Pipeline monitoring is a single system that detects smaller leaks or damages in pipelines securely and more reliably, while, simultaneously, monitoring them for third-party interferences and other external threats to prevent leaks. MarketsandMarkets projects that pipeline monitoring system market size will grow from USD 4.6 billion in 2019 to USD 6.5 billion by 2024, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2019 to 2024. The increase in demand for pipeline monitoring systems for crude & refined oil is driving the growth of the pipeline monitoring system market. To know about the assumptions considered for the study download the pdf brochure North America contributes a major market share in the global pipeline monitoring system market. The North American market is projected to grow at the highest rate than the other region, as many new pipelines are under construction in this region. Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest growth after North America from 2019 to 2024, while Europe accounts for the second-largest market share in the market. Emerging economies such as India, China, and Japan are projected to grow at moderate CAGRs between 2019 and 2024. The increase in demand of pipeline monitoring systems for crude & refined oil is driving the growth of the pipeline monitoring system market, which is expected to witness high growth as a result of the increasing number of oil & gas leakages in production, pipelines, and storage tanks due to natural disasters and high pressure; and the stringent government regulations for pipeline safety and security and expansion and upgradation of pipelines. The growing trend of the development of new devices and solutions to monitor pipeline performance, optimize resources, automate the functions, and safeguard the operations are witnessing the growth of the pipeline monitoring system market. Major players in the pipeline monitoring system market includes Siemens AG (Germany), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), BAE Systems (U.K), Perma Pipes(U.S), Transcanada ( Canada), PSI AG (Germany), Pure Technology (Canada), Orbcomm Inc. (U.S.), and Huawei (China).
Recent Developments
In March 2019, Siemens equipped 29 gas turbines with Remote Diagnostic Services for Gail India Limited across the Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur(HVJ) pipeline and the Vijaipur C2/C3 plant to provide advanced software services for an easy manufacturing process.
In January 2019, Transcanda started a new project named Mountaineer Xpress (MXP), a Columbia Gas project, designed to transport supply from the Marcellus and Utica shale plays to points along the system and to the Leach interconnect with Columbia Gulf. Approximately 45 per cent of this project was placed in service on January 18, 2019, with the remainder to be placed in service in February and March 2019, along with Gulf Xpress, a Columbia Gulf project.
In September 2018, Perma-Pipe Saudi Arabia was awarded a contract by Italy’s Saipem S.p.A for a thermal insulation system, field joints, and a leak detection system for two 55kms, 30 inch diameter, low Sulphur fuel oil lines for Kuwait Oil Company’s (KOC) new refinery project in Kuwait. The contract was valued approximately at USD 15 Million.
