The global drill pipe market size is projected to reach USD 2,895.2 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Significant oilfield expansions particularly in North America and the Middle East along with improving drilling techniques with enhanced productivity have been the key factors steering industry growth over the past few years.
The global drilling activity has been steadily increasing in recent years, particularly in emerging markets. This increased drilling activity has led to higher demand for drill pipes. Moreover, Technological advancements in drilling equipment have led to the development of more efficient and effective drilling processes, which in turn has increased the demand for higher quality and more durable drill pipes.
API grade drill pipes dominated the global drill pipes market in the grade segment and accounted for more than 63.0% overall revenue share in 2022. API (American Petroleum Institute) grade drill pipes have dominated the global drill pipe market due to several factors, including their standardized design, high quality, and reliability. The API has established a set of standards for drill pipes that ensures that they meet certain specifications for size, weight, strength, and other factors. This standardization has made it easier for manufacturers to produce drill pipes that meet the needs of drilling contractors and oil and gas companies around the world.
Onshore segment dominated the application segment for the global drill pipes market and accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 60.0% in 2022. Onshore drilling is generally less expensive and easier to access than offshore drilling, which requires specialized equipment and transportation. As a result, onshore drilling is more common and widespread than offshore drilling, and thus the onshore segment has dominated the application segment for the global drill pipes market.
Drill pipes are an essential component in onshore drilling operations, and are used to transmit drilling fluid, torque, and weight to the drill bit during the drilling process. They are designed to withstand high stress and pressure, and are subject to wear and tear over time. As onshore drilling activity has increased over the years, the demand for drill pipes has grown, driving the growth of the market.
North America dominated the regional segment and accounted for the overall revenue share of more than 26.0% in 2022. North America has dominated the regional segment of the drill pipes market due to several factors, including the presence of a large number of oil and gas reserves, a well-developed oil and gas industry, and advanced drilling technologies. The United States and Canada are major players in the global oil and gas industry, with significant reserves of both conventional and unconventional oil and gas. The development of unconventional resources, such as shale gas and tight oil, has been a major driver of drilling activity in North America, leading to a surge in demand for drill pipes.
In addition, North America has a well-established infrastructure to support drilling operations, including a vast network of pipelines, storage facilities, and refineries. This infrastructure enables the efficient transportation and processing of oil and gas, further driving the demand for drill pipes. Furthermore, North America is home to some of the world's leading drilling technology companies, which have developed advanced drilling technologies and equipment, including high-quality drill pipes. This has enabled drilling companies in the region to adopt innovative drilling techniques and improve drilling efficiency, further boosting the demand for drill pipes.
