The increase in demand for pre-insulated pipes in the construction and industrial sectors is notably driving the market growth. The growth in the global construction, industrial, and agricultural sectors has been significant over recent years. The global construction industry is growing due to increasing investments in infrastructural projects worldwide. The increasing number of projects in the infrastructure and commercial development sectors has fueled the demand for pre-insulated pipes in the construction industry.
Pre-insulated pipes also find extensive applications in various industries, including chemical, energy production, automotive, oil and gas, and electronics. These pipes with their internal and external insulated surfaces, resist breakage, leakage, and corrosion, even when exposed to humid or cold environments and vibrations. Such benefits are increasing the application of pre-insulated pipes across end-user industries, which is driving the growth of the market.
The increase in demand in ultra-deep offshore oilfields is an emerging trend in the market. Over the years, oil and gas E&P companies have expanded their operations from deep to ultra-deep drilling. The decline in oil prices has led these companies to adopt cost-effective solutions, particularly for ultra-deep drilling. To meet the evolving requirements in the oil and gas sector, market Companies are delivering cost-effective technologies and products that are customized according to the requirements of oil and gas companies that drill in ultra-deep waters.
For instance, LOGSTOR Denmark Holding ApS offers Single Pipe. It is a thermal pre-insulated pipe for shallow water depths of 250 meters and facilitates the cost-effective installation of offshore oil and gas pipes. The product uses a special combination of high-density polyethylene outer casing, polyurethane foam, and other patented technologies, which makes it highly durable and stable. With ongoing innovations and rising investments in ultra-deep offshore oilfields, the demand is expected to increase during the forecast period.
The volatility in the prices of raw materials is a major challenge impeding market growth. Pre-insulated pipes are made of raw materials such as steel stainless steel, copper, and plastic. The prices of these raw materials are highly volatile. In the last few years, the price of copper has been fluctuating due to factors such as low demand, closure of major smelters, constrained supply, and stringent government policies.
The steel market is also highly volatile due to the imbalance in supply and demand for steel. Although the steel market is reshaping, the continuous need for a surplus supply of steel is a long-term challenge for the industry. The highly volatile nature of the prices of these raw materials is adversely affecting the growth of the market.
