到 2030 年軟管市場預測:按類型、原料類型、應用和地區進行的全球分析Flexible Pipes Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type (Flow Lines, Jumpers, Risers, Fluid Transfer Lines and Other Types), Raw Material Type, Application, and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,2023 年全球軟管市場規模為 12.19 億美元,預計到 2030 年將達到 18.819 億美元,預測期內年複合成長率為 6.4%。
軟性管道是專門設計的管道,可以彎曲和彎曲以適應不同的條件,例如海底運動或動態流體流動。它們由聚合物、金屬、增強材料等層組成,耐用且適應性強。其結構使其易於安裝和維護,減少停機時間和營運成本。即使在深海鑽井和海底生產等惡劣環境下,軟性管道也能確保流體輸送的完整性,而傳統的剛性管道在這些環境中不切實際或容易損壞。
據印度品牌股權基金會(IBEF)稱,2020會計年度印度可再生能源(天然氣)發電量達1,270.1億度。
擴大海底基礎建設投資
各國政府、石油公司和服務提供者正在分配大量資金來開發海底基礎設施,以高效、永續地獲取這些蘊藏量。這些投資是由對能源資源(特別是海上石油和天然氣)以及更深、更偏遠蘊藏量的探勘不斷成長的需求所推動的。此外,隨著技術進步不斷開採以前無法開採的深海資源,對軟性管道的需求預計將進一步增加。
初始投資高
軟性管道通常由特殊材料製成,需要先進的製造程序,這使得它們的製造成本比傳統的剛性管道更高。此外,安裝軟性管道可能需要專門的設備、技術純熟勞工和工程專業知識,這進一步增加了所需的初始投資。這種初始成本可能會成為市場成長的障礙。
技術進步
材料科學、製造流程和設計能力方面的創新有助於開發更耐用、多功能和高效的軟性管道。持續的研究和開發重點是改進軟性管道的設計,以提高其性能和使用壽命,同時最大限度地減少維護需求。這導致了加固結構、密封機制和連接技術的創新,進一步提高了軟性管道系統的可靠性和效率。
缺乏標準化
由於缺乏標準化測試和品質保證程序,這個問題變得更加複雜。如果沒有標準化的規格,軟管設計、材料和性能特徵可能會改變。這種一致性的缺乏使得買家很難有效地比較和評估產品。此外,缺乏全行業標準阻礙了軟性管道領域的創新和研究。
COVID-19 的影響
COVID-19的爆發對軟管市場產生了顯著的負面影響,主要是由於全球供應鏈中斷、計劃延誤以及對石油和天然氣產品的需求減少。由於封鎖、旅行限制和勞動力短缺導致供應鏈中斷,導致製造軟性管道所需的原料和零件的採購延誤。此外,由於需求減少和供應過剩導致油價下跌,進一步抑制了對通常使用軟性管道的海上石油和天然氣計劃的投資。
預計跳線產業在預測期內將是最大的
據估計,跨接器部分在海上石油和天然氣作業中佔據最大佔有率,因為它在促進採油樹、管匯、流線等各種海底組件之間的連接方面發揮關鍵作用。這些連接器可以快速、安全地連接到其他海底設備。此外,它還能夠彈性應對海底地形、熱膨脹以及由於設備安裝和拆除而引起的移動的變化,逐漸支持該細分市場的成長。
聚二氟亞乙烯領域預計在預測期內年複合成長率最高
由於這種熱塑性聚合物的獨特性能和應用佔據了該行業的很大一部分,預計聚二氟亞乙烯細分市場在預測期內將出現最高的年複合成長率。基於 PVDF 的軟性管道能夠耐受各種化學品和溶劑,使其適合輸送腐蝕性流體,例如碳氫化合物和化學品。此外,它們的彈性和易於安裝性能夠在惡劣的海洋條件下(包括深水和惡劣環境)進行高效部署,從而推動了該領域的成長。
由於海上石油和天然氣活動的擴大、能源需求的增加以及海底基礎設施開拓投資的增加,亞太地區在預測期內佔據了最大的市場佔有率。日本、中國和印度等國家對該地區的市場成長做出了重大貢獻。此外,該地區廣闊的海岸線和豐富的海洋蘊藏量為在淺水和深水計劃中部署軟性管道提供了豐富的機會,進一步增強了亞太地區對軟性管道的需求。
預計歐洲在預測期內的年複合成長率最高。歐洲擁有成熟的海上石油產業,在北海和其他近海盆地的探勘和生產有著悠久的歷史。軟性管道因其能夠承受該地區普遍存在的惡劣條件(例如波濤洶湧的海洋、極端溫度和腐蝕性環境)而被廣泛應用於這些作業中。此外,歐洲強大的法規結構,包括嚴格的安全和環境標準,保證了該地區部署的軟性管道系統的品質和可靠性。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Flexible Pipes Market is accounted for $1,219.0 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1,881.9 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. Flexible pipes are specially designed pipelines capable of bending and flexing to accommodate various conditions, such as seabed movements or dynamic fluid flows. Composed of layers including polymers, metals, and reinforcement materials, they offer durability and adaptability. Their construction allows for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Flexible pipes ensure fluid transportation integrity in challenging environments, such as deep-sea drilling or subsea production, where traditional rigid pipelines may be impractical or vulnerable to damage.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), power generation from renewable energy sources (natural gas) in India reached 127.01 billion units in FY20.
Growing subsea infrastructure investments
Governments, oil companies, and service providers are allocating substantial funds to develop subsea infrastructure to access these reserves efficiently and sustainably. These investments stem from the increasing demand for energy resources, particularly offshore oil and gas, and the exploration of deeper and more remote reserves. Moreover, as technological advancements continue to unlock previously inaccessible resources in deeper waters, the demand for flexible pipes is expected to rise further.
High initial investment
Flexible pipes are often made from specialized materials and require advanced manufacturing processes, which contributes to higher production costs compared to traditional rigid pipes. Additionally, the installation of flexible pipes may require specialized equipment, skilled labor, and engineering expertise, which further adds to the initial investment required. The upfront cost can be perceived as a barrier hindering market growth.
Technological advancements
Innovations in materials science, manufacturing processes, and design capabilities contribute to the development of more durable, versatile, and efficient flexible pipe solutions. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving the design of flexible pipes to enhance their performance and longevity while minimizing maintenance requirements. Thus, this includes innovations in reinforcement structures, sealing mechanisms, and connection technologies, further enhancing the reliability and efficiency of flexible pipe systems.
Lack of standardization
The absence of standardized testing and quality assurance procedures further compounds the issue. Without standardized specifications, there can be variations in the design, materials, and performance characteristics of flexible pipes. This lack of consistency makes it difficult for buyers to compare and evaluate products effectively. Additionally, the absence of industry-wide standards hampers innovation and research in the field of flexible pipes.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant negative impacts on the flexible pipe market, primarily due to disruptions in global supply chains, project delays, and decreased demand for oil and gas products. Supply chain disruptions, stemming from lockdowns, travel restrictions, and workforce shortages, have led to delays in the procurement of raw materials and components necessary for manufacturing flexible pipes. Moreover, the decline in oil prices resulting from reduced demand and oversupply has further dampened investment in offshore oil and gas projects, where flexible pipes are commonly used.
The jumpers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The jumpers segment is estimated to hold the largest share due to its crucial role in facilitating the connection between various subsea components, such as Christmas trees, manifolds, and flowlines, in offshore oil and gas operations. These connectors allow for quick and secure attachment to other subsea equipment. Additionally, they provide flexibility to accommodate movements caused by seabed topography changes, thermal expansion, and equipment installation or removal, thereby gradually propelling this segment's growth.
The polyvinylidene fluoride segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The polyvinylidene fluoride segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to a significant portion of the industry driven by the unique properties and applications of this thermoplastic polymer. PVDF-based flexible pipes are well-suited for conveying corrosive fluids, such as hydrocarbons and chemicals, due to their resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents. Moreover, they offer flexibility and ease of installation, enabling efficient deployment in challenging offshore conditions, including deepwater and harsh environments, which boosts this segment's expansion.
Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to the region's expanding offshore oil and gas activities, growing energy demand, and increasing investments in subsea infrastructure development. Countries such as Japan, China and India are key contributors to the market's growth in this region. Moreover, the region's vast coastline and extensive offshore reserves present abundant opportunities for flexible pipe deployment in both shallow and deepwater projects, further bolstering the demand for flexible pipes in the Asia Pacific region.
Europe is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period. Europe boasts a mature offshore oil and gas industry, with a long history of exploration and production in the North Sea and other offshore basins. Flexible pipes are widely utilized in these operations due to their ability to withstand the harsh conditions prevalent in the region, including rough seas, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments. Furthermore, Europe's strong regulatory framework, including stringent safety and environmental standards, ensures the quality and reliability of flexible pipe systems deployed in the region.
