COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- COVID-19 has shut down the production of carbon steel pipes because of the lockdown. This has hampered the growth of the market in the last few months and is likely to continue during 2021.
- At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 began to spread around the world, millions of people worldwide were infected with the disease, and major countries have implemented prohibitions and work stoppage orders. Except for the medical supplies and life support products companies, most industries have been greatly impacted.
- The major demand for the carbon steel pipe for spools making in the giant production and processing countries like U.S., India, and Germany are negatively affected by the pandemic, thereby declining the demand for carbon steel pipe.
- The COVID-19 has hindered the growth of the carbon steel pipe market as sectors such as energy, structure building, and fertilizers are affected significantly. The construction sector in China, Middle East, and Africa also witnessed a major decline in the number of projects as most countries across the globe have imposed lockdown restrictions and disrupted the overall supply chain.
Top Impacting Factors
Piping spools are a fabricated component for the piping system. Pipe spools can be connected with the use of valves, and flanges for better use. Carbon steel piping spools are generally used in power plants, chemical industries, and oil & gas industries. Factors driving the market growth include increase in exploration and drilling activities for oil around the globe. The rise in growth and success rate of petroleum extracting drives the growth of the market. An increase in the use of pipe and fittings in chemical industries and power plants is anticipated to foster the growth of the market.
Carbon steel pipe is the most commonly used material for process piping. It has the advantage of wide availability, high strength, and a large array of connection possibilities, for example, screwed, socket-welded, and butt-welded. Steel pipe should be selected for the required strength and durability required for the application and the ductility and machinability required for joining it and forming it into piping spools. The pipe must withstand the pressure, temperature, and corrosion conditions of the application. These requirements are met by selecting pipes made to an appropriate ASTM or API standard.
Raw material availability is the major factor that hinders the growth of the market. The transportation of carbon steel is expensive for some countries. The manufacturing of carbon steel is required to be high for the growth of the market.
