Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Market Report 2026

The oil country tubular goods (octg) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.64 billion in 2025 to $34.56 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing onshore oil and gas exploration, rising offshore drilling activities, demand for high-strength casing and tubing, adoption of api grade standards, growth in global oil consumption.

The oil country tubular goods (octg) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing offshore oil exploration projects, growth of unconventional oil and gas drilling, rising demand for premium grade octg, adoption of advanced erw and seamless processes, expansion of oilfield services and drilling activities. Major trends in the forecast period include high-strength tubular goods manufacturing, corrosion-resistant coatings development, advanced seamless tubing technologies, custom tubing solutions for onshore and offshore applications, enhanced drilling performance and efficiency.

Rising exploration and drilling activity is expected to support the expansion of the oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market. Oil and gas exploration involves the techniques and processes used to locate potential drilling sites and extract hydrocarbons. Growing global energy demand has accelerated oilfield exploration efforts. OCTG products - including casing, tubing, piping, and pipelines - are essential in oilfield operations. They form critical components in well design and serve as conduits for the safe and efficient extraction of oil and gas. For example, in October 2023, Drilling Contractor reported that the U.S. onshore market was projected to have 676 active drilling rigs in Q4 2023, representing a 4% increase from the 651 rigs recorded in Q4 2022. Therefore, increasing exploration and drilling operations are helping drive the OCTG market.

Companies in the OCTG industry are forming strategic partnerships to expand product offerings and improve supply chain performance, particularly in key regions such as Brazil’s pre-salt fields. These collaborations focus on supplying advanced OCTG solutions for exploration and production wells. For instance, in January 2023, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. partnered with Vallourec S.A. to supply OCTG products, including 1,800 tonnes of premium carbon steel tubes with glass-reinforced epoxy liners and corrosion-resistant alloy accessories, under an extension of an existing long-term contract.

In January 2023, Vallourec S.A. also partnered with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. to supply high-quality tubular products, accessories, and services for offshore drilling projects in Brazil’s pre-salt oil fields. The collaboration aims to ensure dependable delivery of seamless and welded casing, tubing, and corrosion-resistant alloy tubulars to support offshore production goals. Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. is Brazil’s national oil company, involved in exploration, production, refining, and distribution of oil, gas, and related energy products.
