Umbilical Market Snapshot (2022 to 2032)

The global umbilical market was valued at USD 2 Billion in 2021 and is projected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% from 2022 to 2032. As of 2022, a valuation of USD 2.5 Billion has been anticipated for the industry. By 2032, it is expected to reach USD 23.28 Billion.

The rapid escalation in the energy consumption rate has fostered the discovery and production of offshore oil & gas wells, which could become a prominent driver for market growth. According to the USA BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management), the country’s overall federal offshore production reached around 641 million barrels of oil and 882 billion cubic feet of gas in the financial year 2020. This accounted for close to 15% of the overall domestic outcome.

2017 to 2021 Umbilical Demand Analysis vs. Forecast 2022 to 2032

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the oil & gas sector. Many countries are highly dependent on oil exports from countries like Russia, and Gulf nations.

However, the pandemic disrupted the global supply chain, creating an energy crisis across the world that resulted in increased prices. Stringent lockdowns caused nationwide shutdowns of subsea production facilities, impacting production volumes, which may have created roadblocks for the industry.

According to an impact analysis from Rystad Energy, the demand for umbilical lines is expected to decline by nearly 32% in 2020, as a result of the devastating impact of the COVID-19 crisis on global energy investments. Furthermore, as the disruptions from the pandemic continue to recede and oil & gas activities improve, the industry could be headed toward gradual recovery in the forthcoming years.

The global demand for Umbilical is projected to increase at a CAGR of 25% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2032, reaching a total of USD 23.28 Billion in 2032, according to a report from Future Market Insights (FMI). From 2017 to 2021, sales witnessed significant growth, registering a CAGR of 20%.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Umbilical Market?

Exploration of New Offshore Reserves with Substantial Output Capacities pushing Growth of the Market

The discovery of new reserves coupled with the abundance of unexplored hydrocarbon resources across ultra-deep, deep, and shallow offshore locations has resulted in new exploration & production (E&P) activities, thus proliferating the demand for the umbilical market.

For instance, in April 2022, oil & gas major ExxonMobil announced the launch of three new offshore reserves in Guyana with an overall recoverable volume equivalent to 11 billion oil barrels.

Furthermore, new oil and gas exploration projects have been launched to meet the world's rising demand for oil and gas. As a result, there is now a greater need for monitoring oil and gas facilities and leak detection systems. A cutting-edge processing facility for natural gas has been built on various new properties.

It is anticipated that such oil and gas exploration and production operations will increase the demand for umbilicals in the upcoming years.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Umbilical Market?

Decreasing Prices of Crude Oil Hindering Growth

There has been a drop in crude oil prices at a global level. 2020 saw an 8.4 billion barrel decline in proven crude oil reserves and a 560 million barrel decline in proven lease condensate reserves. The proved reserves of USA crude oil and lease condensate decreased by 19 percent, from 47.2 billion barrels to 38.2 billion barrels at the end of 2020, according to the USA impact assessment study from January 2022. The shrinking crude oil reserves are hampering the total market expansion.
