The global large diameter steel pipes market is poised for consistent growth through 2035, propelled by escalating investments in oil & gas pipelines, water transmission networks, and hydrogen-ready infrastructure. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 13,341.4 million in 2025 and is projected to attain USD 17,245.4 million by 2035, advancing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%.

The FMI report, “Large Diameter Steel Pipes Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals that global revenues will increase by approximately USD 3,904 million over the decade, driven by demand for high-pressure, corrosion-resistant pipes in energy diversification, urban utilities, and carbon capture systems.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Hydrogen Infrastructure and Smart Pipeline Technologies:

The shift toward hydrogen transportation, CO₂ pipelines, and digitized monitoring systems is redefining market trajectories. From 2025 to 2030, the large diameter steel pipes market is expected to grow by USD 1,800 million, supported by pipeline replacements and LNG projects. Between 2030 and 2035, FMI anticipates an additional USD 2,104 million in expansion, driven by AI-enabled integrity management, sensor-embedded pipes, and carbon-neutral manufacturing.

“LSAW pipes are dominating high-stakes applications due to superior weld integrity and pressure tolerance,” noted an FMI research analyst. “As energy transitions accelerate, hydrogen-compatible and self-healing coated pipes are enhancing longevity and operational safety.”
