Pipeline Monitoring System Market Trends

• 
  

  Growth of the infrastructure for pipelines is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for pipeline monitoring systems is driven by the rising growth of the pipeline infrastructure. The expansion of oil and gas consumption in most major countries has significantly expanded the pipeline system. The installation of pipelines for the distribution and transportation of oil and gas products has covered various regions and hundreds of km. The need for pipeline monitoring systems has expanded due to the size of the pipeline networks. 

To detect leaks in pipeline systems, pipeline systems, pipeline firms employ sophisticated sensors and monitoring equipment. Businesses focus on deploying physical security solutions, including aerial and ground monitoring and video surveillance, to protect from terrorist attacks and sabotage. Over the anticipated timeframe, expanding pipeline infrastructure will offer monitoring system vendors a lucrative market.

Additionally, the market for pipeline monitoring systems is mostly expanding due to the rising demand for metallic pipes. Additional types of metallic pipes include cast iron, corrugated, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, and pipes made of ductile iron. The end-user industries prefer steel-based pipes because iron-based pipes might rust when exposed to highly oxygenated water steam. 

Compared to non-metallic pipes, metallic pipes are less corrosion-resistant and more heat sensitive. Therefore, during the anticipated time, these advantages and features will further increase the demand for the industry as a whole.As a result, it is anticipated that demand for pipeline monitoring systems will increase throughout the projection period due to rising pipeline leakage and corrosion. Thus, driving the Pipeline Monitoring System market revenue.
