. Also, the call is driven by the escalating technological developments in the pipeline coatings industry. Pipe coatings have risen as a price-effective and efficient solution for maintaining pipeline probity. The oil & gas segment remains the major customer of pipe coatings and is probable to show major calls for such coatings in the next coming years. The worldwide consumption of oil and gas continues to escalate due to a number of macroeconomic factors. Pipe coatings come with many advantages like enhanced flow assurance, a reduced price of energy, and corrosion prevention that make it a suitable product for pipeline integration management.

The pipe coating industry is driven mainly by the industrial sector of the end-user business. Apart from that, the abrasion resistance overlay (ARO) is a trendsetter in the pipe coating market. Also, regional stringent government rules for the environment and health safety (EHS), assists in the expansion of the pipe coating industry. The fast expansion of end-use businesses, like oil and gas, is estimated to be a major force triggering the development of the global pipe coating industry. Transportation of crucial liquids through pipelines needs proper maintenance of pipes to avoid losses. Governments around the globe are putting stringent rules relating to VOCs that create the requirement for the advancement of the latest and eco-friendly products like water-based coatings that are estimated to drive the industry’s expansion. The focus of government across key regions to improve sewage and potable water infrastructure is also estimated to boost industry expansion over the foreseen period.

Worldwide, the increasing requirement for smooth transportation of oils and acids, and higher shelf life, increasing advancement of infrastructure, stringent government rules for the environment and health safety (EHS) across the world, and escalating shale gas development activities in North America are the major growth drivers of the global pipe coating industry. In addition to that, the emergence and increasing focus on mobile coating technology, escalation in the adoption of pipe coating for applications in new business verticals, and growing economies like China, India, and others, will create new opportunities for the worldwide pipe coating industry.

Nevertheless, the higher price of pipe coating and oversupply situations of crude oil are the major restraints for the worldwide pipe coating industry. The escalating raw material price that further adds to the price of manufacturing may prove to be a key challenge for the global pipe coating industry over the outlook period.
