World Steel Pipe Industry
From: Freedonia Group, Cleveland, OH/USA, http://www.freedoniagroup.com/
Date: Feb 2016
This report offers historical demand data (2004, 2009 and 2014) plus forecasts (2019 and 2024) by application for six world regions and 19 major countries. The study considers market environment factors, examines the industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 25 industry players worldwide.
Global demand for steel pipe is forecast to advance 3.5 percent per annum through 2019 to 79.7 million metric tons, with growth paced by continued strong increases in developing markets. The pace of gains will decelerate from that of the 2009-2014 period as construction activity slows in China and numerous other developing countries, and oil and gas exploration moderates in North America after a period of rapid growth. The oil and gas market is the dominant application for steel pipe. Steel makes up the vast majority of pipe used in oil and gas transportation and especially production due to its high strength and pressure and thermal resistance. Demand for oil and gas pipe saw healthy growth between 2009 and 2014, driven by growth in China and North America; however, advances are expected to decelerate because of slowing exploration and drilling due to already high production and lower oil prices.
Steel pipe also sees significant usage in construction markets, where it is used in a variety of applications, such as conduit, sewer, and drainage. However, unlike the oil and gas market, steel exhibits lower penetration in most applications due to price and performance advantages of other materials such as plastic.
China, by far the world’s largest national market, with 30 percent of global demand in 2014, was a primary driver of demand growth for steel pipe between 2004 and 2014. Expansion across all steel pipe markets, especially in OEM, structural, mechanical, and construction applications, sparked global steel pipe demand.

Middle East Spiral Welded Pipes Market Outlook 2021
From: Expeditious Research and Consulting Pvt. Ltd., Noida, India,
http://www.expeditiousresearch.com/
Date: Jan 2016
The HSAW (helically submerged arc welded) / Spiral pipes market in the Middle East region is anticipated to flourish at a healthy rate during the forecast period of 2015-2021 backed up by the increasing infrastructural developments in most of the countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia and U.A.E. In addition to that announcement of major upcoming pipeline projects in the Middle East would further bid to boost the HSAW pipe market of the region.
Countrywise, Saudi Arabia is anticipated to have the largest market share of HSAW pipes followed by U.A.E. According to ERC, Saudi Arabia spiral welded pipe market (by volume) would witness the highest CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) of 7.3 %. Citing the fact that there is a larger room for the utilization of existing desalination capacity in future and less requirement for the expansion of desalination plants, the market (by volume) of HSAW pipes in U.A.E. is anticipated to grow at a modest CAGR of 5.5% during the covered forecast period.
The HSAW pipes production in Iran declined drastically in the past few years owing to international sanctions. However, after the removal of sanction in 2016-2017, Iran is anticipated to get a boom in the HSAW pipes market.
Further, Qatar would also emerge as one of the major attractive markets of HSAW pipes in Middle East attributing to some of the major upcoming infrastructural projects like Doha Metro and FIFA world cup 2022.
The major challenge that stands in front of the HSAW pipes market of the Middle East is the declining oil prices in the international market, which has withdrawn most of the major industry players from investing in the exploration and production activities in the oil & gas sector. This has further led to the postponement and cancellation of major ongoing and upcoming pipeline projects in the region.
The HSAW pipe industry includes major players like Saudi Steel Pipe Company, Jindal SAW Ltd., Gerab National Enterprises, Attieh Steel Ltd., Arabian Pipes Company, National Pipe Company Ltd. etc.
