[184 Pages Report] The Composites in Oil & Gas Market size was estimated at USD 3.39 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.61 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.69% to reach USD 5.34 billion by 2030.
The composites market in the oil & gas industry refers to a diverse range of advanced materials adoption that offer innovative properties such as high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and durability. These composites are employed across various segments within the oil & gas sector, such as exploration, extraction, production, transportation, refining, and storage. The applications range from structural components such as pipes and tanks to lightweight equipment for offshore platforms and high-pressure vessels. The growth of the composites in oil & gas industry is increasing as the use of composites in the manufacturing process and steel piping is increasing, as it is considered for pre-tensioning, post-tensioning, and reinforcing concrete. Furthermore, the rising need for non-corrosive and lightweight materials in the oil & gas industry is propelling the composites market. However, declination in adopting composites due to widespread conservatism and limited performance in hostile offshore environments is penetrating the market growth. To capitalize on the growth opportunities within this market, manufacturers are focusing on adopting glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites and introducing downhole composites with advanced features.

Matrix Materials: Rising use of aramid fibers for its high tensile strength and dynamic structures
Aramid fibers are a type of synthetic fiber known for their strength and heat resistance properties as they are lightweight, making them suitable for reinforcing composites. Compared to other reinforcement materials such as glass or steel, carbon fibers offer a unique combination of high-strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. Epoxy resins are widely utilized as matrix materials in composites due to their excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability properties. Glass fibers are a cost-effective alternative to carbon and aramid fibers, offering good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance properties. Phenolic resins provide excellent fire resistance characteristics, which make them ideal matrix materials when fire safety is a critical concern, such as offshore platforms or processing facilities where flammable substances are processed or stored. Polymer-based matrix materials such as thermoplastics are employed in applications that require chemical resistance, ease of processing, and recyclability.
Product Type: Consumer preference for superior strength and corrosion resistance resins
Glass Reinforced Epoxy Resin (GRE) is a composite material consisting of epoxy resin and glass fibers, offering high strength and corrosion resistance. Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as fiberglass-reinforced plastic, is a composite material comprising glass fibers embedded in a plastic matrix. Glass Reinforced Vinyl Ester (GRVE) combines glass fibers with vinyl ester resin resulting in improved mechanical properties including tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Reinforced Thermoplastic (RTP) is a composite material of thermoplastic resin reinforced with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. RTP offers high impact resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility, making it ideal for demanding applications in the Oil & gas industry.
Application: Rising use of composites in caissons & pull tubes and piping systems
Caissons and pull tubes are used in oil & gas operations to transport drilling mud, cuttings, and other fluids from the seabed to the platform. Composite risers are essential in offshore drilling operations, providing a flexible connection between subsea equipment and surface platforms. Flexible tubes, such as umbilicals or coiled tubing in the oil & gas industry, require lightweight materials with excellent flexibility and chemical resistance. Composite grinds and gratings are widely used in the oil & gas sector owing to their superior corrosion resistance, non-conductive properties, and anti-slip surface texture. Composite ladders offer significant advantages over traditional metallic options in oil & gas applications as they are lightweight in construction, electrical insulation properties, and resistance to harsh chemicals. Piping systems in the oil & gas industry often face challenges related to corrosion, pressure handling capacity, and temperature fluctuations.
