The global offshore oil and gas pipeline market is expected to grow by US$2.79 billion, progressing at a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period. Technavio expects the market to have a negative impact due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic delayed several oil and gas pipeline projects across the world. However, the market is expected to gradually gain pace, once business processes and investment activities in the oil and gas industry are back to normal.
"One of the primary growth drivers for this market is the increase in global energy demand”, says a senior analyst for the Energy industry at Technavio. Rising industrialisation and urbanisation in developing countries such as India and China have significantly increased the global consumption and demand for oil and gas. Besides, the expansion of existing gas-fired power plants and the emergence of new power plants is increasing the demand for offshore oil and gas pipelines, which is driving the market growth.
