Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Market size was valued at USD 3.82 trillion in 2023 and is set to exceed USD 5.33 trillion by 2036, expanding at over 2.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of gas pipeline infrastructure is estimated at USD 3.9 trillion.
The demand for gas is continuously growing across the commercial as well as residential sectors which can be attributed to the growth of gas pipeline infrastructure market. Shift of the industry from coal to gas, along with the fast growth of industrialization, is anticipated to drive the market growth. As the adoption of natural gas in manufacturing, power generation and chemical plants is rising, this is estimated to aid in complementing the landscape of the industry in the upcoming years.
The rise in demand for shale gas coupled with the enormous potential of countless untapped gas as well as oil reservoirs across the globe is anticipated to drive the gas pipeline infrastructure market in upcoming years. Since the focus towards exploration and production activities across the countries with bumper shale gas reserves is growing, the industry outlook is further predicted to be amplified in future.
Presently, industries consisting of power generation, manufacturing, residential as well as commercial and chemical plants are adopting natural gas which is predicted to accelerate the growth of the market. As the governments across the globe are enforcing strict regulations to stop the GHG emissions, the demand for gas pipeline infrastructure is estimated to grow over the forecast period.
The demand for hydrocarbons is escalating on account of rising population which is projected to result in the growth of the global market. As the industries are expanding across the globe, the demand for market is predicted to grow in the upcoming years.
Challenges
Many pipeline operators have to face financial stress due to high prices of gas but there is low availability of this gas which, in turn, leads to inadequate pipeline capacity use of available pipelines and hence, is predicted to affect operational efficiencies.
The cost of installing gas pipelines at an initial stage is high. The other equipment which is required to be installed along with the pipelines further increases the cost. Additionally, risk involved with the leakages also is estimated to act as a restraint for the market.
