Overview of Report Findings

1. Market Size: The welded steel tubes market size is projected to reach US$ 274.25 billion by 2031 from US$ 191.23 billion in 2024. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.6% during 2025–2031. Welded steel pipes are hollow cylinders formed by welding metal strips or sheets together. These pipes are manufactured using various processes, such as electric resistance welding (ERW), which involves heating the edges of a steel strip and pressing them together to form a tube. Welded steel pipes have diverse applications due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Steel has high tensile and mechanical strength, making it ideal for structurally demanding applications. Stainless steel or galvanized pipes are corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for harsh environments including chemical plants, water treatment plants, and outdoor infrastructure.
   
   
2. Growing Investment in Construction Industry Worldwide: The construction industry is growing rapidly in several countries around the world, with increasing government investment and an increase in demand for various construction sector projects. Countries such as the United States, China, Mexico, Brazil, and India are home to the largest construction companies in the world. According to the insights from Association of General Contractors of America (AGC), the US construction sector is growing with an investment of US$ 1400 billion annually. In construction, welded steel pipes are used in plumbing, heating, cooling, and fire sprinkler systems. They are corrosion-resistant, durable, high strength, and can withstand high pressures and temperatures. Welded steel pipes are also utilized in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other large construction infrastructure projects. They provide strong, load-bearing elements in structural frames, roofs, walls, and floors. The construction industry is growing rapidly in the long term thanks to increasing government investment in infrastructure development. For example, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act approved US$ 1.2 trillion in funding in the United States, and the EU Infrastructure Development Fund approved US$ 828.8 billion in Europe. Steel tubes are commonly used as columns and beams in commercial infrastructure and industrial buildings. High strength welded steel offers greater strength and the ability to withstand both compression and tension, making it ideal for vertical and horizontal loading applications.
   
   
3. Growing Importance of Welded Steel Tubes in Oil & Gas Industry: The oil and gas industry depend heavily on welded steel pipes due to their high tensile strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, that are critical in the challenging environments of oil exploration, production, and transportation. Welded steel pipes are used to construct pipelines which transport crude oil, natural gas, and other liquids over long distances. Steel pipes' resistance to high pressures makes them ideal for these applications. They can withstand the extreme pressures and environmental conditions found in both onshore and subsea pipelines. There is increasing investment in the construction and expansion of oil and gas pipelines around the world. For example, in January 2025, the government of Alberta, Canada, partnered with Enbridge Inc., a U.S.-based pipeline company, to expand the province's oil and gas pipeline capacity. The Alberta government exports more than 4.3 million barrels per day mb/d of crude oil to the U.S. Additionally, in July 2024, Enbridge Inc., a Canadian energy supply company, planned to invest $700 million in Mexico to build new crude oil and natural gas pipelines. The pipeline, called the Canyon Oil Pipeline System, will have a capacity of 0.2 million barrels per day. Welded steel pipes play a vital role in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the construction of pipelines that transport crude oil, natural gas, and other liquids over long distances. These pipes must withstand high internal pressures, mechanical stresses, and corrosive environments. Welded pipes made of high-quality carbon or alloy steel are designed to effectively meet these demanding requirements.
