Global Market for Seamless Pipes & Tubes is Projected to Reach 70.5 Million Tons by 2020
Surging Demand from the Energy Sector Drives the
Global Seamless Pipes and Tubes Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces
the release of a comprehensive global report on Seamless Pipes and Tubes markets.
Global
market for Seamless Pipes and Tubes is projected to reach 70.5 million tons by
2020, primarily driven by increasing
oil & gas exploration and production activity as well as growing demand for
premium pipes.
Demand for
seamless pipes and tubes is primarily linked to the dynamics of the energy
sector and closely follows the trend in oil and gas rigs count. Given the high
strength and corrosion resistant features of seamless pipes, these products
also find use in chemical and other types of processing industries, steam
boilers, pipelines, and applications requiring high pressure and steam
conditions. Over the years, explosive growth in oil exploration and production
operations has ensured strong demand for oil country tubular goods (OCTG) pipes.
Use of
industrial seamless pipes is directly linked to the health of the
economy, as a result of which prevailing economic conditions play a significant
role in determining the pace and extent of demand for such pipes.
With reviving
global economic conditions and resurgent activity across several industries
including automotive, mechanical engineering, petrochemical, chemical and
construction, demand for seamless pipes and tubes market is expected to witness
an improvement in demand conditions. But the most noticeable contribution in
the near term would be from the energy industry, with the sector’s growth
expected to drive up demand for seamless steel tube pipes. With the oil and gas
production activities becoming increasingly complex, the demand for high value
products used in such projects is rising. Continuous rise in horizontal and
directional drilling operations at deeper levels is expected to drive the
demand for high-grade OCTG pipes.
As stated by the
new market research report on Seamless Pipes and Tubes,
Asia-Pacific represents the largest market worldwide. China ranks among the
largest producers and consumers of steel and steel products, including steel
pipes and tubes. Rapid increase in infrastructure facilities across emerging
markets, and resurgence in automobile, industrial, and construction markets
bode well for market growth in the region.
Major players covered
in the report include ArcelorMittal SA, Boomerang Tube LLC, Bri-Chem
Corporation, Bri-Steel Corporation, EVRAZ North America, ChelPipe, JFE Steel
Corporation, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, Jindal SAW Ltd.,
Maharashtra Seamless Limited, OAO TMK, TMK IPSCO, Techint Group SpA, Tenaris
S.A., TenarisSiderca (Siderca S.A.I.C.), Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation, UMW
Group, United States Steel Corporation, Vallourec & Mannesmann Tubes,
Vallourec Star LP and Wheatland Tube Company, among others.
