Pipeline transportation Market By Type (Oil and Gas, Coal, Chemical, Water, Others), By Solution Type (Security Solutions, Automation and Control, Integrity and Tracking Solution, Network Communication Solution, Others), By Services (Consulting Service, Managed Service, Maintenance and Support): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global pipeline transportation market was valued at $17.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $37.4 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2031.
Pipeline transportation is ideal for unidirectional flow of goods and inflationary influences have minimal effect on the transport cost. In comparison with conventional transportation, pipeline transportation has many advantages such as low operating cost, environment friendliness, flexibility, and complete automation of loading and unloading operations. These are all factors that are driving the pipeline transport market and are expected to fuel its growth at an extremely high pace.
Increase in the development of chemical manufacturing sites across the globe surges the demand for various chemicals that are produced during the refining of crude oil. This is one of the factors that drives the growth of the market. Surge in investment of the government toward wastewater treatment plants to reuse the water for other purposes along with increase in population has led to development of food processing manufacturing plants where water transport pipelines and other liquids such as beer, and milk transport pipelines, are used to improve the efficiency of the production and meet the demand for the consumer. Increase in the water desalination plants and transportation of water across variety of terrain and hills to provide water to the consumer drives the growth of the market.
The rapid advancement of detecting technology such as sensors, batch trackers, and pipeline management systems, is imperative so that the operator can take appropriate decisions at the right time, as a wrong decision can lead to massive losses. The increase in R&D information communication technology to streamline the management and improve the efficiency regarding the surveillance and monitoring to avoid environmental pollution and dangerous hazards such as gas leakage and others, are expected to create opportunities for key players in the market.
The pipeline is not suitable for transporting solid goods such as iron, coal, and others; as most of the solid materials that are needed to transport cannot be converted in the form of slurry. Pipelines can pollute the air, water, soil, and climate when they leak. Pipelines that cross rivers and streams are more vulnerable to breaks when heavy rain and floods occur. The above-mentioned are all the factors hampering the growth of the pipeline transportation market.
The initial cost of laying pipelines for the transportation of liquids is extremely high due to utilization of high-cost materials such as steel to produce pipelines. In addition, the construction of pipelines must go through various landscapes such as water bodies, deserts, and other climatic conditions, which will increase the need for labor; thus, having an impact on the cost of infrastructure. Furthermore, there is demand for specialized pipelines to transport chemicals, which is expected to lead to an increase in the utilization of various other materials to improve the safety of the transportation of chemicals.
The global pipeline transportation market forecast is segmented on the basis of type, solution, service, and region. By type, the market is divided into oil & gas, coal, chemical, water, and others. By solution, it is divided into security solutions, automation and control, integrity and tracking solution, network communication solution, and others. On the basis of service, the market is divided into consulting services, managed services, and maintenance and support. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Impact of Covid-19 on Global Pipeline Transportation Market
The COVID-19 outbreak negatively affected most of the pipeline transport market's development. The government's efforts to halt the spread of the virus resulted in a global lockdown, resulting in the shutdown of various industries, which resulted in a drop in demand for petroleum and chemical raw materials used to manufacture finished products; the lack of a workforce resulted in the bankruptcy of many manufacturing industries around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated the demand for pipeline transportation as they are directly connected to the source of raw materials such as oil fields, refineries, and other chemical plants. Overcoming transportation constraints imposed by the pandemic led to government investment in the deployment of transportation pipelines.
