Gas pipeline infrastructure encompasses the network of pipelines responsible for collecting, transporting, and distributing gas from producing wells to end-use consumers. This infrastructure also comprises related structures involved in transportation, such as compressor and metering stations, pipelines, and gas processing facilities.
The primary components of gas pipeline infrastructure equipment include pipelines, valves, compressor stations, and metering skids. Pipelines refer to sections of pipes equipped with pumps, valves, and control mechanisms, facilitating the reliable, secure, and sustainable transportation of gases. Operating through transmission and distribution methods, these pipelines serve both onshore and offshore applications. They are utilized by various end users, including commercial and residential entities.
The gas pipeline infrastructure market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides gas pipeline infrastructure market statistics, including gas pipeline infrastructure industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a gas pipeline infrastructure market share, detailed gas pipeline infrastructure market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the gas pipeline infrastructure industry. This gas pipeline infrastructure market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The gas pipeline infrastructure market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2756.98 billion in 2024 to $2863.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial revolution and urbanization, energy demand growth, resource discovery and extraction, government policies and investments, infrastructure modernization, environmental concerns and regulations.
The gas pipeline infrastructure market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3367.13 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable energy integration, shift towards natural gas usage, infrastructure modernization programs, global energy demand growth, international pipeline projects. Major trends in the forecast period include transition to renewable energy, smart pipeline technologies, expansion of LNG trade, focus on pipeline safety, evolving geopolitical dynamics.
The anticipated increase in oil and gas consumption is poised to drive the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure market in the future. Oil and gas activities encompass external drilling, production, gathering, refining, distribution, and transportation. A surge in oil and gas consumption typically translates to a heightened demand for energy transportation through pipelines. This surge fuels the expansion and enhancement of gas pipeline infrastructure to cater to the escalating need for transporting these resources from production sites to consumption areas. As per the Energy Information Administration's report in April 2023, oil consumption rose by 5.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2021 and is projected to further increase by 1.4 million b/d in global liquid fuel consumption in 2023 and 1.8 million b/d in 2024. Consequently, the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure market is driven by the increase in oil and gas consumption.
The increasing demand for shale gas is anticipated to drive the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure market in the coming years. Shale gas is a type of natural gas obtained from shale rock formations using a technique called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Gas pipeline infrastructure is essential for transporting shale gas, which is primarily moved through pipelines that utilize both existing and new pipeline systems. For example, in March 2024, data released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based federal statistical and analytical agency, indicated that U.S. natural gas production rose by 4% in 2023, averaging 125.0 billion cubic feet per day. The Haynesville region accounted for 13% of gross withdrawals at 16.8 Bcf/d, reflecting a 1.4 Bcf/d increase from 2022, when it had also grown by 2.1 Bcf/d. Thus, the rising demand for shale gas is fueling the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure market moving forward.
Strategic partnerships are a key strategy employed by major companies in the gas pipeline infrastructure market to leverage resources and expertise, achieving cost efficiencies and improving economies of scale, crucial for large-scale pipeline projects. Collaborations allow companies to share risks associated with these projects, reducing the financial burden on individual partners and facilitating funding for infrastructure development. An example is the partnership between DNV and Pipeline Infrastructure Limited (PIL) in July 2022, where DNV, a Norway-based company, is providing technical advice and support to integrate hydrogen into PIL's gas network assets in India, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement and supporting a faster transition to a decarbonized energy system.
Technological advancements emerge as a notable trend gaining traction in the gas pipeline infrastructure market. Companies in this sector are embracing new technologies to maintain their market position. ABB, a Switzerland-based automation company, introduced the Sensi+ revolutionary analyzer in December 2022. This analyzer employs laser-based technology to enhance process control, delivering rapid and accurate readings while minimizing false readings. Capable of analyzing up to three pollutants (H2S, H2O, and CO2) in any natural gas stream, the Sensi+ analyzer offers safer, simpler, and more effective pipeline monitoring and operations in a single device.
In February 2023, Williams Companies Inc., a US-based natural gas transportation and processing company, acquired MountainWest Pipelines Holdings for $1.5 billion. Through this acquisition, Williams aims to expand its infrastructure network and diversify its FERC-regulated natural gas transmission and storage offerings. MountainWest Pipelines Holdings is a US-based interstate natural gas pipeline corporation providing storage and transmission services.
