The spoolable pipes market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the spoolable pipes market has seen substantial growth, and it is anticipated to expand from a value of $1.63 billion in 2024 to $1.72 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The notable expansion during the historical timeframe is largely due to a surge in demand from the oil and gas sector, advancements made in composite materials, enlargement in pipeline infrastructure, an increase in exploration and production activities, and improvements in cost and time efficiency.
The Spoolable Pipes market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for spoolable pipes is anticipated to experience significant growth in the years ahead. Its growth is projected to reach $2.19 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%.
The expansion projected within the forecasted time frame can be credited to proliferating energy infrastructure development, rising demand for flexible pipeline systems, prioritization of environmental sustainability, infrastructure enlargement in evolving regions, and surge in offshore and subsea uses. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in production processes, projects associated with renewable energy, expanding applications in water management, rising preference for lightweight and flexible pipes, emphasis on pipeline safety and dependability.
The growth of the spoolable pipes market is predicted to be driven by a surge in demand for oil and gas. These fossil fuels, extracted from beneath the Earth's crust and used primarily for energy and industrial uses, are increasingly needed due to their critical role in activities such as transportation, heating, electricity generation, and industrial expansion, as well as factors like population growth, urbanization, and the demand for petrochemicals. Spoolable pipes, employed in oil and gas production drilling, storage and transportation systems, are seen as trustworthy methods for carrying hydrocarbons, refined fuels, and chemical products owing to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance and resistance to paraffin accumulation. For example, in April 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated the most substantial increase in natural gas consumption among U.S. economic sectors in 2023 was from the electric power sector. This was a 7% rise, leading to an increase of 2.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), which pushed the total from 33.2 Bcf/d in 2022 to a new record of 35.4 Bcf/d. Consequently, this growing demand for oil and gas is likely to accelerate the expansion of the spoolable pipes market.

Key players in the spoolable pipe market are concentrating on the creation of cutting-edge products like thermoplastic composite flexible pipes. These products offer improved durability, resistance to corrosion, and versatility for a wide range of uses. Manufactured from thermoplastic materials and additional composite reinforcements, thermoplastic composite flexible pipes serve as lightweight, robust pipe systems. They provide flexibility and tolerance to harsh conditions for use in sectors such as oil and gas, water management, and construction. For example, in May 2024, DNV, a company located in Norway, introduced DNV-ST-F207. This standard was initiated to aid the utilization of Hybrid Thermoplastic Composite Flexible Pipes (TCPs) in deepwater operations. It aims to tackle issues like high tension and corrosive environments, and encourages the adoption of innovative materials like carbon fiber armor to heighten safety and efficiency in offshore projects.
