Pipe Coatings Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Bituminous, Concrete, Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating, Thermoplastic Polymer Coatings and Other Types), Pipe Surface (Internal and External), Form (Powder Coating and Liquid Coating), End User

Pipe Coatings Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Bituminous, Concrete, Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating, Thermoplastic Polymer Coatings and Other Types), Pipe Surface (Internal and External), Form (Powder Coating and Liquid Coating), End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Pipe Coatings Market is accounted for $8.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $13.7 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Pipe coatings are protective coatings applied to the interiors and exteriors of pipelines to prevent corrosion. The pipe coatings market is divided into two segments: exterior coatings and inside coatings. External corrosion is typically caused by oxide development as a result of exposure to air and water, whereas internal corrosion is caused by chemically active components present in the pipeline stream reacting with the pipe material. Pipe coating has been found to be the most reliable way of corrosion protection due to its higher wear resistance, flow augmentation, and reduced abrasion effect.

According to BP, globally, oil production in 2021 increased by about 1.6% from the previous year and is expected to increase over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand of pipe coating

The rapid rise of end-user industries such as the oil and gas industry has increased demand for process pipe coating, which is the primary driver driving the process Pipe Coating Market. To prevent leaks, the pipelines that carry the fluids must be adequately maintained. The government is implementing rigorous VOC laws, increasing the demand for sophisticated and eco-friendly items such as water-based coatings to expand the process pipe coating business. Another factor that will help the sector's development is the government's increasing emphasis on modernising potable water systems and sewer lines.

Restraint:

Volatility in raw material prices

Uncertainty in the costs of raw materials for pipe coating is one of the major issues for manufacturers. The greatest challenge to the process pipe coating business is an increase in the cost of raw materials, which boosts the cost of manufacturing and has a negative influence on market development. Increasing raw material prices, which add to the cost of production, may prove to be a major problem for the worldwide process pipe coating business throughout the forecast period.

Opportunity:

Mobile coating technology

Mobile coating technology, also known as revolutionary portable coating technology, entails offering coating services at the project site. It improves project streamlining, lowering shipping and handling expenses as well as the time required to complete the coating. This method is utilised for pipe coatings and linings that require external anti-corrosion, mechanical protection, thermal insulation, and buoyancy control. This technique can minimise shipping and handling damage repair costs and allow pipeline builders to operate more efficiently. A mobile coating facility is simple to set up and has the same output capacity as a stationary unit.

Threat:

Unfavourable weather conditions and harsh terrains

New pipelines erected in terrains such as rocky soil, mountains, steep slopes, rivers, and roads with wet, frozen, or silty/clay trench materials create new obstacles for coatings providers, especially during inclement weather. The pipelines are installed in many isolated regions during exceptionally cold weather. These places have less infrastructural development and provide less support for pipeline operation. Furthermore, as new and larger diameter pipes are built in distant locations with difficult terrains and climates, pipeline integrity is an issue. The pipeline integrity effort is centred on corrosion prevention. These considerations provide a barrier to pipeline coaters, and thus to industry growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The globe is facing a pandemic situation as a result of the new coronavirus's rapid spread. Several governments have declared a state of emergency in reaction to the current circumstances. As a result, several industries have experienced negative growth. The construction business experienced negative growth since it was completely inactive. The logistics and supply chains have been impacted. This resulted in a major decrease in the pipe coatings industry. However, following the lockdown, the market is expected to build up pace at a slow pace.

The thermoplastic polymer coatings segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The thermoplastic polymer coatings segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its excellent properties and a broad spectrum of applications in various end-use industries. This area has a large industry because these polymers offer several benefits such as resistance to chemicals and physical stress, high flexibility, and ease of application. The thermoplastic polymer coatings PE, PP, and PU, which are all extensively employed in polyolefin coatings, are among the most commonly used types of pipe coating. 3LPE coatings are currently widely used because they offer the benefits of thermoplastic polymer coatings and epoxy fusion bonded coatings.

The oil & gas segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The oil & gas segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The coatings for oil and gas applications are extremely resistant to high temperatures, chemicals, and corrosion. Pipes are required in the oil and gas industry for offshore and onshore petroleum production and refineries. The existence of the oil and gas industry in these countries produces a large demand for pipe coating goods. Furthermore, numerous oil-producing firms are investing more in boosting oil production to fulfil rising energy demand due to the booming population, creating even more need for pipe coating materials.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the constantly expanding demand for pipe coatings from end-use sectors, particularly water and wastewater treatment and oil and gas. In Asia-Pacific, the construction sector has been witnessing strong growth in countries such as India, China and Singapore, owing to which the demand for construction pipes has been increasing in the region. A growing environmental regulatory system, rising water demand, and a scarcity of fresh water supply have all contributed to the creation of new water treatment facilities in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, due to the easy access & abundance of shale gas and newly discovered reserves of oil. Countries in this region, including as the United States, Canada, and Mexico, are seeing a rapid increase in the use of pipe coatings by various end-use businesses. The increased need for pipes in end-use industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, and others is propelling the local pipe coatings sector. The United States is thought to be the fastest developing country in this region.
