MARKET ANALYSIS

Fiberglass pipes are manufactured by contact molding or filament winding process, using glass fiber reinforcement and resin systems such as polyester, epoxy, and phenolic resin. Fiberglass pipes have been commonly used to transport petroleum products and natural gas. Fiberglass pipes are composite pipes with excellent resistance against corrosive environments, including soils, hydrocarbons, salt water, H2S, and chemical compounds, which can be encountered in any oil field. Fiberglass pipes are extremely durable, have a small friction coefficient, and exhibit less wear, due to which it is highly preferred in oil and gas applications. Fiberglass pipe is an excellent and cost-efficient choice for water supply and wastewater applications, with long-term maintenance and low pump operating costs due to corrosion-related friction loss.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The increasing installation of oil & gas pipelines across the globe has aided the market growth of fiberglass pipes. Fiberglass pipes are considered a reliable and cost-effective alternative to steel pipes for onshore and offshore corrosion control in the low to high-pressure oil & gas sector. The oil & gas industry is reporting increasing fuel demand due to rapid economic growth and rising oil utilization for applications such as feedstock and power generation. In 2021, Russia was among the top five largest energy producers and consumers in the world, producing 595.2 million tons of crude oil, of which 286.6 million tons were exported, according to the report published by Bruegel AISBL in 2023. The report also revealed that crude oil is exported by two main routes—pipeline and oil tanker at sea. According to the report released by Center for Eastern Studies in 2023, the government of Russia planned to boost the gas exports to China accounting for shipment of 98 billion cubic meters of gas per year, partially achieved through a planned Power of Siberia-2 pipeline, by 2030. Moreover, the rising demand for fiberglass pipes from chemical industry is another factor aiding the growth of fiberglass pipes. The fluctuation in prices of raw materials poses a challenge to the fiberglass pipes market.  Fiberglass is extensively used in several industries such as energy, electronics, automotive, transportation, construction materials, and infrastructure building materials, due to its high strength, lightweight, and design flexibility. The cost of raw materials, fuel, and labor increased significantly in 2021, which raised the fiberglass production costs.
