Cold drawn seamless steel pipes are a specialized product crafted by pulling a solid cylindrical steel billet through a die and mandrel to create a seamless tube, devoid of seams or joints. These pipes find extensive use in heat transfer equipment, including super heaters, boilers, and heat exchangers.
The primary product variants of cold drawn seamless steel pipes encompass carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and other specialized types. Carbon steel, a common alloy of iron and carbon, undergoes various production processes such as cross-roll piercing, pilger rolling, multi-stand plug mill, and continuous mandrel rolling. These processes cater to precision instrumentation, boiler tubes, heat exchanger tubes, hydraulic applications, fluid transfer lines, rifled tubes, bearing pipes, mining applications, automotive applications, and general engineering applications.These pipes serve diverse end-use industries such as oil and gas, infrastructure and construction, power generation, automotive, and others
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel have impacted the cold drawn seamless steel pipes market by increasing raw material and production costs, particularly affecting oil and gas, automotive, and infrastructure sectors. Regions such as north america, europe, and asia-pacific are most affected due to reliance on imported steel products. However, these tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing, supply chain diversification, and adoption of cost-efficient production methods for seamless pipes.

The cold drawn seamless steel pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.81 billion in 2025 to $17.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption in oil and gas pipelines, growth of power generation and infrastructure projects, demand for high-strength steel pipes, advancements in cold drawing and pilger mill technologies, early use in industrial and automotive applications.
The cold drawn seamless steel pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing oil and gas exploration and production activities, rising infrastructure and construction projects, growing demand for energy-efficient and durable pipelines, expansion in automotive and general engineering applications, rising use in fluid transfer and hydraulic systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of cold drawn seamless pipes in oil and gas applications, increasing use of precision seamless pipes in automotive and industrial sectors, growing demand for high-strength and corrosion-resistant steel pipes, expansion of advanced manufacturing techniques for seamless pipe production, rising application of cold drawn pipes in power generation and infrastructure projects.
The expansion of the oil and gas sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the cold-drawn seamless steel pipes market in the coming years. Cold-drawn seamless steel pipes are widely utilized in the oil and gas industry because they can withstand the transportation of unprocessed crude oil, which requires large-diameter tubes for transfer. These pipes are essential for both offshore and onshore oil casing and tubing and provide a dependable and efficient method of moving oil from one reservoir to another. For example, in June 2024, the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that total petroleum and other liquid production rose from 21.131 million barrels per day in January 2023 to 22.666 million barrels per day in December 2023. Consequently, the growth of the oil and gas sector is fueling the expansion of the cold-drawn seamless steel pipes market in the foreseeable future.
The growing expansion of the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the cold-drawn seamless steel pipes market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses all economic activities related to the design, development, production, marketing, sale, and maintenance of motor vehicles. This sector requires materials that provide high strength, durability, and reliability. Cold-drawn seamless steel pipes are valued for their superior mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength and precise dimensional accuracy. These features make them ideal for a range of applications within the automotive industry. For example, in May 2025, the UK Parliament, a UK-based government agency, reported that 905,000 vehicles were produced in the UK in 2023, up from 775,000 vehicles in 2022. Hence, the ongoing growth of the automotive industry is fueling the expansion of the cold-drawn seamless steel pipes market.
