The North America virtual pipeline equipment market size is projected to reach US$ 663.73 million by 2028 from US$ 431.97 million in 2022; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2022 to 2028.

The increase in energy demand is a key factor driving the market. In recent times, natural gas has gained prominence as it burns cleaner than conventional fossil fuels such as coal, gasoline, and diesel. Virtual pipelines allow natural gas companies to extend their reach beyond their local market, thereby allowing them to expand their footprint. Virtual pipelines are designed for the land transport of gas shipments in containers by rail or road; they can also be transported on the water in coastal tankers and river ships. These equipment can be employed to supply natural gas to power plants and private customers who cannot participate in pipeline development due to geological constraints.

According to the latest edition of the IEA's semi-annual report on electricity markets, the global energy demand increased by 6% in 2021 owing to rapid economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, around 61% of the utility-scale electricity generation in the US was generated from fossil fuels (natural gas, petroleum, and coal), 19% from nuclear energy, and remaining 20% was from renewable energy sources.

The virtual pipeline equipment market has been analyzed based on the following segments— equipment type, gas, application, and geography. Based on equipment type, the virtual pipeline equipment market is segmented into below decompression units, compression units, transportation units, dispensing units. The transportation units segment dominated the market due increasing demand for trailers at remote and rural locations. Based on gas, the virtual pipeline equipment market is segmented into CNG, hydrogen, RNG, and others. The CNG segment accounted for the largest share of the virtual pipeline equipment market in 2022. Based on application, the virtual pipeline equipment market is segmented into utility pipeline/pipeline repair, industrial, transportation, commercial & residential, and fracking. The transportation segment accounted for the largest share of the virtual pipeline equipment market in 2022.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Virtual Pipeline Equipment Market Analysis

 

The demand for liquid natural gas and hydrogen gas fell sharply due to widespread quarantine measures in various parts of the world, including North America. The decline in demand for LNG resulted in reduced need of towable trailers and truck carriers for virtual pipeline equipment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns slowed shipbuilding, construction of pipeline projects, and companies delayed final investment decisions (FIDs) on potential natural gas and hydrogen supply projects in 2020. Therefore, the North America virtual pipeline equipment market faced a supply shortfall in 2020. Virtual pipelines are essential in providing transportation services of natural gas for consumer and industrial uses.
