Spoolable Pipes Global Market Report 2026

Spoolable pipes are composed of multi-layered materials consisting of a thermoplastic liner, a reinforcing layer, and an outer thermoplastic cover. These flexible composite pipes (FCP) are specifically designed for use in high-pressure pipelines. The addition of a reinforcing layer ensures the pipe's capability to withstand high pressures, complementing the presence of a thermoplastic outer cover.

The primary components making up spoolable pipes include thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics are resin materials that remain solid at typical temperatures but become pliable upon heating, eventually reaching a fluid state through processes like crystal melting or transitioning past the glass transition point. The reinforcement materials can include glass fiber, carbon fiber, or steel reinforcements. These spoolable pipes find applications in various settings such as onshore, offshore, and downhole environments. They are distributed and made available for purchase either directly or through intermediary distributors.

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 are impacting the spoolable pipes market by increasing costs of imported thermoplastics, reinforcing fibers, steel components, and extrusion equipment used in composite pipe manufacturing. Oil and gas projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported advanced materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are raising project material costs and affecting procurement timelines. However, they are also encouraging domestic composite manufacturing, regional material supply development, and innovation in locally produced flexible pipeline systems.

The spoolable pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2025 to $1.81 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas pipeline networks, increasing offshore exploration activities, adoption of composite materials in pipelines, rising demand for corrosion-resistant infrastructure, growth in energy transportation projects.

The spoolable pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.25 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in offshore energy projects, rising adoption of flexible pipeline technologies, expansion of hydrogen and alternative energy transport, growing focus on pipeline integrity management, increasing demand for cost-efficient pipeline installation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of flexible composite pipeline solutions, rising demand for corrosion-resistant pipes, expansion of high-pressure pipeline installations, growing use of lightweight reinforced pipe systems, enhanced focus on rapid deployment infrastructure.

The rising demand for oil and gas is anticipated to drive the growth of the spoolable pipes market in the future. Oil and gas are fossil fuels primarily utilized for energy and industrial applications, extracted from beneath the Earth's surface. This demand is linked to their critical roles in transportation, heating, electricity generation, industrial development, population growth, urbanization, and the need for petrochemicals. Spoolable pipes are employed in oil and gas production, drilling, storage, and transportation systems. They provide reliable solutions for transporting hydrocarbons, refined fuels, and chemical products due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, and ability to resist paraffin build-up. For instance, in April 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that the electric power sector experienced the largest increase in natural gas consumption among U.S. economic sectors in 2023, with a 7% rise, translating to an additional 2.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and bringing the total from 33.2 Bcf/d in 2022 to a record high of 35.4 Bcf/d. Therefore, the growing demand for oil and gas is expected to propel the spoolable pipes market.

Major companies in the spoolable pipe market are concentrating on developing innovative products like thermoplastic composite flexible pipes, which offer improved durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility for various applications. These lightweight and durable piping systems are constructed from thermoplastic materials and composite reinforcements, providing flexibility and resilience against harsh conditions for use in oil and gas, water management, and construction sectors. For example, in May 2024, DNV, a company based in Norway, introduced the DNV-ST-F207 standard. This standard aims to facilitate the use of Hybrid Thermoplastic Composite Flexible Pipes (TCPs) in deepwater applications, addressing challenges such as high tension and corrosive environments, while encouraging the integration of advanced materials like carbon fiber armor to enhance safety and efficiency in offshore projects.

In January 2023, Cactus, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of wellhead equipment, announced its acquisition of FlexSteel Technologies Holdings Inc. for approximately $621 million. This acquisition enhances Cactus' status as a leading provider of specialized technologies to end users in the industry. FlexSteel's products merge the durability and reliability of steel with the speed and efficiency of spoolable pipes. FlexSteel Technologies Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of spoolable pipes.
