Pipeline Network Market Report 2025

The pipeline network market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.04 billion in 2024 to $10.6 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development, economic growth, technological advancements, regulatory changes, energy demand.

The pipeline network market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability initiatives, geopolitical factors, market liberalization, digitalization, renewable energy integration. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards renewable energy sources, increased adoption of smart pipeline technologies, expansion of natural gas infrastructure, integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and enhanced focus on pipeline safety and security.

The forecast of 5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through delays in acquiring large-diameter pipe from Japan and compression station controls from Switzerland, potentially slowing infrastructure expansion projects. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The anticipated growth of the pipeline network market is driven by the increasing production of oil. Oil production typically involves the extraction or pumping of crude oil from underground reservoirs or oil wells. The rise in oil production is a response to the growing global energy demand and geopolitical considerations. The objective is to meet increasing fuel and petrochemical needs, supporting economic development and energy security. Pipeline networks play a crucial role in oil production by efficiently transporting crude oil from extraction sites to refineries and distribution centers, ensuring a cost-effective and reliable supply chain. For example, in May 2023, the Energy Information Administration reported a 5.6% growth in U.S. crude oil production in 2022, representing an increase of 0.6 million barrels per day compared to the previous year, reaching an average of 11.9 million barrels per day. New Mexico set a record for the state with a 0.3 million barrels per day increase to 1.6 million barrels per day in 2022. Thus, the growing oil production is a key driver for the growth of the pipeline network market.

Leading companies in the pipeline network market are focusing on creating innovative solutions, such as the Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA), to promote environmental sustainability, enhance operational efficiency, and comply with stringent emissions reduction regulations. A Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (EHA) is a cutting-edge system designed to manage hydraulic mechanisms without emitting direct pollutants, aligning with eco-friendly and sustainable operations. For example, in August 2023, Automation Technology, Inc. (ATI), a US-based company specializing in automation solutions for the oil and gas industry, introduced a Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic Actuator solution aimed at eliminating the carbon footprint of pipeline operations. This advanced system is self-contained and integrates power directly with the actuator, available in both spring-return and double-acting configurations. These innovations are designed to help the industry transition to greener operations while meeting environmental regulations. The actuator provides high thrust and torque for quick and precise valve control, while also incorporating fail-safe mechanisms to ensure safety.

In November 2023, ExxonMobil, a U.S.-based natural gas company, completed the acquisition of Denbury Inc. for $4.9 billion. This strategic move positions ExxonMobil as the largest owner and operator of CO2 (carbon dioxide) pipelines in the U.S., significantly enhancing its capacity to transport CO2 to various industrial facilities for carbon capture and storage applications. Denbury Inc., an independent oil and natural gas company based in the U.S., operates the world's largest CO2 pipeline network.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are heavily impacting the oil and gas industry, especially in areas such as exploration equipment, pipeline development, and refining operations. Increased import duties on drilling rigs, steel pipes, and specialized machinery have significantly raised capital expenditures across both upstream and downstream segments. Midstream players are grappling with cost surges for essential components like valves, compressors, and storage tanks, causing delays and disruptions in expansion projects. Refiners, meanwhile, are contending with higher expenses for imported catalysts and control systems critical to operational efficiency. In addition, retaliatory tariffs from major trade partners have curtailed U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil, reducing global competitiveness. In response, companies are ramping up investments in domestic manufacturing alliances, digital asset management tools, and diversified energy portfolios to maintain resilience and protect profitability.

A pipeline network denotes a system of interconnected pipes established for the conveyance of fluids or gases, encompassing substances such as crude oil and refined petroleum products, from one location to another. The primary objective is to facilitate the efficient and secure transmission of fluids over long distances while minimizing loss or contamination.

The key offerings within a pipeline network include solutions, operation management and control, surveillance and security, communication systems, pipeline Geographic Information System (GIS) software, and services such as consulting, integration and deployment, training, and others. A solution refers to a combination of products and services tailored to address specific challenges or needs. These are applicable to various content, such as gas pipelines and liquid pipelines, serving diverse purposes such as pipeline monitoring and optimization of pipeline operations. These offerings find application across various end-user industries, including crude and refined petroleum, water and wastewater, among others.
