In the oil and gas industry, pipes are required in petroleum offshore and onshore production and refineries. In the petroleum industry, pipes are required upstream, midstream, and downstream. Hence, it generates higher demand for pipe coatings. In the oil and gas industry, epoxy pipe coating is used extensively, as it is resistant to high temperatures, chemicals, and corrosion. Without pipeline corrosion protection, damages occur, which leads to equipment failure and loss of production time. Tubing, pipes, fasteners, and equipment are subjected to the punishing effects of chemicals, water, and sea salt spray. Industry-standard hot-dip galvanized, cadmium, and zinc-plated coatings lack durability and deteriorate in tough offshore environments. However, metal coatings' proprietary gas pipe coating products minimize the effects of corrosion and abrasion and improve the longevity of costly equipment. With recovery prices in the oil and gas industry, exploration and production have started increasing. The major increase in oil & gas offshore exploration and production activities is noticed in the North Sea, North America, and Middle Eastern regions. According to BP, ly, oil production in 2021 increased by about 1.6% from the previous year and is expected to increase market CAGR over the forecast period.
Additionally, the application of pipe coatings in various industry verticals and the rise of developing countries are expected to positively impact the demand for pipe coatings. The increase in demand witnessed in shale gas development is another factor expected to drive the growth of the pipe coatings market. A key trend observed is the increased usage of abrasion-resistant overlays (ARO). ARO is a coating designed to resist and withstand the toughest abrasions and surface damage. The implementation of AROs ensures better pipes' performance and increases their longevity. This driver positively affects the pipe coating market revenue during the forecast period.
Hardide Coatings, a developer of advanced surface coating technology, will introduce the first of a new line of ready-coated and upgraded components in 2024, featuring a JP-5000 4" copper nozzle for high-velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) thermal spray painting. The tungsten/tungsten carbide-based Hardide chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating has been shown to increase the operational life of HVOF thermal spray copper nozzles by 5 to 40 times when spraying carbide or metallic-based powders. The ready-coated nozzles have O-rings that can tolerate greater temperatures over extended durations of service.
Based on product, the Pipe Coating market segmentation includes fusion bonded epoxy, metallic coatings, concrete coatings, and thermoplastic polymer coatings. The thermoplastic sector dominated the market for pipe coating market in 2022. The most used category of pipe coatings is thermoplastic polymer coatings, which consist of PE, PP, and PU coatings used in polyolefin coatings. As they have the additional advantage of thermoplastic polymer coatings and fusion-bonded epoxy coatings, 3LPE or 3LPP coatings are now favored on a wide scale. In the oil & gas industry, they are largely included.
Based on form, the Pipe Coating market segmentation includes liquid, and powder. The liquid segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The government is enforcing stringent VOC regulations, increasing the need for advanced, eco-friendly goods such as liquid-based coatings to expand the process pipe coating industry. The government's growing emphasis on upgrading potable water facilities and sewer lines is another aspect that would positively affect the sector's development.
Based on surface type, the Pipe Coating market data includes external and internal. The outer segment dominated the pipe coating market. Due to prove beneficial in surface characteristics such as protection from heat, color, wear and tear, and increased resistance to electricity. Whereas internal corrosion is caused by chemical materials that are prevalent within the pipeline, which come in contact with pipe materials and corrode the pipe.

Based on end use type, the pipe coating industry includes chemical processing marine, water & wastewater treatment, oil & gas industry, and others. Oil & gas Industry segments dominated the market. In the oil and gas field, pipes are needed for offshore and onshore petroleum production and refineries. In the petroleum field, upstream, midstream, and downstream pipes are needed. It then creates a greater demand for coatings for pipes. Epoxy pipe coating is used widely in the oil and gas industry, as it is resistant to high temperatures, contaminants, and corrosion. Harm occurs without pipeline corrosion safety, resulting in system breakdown and lack of production time.
In 2024 Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine's new Pipeclad Frac-Shun ERC, available in 2024, creates a new coatings category by resisting erosion inside pipelines near fracturing wellheads, lowering downtime maintenance costs and increasing drilling productivity. This patent-pending erosion-resistant coating (ERC) technology protects pipe interiors from the grit's intrinsic sandblasting action as it moves swiftly through them. The applied powder coating lasts much longer than alternative solutions, preserving the steel pipes from severe metal loss, which would otherwise result in leaks and early pipe replacements in many operations.
By Region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North American pipe coating market, due to the easy access & abundance of shale gas and newly discovered reserves of oil, will boost the market growth in this Region.
Further, the major countries studied in the market report are The U.S., Canada, German, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
