Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction Market Report 2026

The oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $262.5 billion in 2025 to $270.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global energy demand, expansion of crude oil and natural gas production, reliance on traditional pipeline construction methods, increasing need for pipeline repair projects, development of major cross-border pipeline routes.

The oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $321.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investment in midstream infrastructure expansion, growing focus on environmentally responsible pipeline construction, increasing deployment of automated monitoring systems, expansion of offshore energy transport networks, heightened emphasis on pipeline modernization initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing construction of onshore and offshore pipeline networks, rising demand for pipeline rehabilitation and repair activities, expansion of crude oil and natural gas transportation capacity, growing development of storage facilities and supporting structures, higher emphasis on compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

The growing investment in infrastructure is anticipated to drive the expansion of the oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market in the coming years. Infrastructure encompasses the essential facilities, systems, and structures necessary for the effective functioning of a region, country, or organization, including areas such as transportation, communication, water and sewage, energy, and public institutions. The construction of oil and gas pipelines and related structures plays a crucial role in enhancing infrastructure by enabling energy transportation and distribution. For example, in February 2024, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, a UK-based government agency, reported that the planned investment of £164 billion ($214.18 billion) in major infrastructure and construction projects for 2024/25 exceeds that of 2023/24. Over the next decade, total projected investments are expected to reach between £700 billion ($914.16 billion) and £775 billion ($1,012.11 billion). Thus, the increasing investment in infrastructure is propelling the growth of the oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market.

Major companies operating in the oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as electro-hydraulic actuators, to revolutionize pipeline operations. An Electro-Hydraulic Actuator converts electrical energy into mechanical motion using hydraulic pressure. For instance, in August 2023, Automation Technology, Inc., a US-based provider of valve automation solutions, introduced a Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic actuator solution. This aims to eliminate the carbon footprint linked with pipeline operations, offering a comprehensive solution to reduce emissions without relying on pipeline gas as the primary power source. This innovative solution contributes to zero methane and VOC emissions for emergency shutdown valves.

In March 2023, STRACON Group, a US-based company, acquired AMECO's South America business from Fluor Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables STRACON to enhance its portfolio by leveraging Fluor's expertise in constructing structures related to oil and gas pipelines. Fluor Corporation, based in Ireland, specializes in services related to oil refineries and pipelines.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction market by driving up the cost of imported steel, specialized valves, sensors, and heavy construction equipment, resulting in higher project expenditures and slower deployment across upstream, midstream, and downstream pipeline segments. Onshore pipelines in North America and Europeregions heavily dependent on imported steelare most affected, while offshore projects face additional cost pressure from imported subsea components. However, tariffs are also stimulating domestic steel production and encouraging regional manufacturing investments, which may enhance long-term supply stability and reduce dependency on foreign materials.
