October 16, 2025 – New York, NY – The Steel Pipe Market Size is set to reach approximately US$300 billion by 2035, registering a consistent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.5% throughout the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. This robust performance is intrinsically linked to the dual global trends of rapid urban population expansion and the massive capital required for the worldwide transition to cleaner energy systems. The Asia-Pacific region, due to its extensive infrastructure development, remains the primary engine of global market growth, according to the latest report from The Insight Partners.

Market Momentum and Key Growth Drivers

The imperative sustains market growth to build and connect modern systems:

• Mass Urban Utility Connectivity: Exponential growth in urban centers requires the rapid deployment of steel pipe for city gas distribution (CGD), wastewater collection, and large-diameter water mains.
• Global Energy Grid Resilience: Investment in modernizing and securing vast energy transmission networks (oil, gas, and power generation) against physical and operational threats.
• Green Hydrogen Mobility: Early-stage demand for specialized steel tubing for refueling stations and high-pressure storage tanks supporting the emerging hydrogen vehicle and industrial market.
• Structural Applications in High-Rises: Increased use of high-strength tubular steel sections in modern building construction (commercial and residential) for superior structural load-bearing capabilities.
• E-Commerce Warehouse Expansion: Construction of large-scale logistics and distribution centers across all regions drives demand for fire-protection piping and structural hollow sections (SHS).

Recent News and Developments in the Steel Pipe Market

Sustainability and Manufacturing R&D Mark Key Advances:

• R&D for Environmental Compliance: Manufacturers are dedicating significant R&D spending to developing steel grades with inherent anti-corrosion properties, reducing the need for high-impact coatings and improving material longevity.
• Just-In-Time (JIT) Delivery Systems: Adoption of advanced supply chain logistics, including dedicated port and rail links, to facilitate Just-In-Time delivery of massive pipe sections for remote infrastructure projects, minimizing on-site storage costs.
• Hydrogen Embrittlement Mitigation: Successful field testing of new internal coating and material treatment processes to prevent hydrogen embrittlement, a critical hurdle for using existing pipe networks to transport blended or pure hydrogen.

Key Collaborations and Major Players

To efficiently capture market share in high-growth utility segments, a key strategy involves forming consortiums between pipe manufacturers, construction firms, and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies. These alliances offer clients fully integrated 'design-to-installation' solutions for large municipal water and sewage projects, streamlining project delivery.

The leading players operating in the global Steel Pipe Market include:

• ArcelorMittal
• Cimco Europe
• IPP Group
• JFE Steel Corporation
• NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION
• Techint Group
• Tenaris
• VALLOUREC
• ZAFFERTEC S.L.

Future Outlook: The Steel Spine of the Modern World

The market will be characterized by sustained geopolitical risk, necessitating a shift toward regionalized production and procurement to ensure supply security. The dual demand from traditional oil and gas (for integrity) and the new energy sectors (for specialization) means manufacturers must remain agile, focusing equally on volume for urbanization and precision for decarbonization.

Market Analysis from The Insight Partners

"Steel pipe is the circulatory system of the modern economy, connecting energy sources to consumers and water to cities," said an analyst at The Insight Partners. "The market’s durability is unquestionable, but future profits will accrue to the players who successfully bridge the gap between high-volume standard product and high-specification green technology."
