Market Growth Factors

The spoolable pipes market is projected to grow as the demand for cost-effective and efficient fluid transport systems in remote and harsh environments increases. Growth in the oil and gas market has particularly driven demand for spoolable pipes due to their flexibility and ease of installation in harsh environments. As reported in industry publications, global oil supply rose by 240 kb/d from February to March 2025, highlighting the need for pipelines in hard-to-reach areas.

The development of stronger and more resistant materials that improve the performance and lifespan of pipes is another factor driving the growth of spoolable pipes. The advancement of eco-friendly industrial alternatives is also increasing this market. Their ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures also contributes to positive market perceptions.

In the United States, the demand is driven by investment in the energy grid, including renewable energy infrastructure. The US accounted for 15% of global renewable energy investment, for which spoolable pipes are being used to transport both renewable (geothermal and biogas) and fossil fuels. Ease of deployment in remote and extreme offshore environments, together with operational security, are other factors expected to drive demand.

The growth in production of tight oil, oil sands, and EOR (improved oil recovery), all require the use of flexible, high performance and low cost liquid pipelines. An estimated 1.3 million b/d of liquid fuel production growth occurs in 2025 and 1.2 million b/d in 2026. Because of their corrosion resistance and ductility, energy operators are increasingly using spoolable pipes as an alternative to conventional pipeline systems in both upstream and midstream applications.

In addition, the energy transition has also shifted demand to hydrogen and CO2 transportation; in the US, 68 million tons of CO2 are transported annually, mostly by pipelines. Spoolable pipes, such as thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs), are also seen as a good option for hydrogen blending and carbon capture applications due to their impermeability and chemical compatibility. Certification and materials compatibility are needed to promote uptake.

The increasing throughput of mining operations has used spoolable pipes for slurry, tailings, and pit dewatering. They are favored for being resistant to abrasion and corrosion, as well as to changes in pressure, and their low maintenance requirements. For example, India has 2036 mines (as of FY24 provisional). There is an active requirement for the flexible piping to minimize downtimes and increase the transport efficiency.
