플렉서블 파이프 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 원자재 유형별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Flexible Pipes Market is accounted for $1,219.0 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1,881.9 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. Flexible pipes are specially designed pipelines capable of bending and flexing to accommodate various conditions, such as seabed movements or dynamic fluid flows. Composed of layers including polymers, metals, and reinforcement materials, they offer durability and adaptability. Their construction allows for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Flexible pipes ensure fluid transportation integrity in challenging environments, such as deep-sea drilling or subsea production, where traditional rigid pipelines may be impractical or vulnerable to damage.

According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), power generation from renewable energy sources (natural gas) in India reached 127.01 billion units in FY20.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing subsea infrastructure investments

Governments, oil companies, and service providers are allocating substantial funds to develop subsea infrastructure to access these reserves efficiently and sustainably. These investments stem from the increasing demand for energy resources, particularly offshore oil and gas, and the exploration of deeper and more remote reserves. Moreover, as technological advancements continue to unlock previously inaccessible resources in deeper waters, the demand for flexible pipes is expected to rise further.

Restraint:

High initial investment

Flexible pipes are often made from specialized materials and require advanced manufacturing processes, which contributes to higher production costs compared to traditional rigid pipes. Additionally, the installation of flexible pipes may require specialized equipment, skilled labor, and engineering expertise, which further adds to the initial investment required. The upfront cost can be perceived as a barrier hindering market growth.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements

Innovations in materials science, manufacturing processes, and design capabilities contribute to the development of more durable, versatile, and efficient flexible pipe solutions. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving the design of flexible pipes to enhance their performance and longevity while minimizing maintenance requirements. Thus, this includes innovations in reinforcement structures, sealing mechanisms, and connection technologies, further enhancing the reliability and efficiency of flexible pipe systems.

Threat:

Lack of standardization

The absence of standardized testing and quality assurance procedures further compounds the issue. Without standardized specifications, there can be variations in the design, materials, and performance characteristics of flexible pipes. This lack of consistency makes it difficult for buyers to compare and evaluate products effectively. Additionally, the absence of industry-wide standards hampers innovation and research in the field of flexible pipes.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant negative impacts on the flexible pipe market, primarily due to disruptions in global supply chains, project delays, and decreased demand for oil and gas products. Supply chain disruptions, stemming from lockdowns, travel restrictions, and workforce shortages, have led to delays in the procurement of raw materials and components necessary for manufacturing flexible pipes. Moreover, the decline in oil prices resulting from reduced demand and oversupply has further dampened investment in offshore oil and gas projects, where flexible pipes are commonly used.

The jumpers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The jumpers segment is estimated to hold the largest share due to its crucial role in facilitating the connection between various subsea components, such as Christmas trees, manifolds, and flowlines, in offshore oil and gas operations. These connectors allow for quick and secure attachment to other subsea equipment. Additionally, they provide flexibility to accommodate movements caused by seabed topography changes, thermal expansion, and equipment installation or removal, thereby gradually propelling this segment's growth.

The polyvinylidene fluoride segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The polyvinylidene fluoride segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to a significant portion of the industry driven by the unique properties and applications of this thermoplastic polymer. PVDF-based flexible pipes are well-suited for conveying corrosive fluids, such as hydrocarbons and chemicals, due to their resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents. Moreover, they offer flexibility and ease of installation, enabling efficient deployment in challenging offshore conditions, including deepwater and harsh environments, which boosts this segment's expansion.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to the region's expanding offshore oil and gas activities, growing energy demand, and increasing investments in subsea infrastructure development. Countries such as Japan, China and India are key contributors to the market's growth in this region. Moreover, the region's vast coastline and extensive offshore reserves present abundant opportunities for flexible pipe deployment in both shallow and deepwater projects, further bolstering the demand for flexible pipes in the Asia Pacific region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period. Europe boasts a mature offshore oil and gas industry, with a long history of exploration and production in the North Sea and other offshore basins. Flexible pipes are widely utilized in these operations due to their ability to withstand the harsh conditions prevalent in the region, including rough seas, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments. Furthermore, Europe's strong regulatory framework, including stringent safety and environmental standards, ensures the quality and reliability of flexible pipe systems deployed in the region.
