The global steel tube umbilical market size was USD XX Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the rising number of deepwater drilling operations across the globe.

Steel tube umbilicals (STUs) are an important part of several industrial operations, as they are mainly used for fluid, gases, waste, and energy transportation. These are used in major applications in offshore oil & gas operations. The demand for oil & gas is significantly increasing globally; therefore, the companies in the sector as well as governments are implementing ways to increase oil & gas plants and production that is boosting the demand for STUs.

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Outlook

Steel tube umbilical is a complex assembly made up of multiple sheets of steel. It transports fluids, gases, and electrical power between offshore facilities and subsea equipment. These solutions provide a conduit for hydraulic control fluids, chemicals, and electrical signals that are required for the operation of subsea systems such as wellheads, vertical subsea trees, and subsea production control systems. STUs are designed to withstand harsh offshore environments, including high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive conditions.

Several key end-user industries of steel tube umbilical solutions are expanding their product portfolio to meet the overall rising consumer demands across the globe. Factors such as rapidly expanding urbanization, economic growth, and increased spending capacity of consumers influence the market growth.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the steel tube umbilical market. Strict restrictions imposed by the governments to control the virus spread disrupted the overall supply chain of industries, including steel industries. The pandemic has affected both developed and emerging economies, as industrial operations were slowed down or completely cut with lockdown measures and supply chain breakdown.

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Dynamics

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Rising demand for steel tubes umbilical from various end-use industries, due to its inherent tensile strength and load-bearing properties is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period. STUs are used for hydraulic control applications and chemical injection. Steel tubes have a structural function within steel tube umbilical, supporting umbilical cord weight and removal for ductile armor. STU technology permits to design of optimized and compact cable cross-sections by using pre-shaped fillers.

Increasing demand from the wind power generation industry is expected to boost the steel tubes umbilical market in the coming years. Wind turbines are used to generate electricity and these turbines require an umbilical to transmit power back to shore. It converts the kinetic energy in the wind to mechanical power. This power is used for specific tasks such as pumping water and grinding gain, and it can be converted into electricity by a generator.

Existing Restraints

High costs and a weak economic outlook are likely to hamper the steel tube umbilical market during the forecast period. The economic recovery is expected to weaken with the rising inflation and interest rates, due to the slowdowns caused by COVID-19. Furthermore, the Russia and Ukraine war has considerably slowed economic growth globally, as it affected industrial operations and supply chain activities. These factors are adversely impacting the manufacturing sectors where STUs have applications such as the oil & gas sector.

Emerging Opportunities

Increasing research & development (R&D) activities and a rising focus on technological innovations by market key players are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market. Several companies are focusing on developing new product launches at affordable prices and new features to create a robust market presence. Industries are on the path to improving production and optimizing operations, which is projected to create significant demand for solutions that are durable and efficient.

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Segment Insights

Type Segment Analysis

Based on type, the steel tube umbilical market is divided into super duplex stainless steel (Cr25), 316L steel, and others. The super duplex stainless steel (Cr25) segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period, owing to its excellent corrosion resistance properties. Super duplex stainless steel (Cr25) is a high-temperature stainless steel alloy with oxidation, and it is used under stress at elevated temperatures without losing any of its inherent properties. It is used at temperatures up to 150°C maximum. Duplex stainless steel provides high resistance to caustic solutions, acid chloride, and to other environmental chemicals in the pulp & paper chemicals and chemical/petrochemical industries.

The 316L steel segment is estimated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years, as it possesses molybdenum and less carbon than typical 316 steel. 316L stainless steel is the suitable choice for high temperature and high corrosion applications. It has a maximum carbon content of up to 0.03%. 316L stainless steel has high strength coupled with ductility, which makes it easy to fabricate at room temperature.

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Type

Application Segment Analysis

On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into dynamic, static, pre-installed systems, and retrofits. The dynamic segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to the rapid expansion of offshore oil & gas production activities. Dynamic application is used to provide pipe connections between drilling platforms, offshore equipment and rigs, ships, or onshore plants. This helps in providing oil or gas connection at a deep-sea level, where numerous products are essential to get pumped up by the tube umbilical.

The static segment is anticipated to account for a considerable market share in the coming years, as it is mainly used as a permanent structure to provide fluid flow between two points. It provides the passage of optical and electrical cables for improved data connectivity. Some of the important applications of STUs include offshore oil & gas, power generation equipment, subsea engineering paperwork, chemical plants, and others.

Steel Tube Umbilical Market Application

End-user Segment Analysis

Based on end-user, the steel tube umbilical market is segmented into oil & gas, subsea, renewable energy, and defense. The oil & gas segment is expected to register a robust growth during the forecast period, owing to the rising production of offshore oil & gas across the globe. Steel tube umbilical helps to transfer oil & gas from offshore wellhead platform to onshore terminal through water depths up to several thousand meters. Umbilical link seafloor oil & gas equipment to control power or heat. They provide electrical power & hydraulic, electric, fiber-optic signals, and chemical injection fluids to the subsea unit.

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global steel tube umbilical market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, owing to the increasing demand for STUs from the oil & gas industry. The majority of the oil & gas production relies on the onshore activities, especially in the US.

  • According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, the global oil & gas demand growth is estimated by 380 kb/d to 2.1 mb/d. The demand for oil is expected to be 101.8 mb/d in 2023.

The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, due to the rising infrastructure development activities, rapid urbanization, and industrial growth across various countries such as India, China, and Indonesia. Energy demand is growing rapidly with the exponential population growth and rising industrial production activities. This is leading to rising energy production operations, and thus, creating significant demand for STUs in the region.
