The global virtual pipeline systems market was valued US$ 1,191.59 million in 2022, it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% 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. The world is facing serious repercussions of global warming, which is compelling a shift toward cleaner energy sources and natural gas. 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 systems 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 semiannual report on electricity markets, the global energy demand increased by ~5% in 2021 after a drop of 1% in 2020 as an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand is expected to grow by 4% in 2022, mainly due to a recovering global economy, with Asia Pacific leading the way. According to a report by the International Energy Agency, electricity demand in the Asia Pacific region grew by 8% in 2021, compared with a low of 2% in 2020. China and India mainly drive this growth, and both registered a significant increase in electricity demand. . Except for Japan, most countries in the region are expected to continue to grow in demand for energy through 2024. Thus, the rising energy demands further augment the need for virtual pipeline systems, driving the market over the forecast period.

The virtual pipeline systems market study primarily focuses on two segments—type, gas, pressure rating, and application. Based on the type segment, the virtual pipeline systems market is subsegmented into standard trailer and towable trailer.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Virtual Pipeline Systems Market

 

COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the global virtual pipeline systems market. The COVID-19 outbreak impacted oil & gas and energy development in Asian countries such as India and China. China is one of the biggest importers of compressed natural gas and other gases. China witnessed the lowest gas consumption rate due to high import prices, slowing economic growth, mainly hampered because of COVID-19 lockdowns. With gas supply growth harder hit by the impact of COVID-19, buyers will have to increasingly look to existing CNG and LNG supply to secure future long-term deliveries. Less LNG will be available for short-term and spot purchases when more countries wish to increase imports.

Market Insights – Virtual Pipeline Systems Market

Rising Shale Gas Extraction

Continuous advancements in shale drilling technologies have made shales the next reliable energy resource. Shale gas can be utilized as a greener energy option in countries that are dependent on coal as an energy source, as it emits less carbon than coal. Shale gas production has resulted in the abundance of natural gas supply worldwide. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the unproven, theoretically recoverable shale gas potential of the US is estimated to be 482 trillion cubic feet. Shale gas output in the country surged 12 folds in the previous decade, and the growth is likely to continue until 2035, which would continue to favor the growth of virtual pipeline vendors. Further, several governments worldwide are collaborating with new smaller agencies for gas transportation. In October 2018, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation awarded a contract to a private company (undisclosed) to build a virtual pipeline system. The project is designed to deliver ~84 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d).
