The intelligent pigging market is expected to grow from USD 800.019 million in 2025 to USD 1,030.117 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.19%.
Intelligent pigging is a technique that involves propelling a smart pig in a pipeline to gather important data in order to schedule maintenance while ensuring effective continuity in operations. The demand for intelligent pigging solutions is growing on account of the rising number of global ties leading to the delivery of oil and gas among others from one country to another through pipelines. For instance, the construction of a US$8 billion Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline was started in February 2018 and is estimated to be operational by the end of 2019. Such pipelines have been laid out globally and require continuous inspection in order to ensure effective and smooth transportation. Moreover, the number of refineries has been steadily increasing with the oil exploration activities picking up pace globally which is further anticipated to push the growth of the market due to the frequent need for pipeline inspection for effective functioning. Additionally, the growing urbanization is leading to the rising construction of fuel stations and the laying of sewage pipelines globally which is further anticipated to boost the market during the forecast period. The Intelligent pigging market has been segmented on the basis of technology, pipeline type, application, and geography. In the technology segment magnetic flux leakage is anticipated to hold a significant share owing to its application in both gas and liquid pipelines. Geographically, the North American intelligent pigging market is expected to grow rapidly on account of growing oil exploration activities in the United States, while the Middle East and Africa region are estimated to hold a significant share in the market on account of the presence of the oil field and growing trade between the oil countries with the rest of the world. Similarly, the Asia Pacific intelligent pigging market is estimated to grow at a robust pace on account of the growing investment and increasing trend of urbanization.
