Indonesia Flexible Pipe Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Indonesia Flexible Pipe Market Overview

Indonesia Flexible Pipe market size is forecast to reach US$13.1 million by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2021-2026. Flexible pipes are widely used to transport oils or other liquids from one location to the other and they are also operated under high temperature and pressure conditions. These pipes offer various properties such as high-pressure control, lightweight, and leak resistance among others. Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer used in flexible pipes manufacturing. Poly ethylene flexible pipe is durable, with a long life expectancy. These pipes are used for water systems, drainage, and other applications. The growing demand from the oil & gas industry, along with the rise in demand for non-corrosive pipes among end-use industries are driving the market growth for the flexible pipe market. The rising growth of deep-water exploration activities and the growing technological advancement in the drilling process is supporting the market growth during the forecast period. The growing adoption and acceptance of engineering-grade flexible materials are also propelling the market growth for flexible pipes. The flexible pipelines are widely used in floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) ships and semisubmersibles. However, fluctuating raw materials prices and oil prices are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting different industries; one of the few industries that were largely hit to some extent was the flexible pipe industry. The temporary shutdown of oil & gas manufacturing facilities has negatively impacted the market. The downfall in the extraction of crude oil, disruption of logistical services, and lack of workforce impacted the market negatively during the covid-19 crises. Travel restrictions have reduced the supply of raw materials required for the manufacturing of flexible pipes, which, in turn, has affected negatively the market growth during the pandemic.
