Important Factors Shaping the Intelligent Pigging Services Market

  • Robust Advancements in Inspection Technologies

    Due to rising integration of automation technology, the original equipment manufacturers and vendors are constantly improving their pipeline inspections and maintenance by investing in research and developments. Advanced intelligent pigging technologies enable efficient diagnosis of flow in the pipeline.

    Intelligent pigging services providers are constantly aiming to find dents and deformations that are used by pipeline operators.

  • High Cost of Intelligent Pigging Services as a Restraining Factor

    According to the FMI’s analysis, the average pricing of intelligent pigging technologies such as UT, MFL, and EMAT technologies require substantial capital investments, which hampers its adoption especially in the developing economies such as India and ASEAN countries. Due to high cost involved in intelligent pigging services, various pipeline operators opt for cost-effective alternatives as compared to smart or intelligent pigging services. This will restraint the growth of the intelligent pigging services market.

    Growing number of players in the intelligent pigging services market have also intensified the competition, which in turn, will dwindle profit margins especially in the U.S. where there are large number of original equipment manufacturers.

  • Inventing Small Pigs for Conventional Use

    Due to rise in demand for more sophisticated and small-sized electronic systems, manufacturers are offering comparatively small intelligent pigs for conventional use. Due to the invention of smaller size intelligent pigs, inspection and maintenance of the small-diameter has become possible. The result is likely to lead to significant growth of the intelligent pigging services market.

    Alike pigging, manufacturers follow same standards for small pigs i.e. API Standard (In-line inspection systems qualification standard), NACE International (Recommended practice for in-line inspection pipelines) and American Society of Non-destructive Testing (In-line inspection personnel qualification and certification).

  • Intensifying Pressure Due to Stringent Regulations Representing a Potential Threat

    With the growing industry and government regulations, regions such as North America and Western Europe have stringent pipeline safety regulations in place to protect the environment and avoid business discontinuity. This intensifying pressure is likely to pose as a potential threat for intelligent pigging service providers. Most regulatory authorities across the world lay emphasis on regular inspection and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines as their regular supply is the key to ensure stable economic growth.
