Assessing various factors driving market growth, FMI analyst said, “Stringent government & industry regulations, expected economic revival and technological advancements in pigging services are surging demand for global intelligent pigging services market.” The analyst added that increasing awareness among pipeline operators about the benefits of regular inspection and maintenance of pipelines is expected to further fuel market growth. This is also expected to prompt original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and vendors of intelligent pigs to introduce innovation in inspection technologies such as magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and ultrasonic test (UT) to improve efficiency of services.

The global intelligent pigging services market is segmented on the basis of technology into MFL and UT. Among these, demand for MFL is significant, accounting for 66.6% share of the global intelligent pigging segment market in 2014. As per FMI estimates, this segment is projected to register a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

On the basis of end-use industry, the global intelligent pigging service market is segmented into gas industry and oil industry. The gas industry segment in the global intelligent pigging services accounted for 80.4% market share in 2014. FMI estimates the gas industry segment expected to register a CAGR of 6.2% between 2015 and 2025, to account for US$ 657.0 Mn by 2025. The oil industry segment is estimated to account for 19.8% share by the end of 2015 and is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 6.7% through 2025. Currently, the gas pipeline network is larger than that of oil, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period as well. Thus, the gas industry segment is projected to dominate the global intelligent pigging services market over the forecast period.

Increasing consumption of petroleum products and natural gas is expected to fuel demand for intelligent pigging services globally. In addition, economic revival in regions such as Eastern Europe, Western Europe & North America and economic growth in regions such as APEJ and Latin America are expected to propel growth of the global intelligent pigging services market over the forecast period.
