A key factor shaping the market is the development of pipelines for transporting hydrogen. The expanding trend of building pipelines for transporting hydrogen is a significant development in the global market. In addition, hydrogen is essential for the decarbonizing industry and reaching environmental objectives. Therefore, the need for green hydrogen, which is created by electrolysis utilizing renewable energy sources, is fuelling this trend.
Moreover, countries like Japan are making investments in hydrogen infrastructure with plans to use pipelines to transfer hydrogen from production centers to consumption hubs. Furthermore, the shift in development in the energy sector is the adaptation of the pipeline transport sector as businesses and governments throughout the world embrace hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The oil and gas segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Oil and gas production has historically been a significant factor in the global market. Government programs have played a major role in forming this sector. For instance, the Biden administration in the United States has raised controls and limits on new oil and gas pipelines as a result of its emphasis on clean energy and environmental sustainability.

North America is estimated to contribute 48% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
One of the major factors contributing to the market in the region is the economic expansion in countries such as the US, Canada, Mexico, and others.In addition, the market in North America has recently shown resilience and development. Moreover, several initiatives from the government were essential in creating this situation. For example, the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 improved safety standards and regulatory predictability, boosting investor confidence. Hence, such factors are driving the market in North America during the forecast period.
One of the key factors driving the market is the environmentally friendly nature of pipelines as a mode of transport. A key factor fuelling is the conviction that pipelines are a more environmentally friendly means of transportation than alternatives like shipping or trucking. In addition, the selection is mostly attributable to pipelines' smaller carbon footprint and lessened environmental impact.
For example, compared to trucks and ships, pipelines create fewer greenhouse emissions per unit of goods delivered. As a result, this makes pipelines a desirable alternative for the transportation of oil, natural gas, and other energy resources because it is in line with efforts made on a global scale to combat climate change and reduce emissions. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
The high cost of maintenance of pipeline and transportation infrastructure is one of the key challenges hindering the market. Pipelines require routine maintenance to maintain their reliability, safety, and efficiency because they frequently travel through a variety of terrains over great distances. In addition, inspections, corrosion control, leak repairs, damage repairs, and compliance with developing safety rules are all maintenance costs that necessitate significant financial outlays.
For example, the US, which has one of the largest pipeline networks worldwide, has to pay billions of dollars in maintenance expenses every year. In addition, due to specialized equipment and environmental considerations, pipelines in distant or environmentally sensitive places, including Arctic regions or water crossings, involve significantly greater costs. As a result, this financial load may have an adverse effect on the profitability of pipeline operators, reducing the accessibility and long-term viability of pipeline transportation as a means of delivering resources and energy. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the growth. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
