Indian Pipe Industry, Q2 2011
Credit Analysis & Research Limited, June 2011, Pages: 104
India has become the global pipe manufacturing hub especially of large diameter SAW pipes primarily due to its lower cost, high quality and geographical advantages. Additionally, Indian companies have acquired global accreditations and certifications which make them preferred suppliers to most of the world's top oil and gas companies in the Middle East, North America and Europe.
CARE Research believes that with the worst of financial crisis behind us along with increasing energy demand from emerging markets coupled with crude oil prices breaching the US$100 per barrel benchmark, global exploration and production (E&P) is back in full swing leading to increased demand for SAW and seamless pipes. This new spurt in demand will be positive for future growth.
CARE Research's report on ‘Indian Pipe Industry' gives valuable insight on the industry and on global and domestic capacities, demand-supply gap analysis of domestic market, export market for domestic companies, replacement demand, competition and commentary on top industry players. We have estimated demand break-up within each segment of steel pipes like SAW, ERW, seamless and also DI pipes. For SAW pipes, our demand forecasting is derived from several upcoming pipeline projects globally and in India in addition to the replacement demand from matured markets. For ERW pipes, which are primarily used for City Gas Distribution (CGD) network, we have calculated our demand based on several ongoing natural gas pipeline projects in India by both private and public sector companies.
For seamless pipes which are extensively used for E&P projects; our demand is based on onshore and offshore metreage drilled. Additionally, we have detailed analysis on PVC and HDPE plastic pipes which have become preferred material in the construction industry and several government projects. The cost analysis and pricing information presented in the report will help the reader identify the critical cost items and their trends. The company overview section in the report provides detailed profiles of the top seven players in the industry, including their financial and operational data and product range. The report also provides manufacturing process and technical aspects in the industry overview section. The report provides CARE Research's Outlook and challenges on Indian pipe industry for the next 3-5 years along with a detailed demand break-up within each sub-segment of steel pipes. CARE Research has developed a robust methodology for forecasting domestic demand. It takes into account several initiatives undertaken by the Indian government to provide basic water supply and sanitation and also emphasizes on oil and gas sector expansion plans which serves as a backbone to the pipe industry as a whole.
