Market Dynamics

Global Piping System and Piping Spools Market Drivers

Growing Exploration and Drilling Activities for Oil around the Globe

The increasing global demand for fossil fuels is one of the primary factors driving the expansion of the global piping system and piping spools market. The increased demand for fossil fuel or oil due to increased exploration and drilling activities in the oil and gas industries, increasing demand for more pipe spools, is expected to drive the market growth. Many oil companies and governments are also focusing on new oil and gas exploration and drilling to remain ahead of the competition and meet the growing oil demand worldwide.

Rising Use of Pipes and Fittings in End Applications

The market expansion is forecasted to be driven by the rising demand for piping spools from end-user industries such as the chemical and energy sectors. Demand for piping spools is predicted to rise alongside the global increase in the construction of power plants. Significant players in industrial projects provide pipe spool fabrication services. For example, COOEC-Fluor Corporation, a joint venture of Fluor Corporation, announced that it would make products for Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company (KIPIC) in Kuwait. All these elements should contribute to expanding the worldwide market for piping systems and piping spools.

Global Piping System and Piping Spools Market Restraint

Fluctuation in Raw Material Prices

Piping spool manufacturers frequently use stainless steel and other alloys as their primary raw materials. Raw materials, such as metals, have highly fluctuating market prices. The price/cost of piping spools and the manufacturer's profitability are susceptible to fluctuations in the cost of raw materials. For instance, if the price of steel, aluminum, or super alloys suddenly skyrockets, that could impact the cost of the spools and, thus, on demand for the piping system. Even if the manufacturer does not pass on the price increase, the company's profitability will suffer. Furthermore, key material suppliers are typically large enterprises with the ability to pass on their higher commodity costs, which leads to an increase in the prices of the materials, thereby increasing the prices of the inputs. As a result, fluctuating raw material prices are expected to impede the growth of the piping system and piping spools market.

Global Piping System and Piping Spools Market Opportunities

Technological Advancement in Piping System and Piping Spool

Pipe spools are a type of prefabricated piping component and are created using flanges and bolts for connecting pipes. In addition, it combines the pipes with fabrication services using butt weld. Elbows, flanges, and tees are all functional fitting components. New technologies like GPS, RFID, and WSN (wireless sensor network) are being incorporated into construction projects to enhance fabrication services. Spool welding robots (SWRs) are available from major manufacturers for use with pipe spools. For instance, spool welding SWR was made public by Abicor Binzel Production Pvt. Limited, a division of Alexander Binzel Schweisstechnik GmbH Co. KG. It employs cutting-edge welding science. The company provides all three types of arc welding: gas metal arc (GMAW), metal core arc (FCAW), and flux cored arc (FCAW) (MCAW). Potentially lucrative opportunities for the market are expected to arise due to all of these factors.

Segmental Analysis

The global piping system and piping spools market is segmented by material and end-user.

Based on material, the global market is bifurcated into stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and others.

The carbon steel segment is the highest contributor to the market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.92% during the forecast period. As an alloy, carbon steel is made by combining steel and carbon in proportions of up to 2.5% carbon. High tensile strength and durability are two characteristics shared by carbon steel pipe spools. In addition, carbon steel is becoming increasingly popular as a material for modular process skids because of its many benefits, which include accelerated project completion, lower costs, better quality fabrication, fewer safety concerns, fewer space needs, greater portability, and enhanced security.

Furthermore, the chances of deformation and wall thinning of the cross-section are reduced when carbon steel piping is bent using an induction heater. Even more impressive, a spool of carbon steel pipe was made available by industry heavyweights like Prosaic Steel and Alloys and Kalpataru Piping Solutions. Such as the A106 GR B carbon steel pipe spools that Kalpataru Piping Solutions provided.

The advantages of stainless-steel pipe spools include their resistance to corrosion, attractive appearance, resistance to temperature changes, robustness, and durability. The most popular material for making pipe spools is stainless steel. Superior performance is provided by stainless steel pipe spools, which are resistant to dents and cracks. Furthermore, major players like Prosaic Steel and Alloys, Haihao Group, and others deal in producing stainless steel pipe spools. For instance, the Haihao Group provided steel pipes with a 3PE anti-corrosion coating. Up to 50 years of use is possible with this pipe.
