The offshore pipeline market is segmented on the basis of diameter, line type, and product. Based on product, the gas segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Regions such as North America are noticing a high growth in shale gas discoveries, which drives demand for offshore pipeline. Based on line type, the transport line segment is expected to dominate the offshore pipeline market during the forecast period. The rising demand for refined products increases the deployment of transport lines across the world, which propels the growth of the offshore pipeline market. Moreover, the transport line is usually longer in length and covers a wide range of areas, such as cross-border pipelines.

Discoveries of oil and gas reserves, particularly in the eastern European region, are propelling the offshore pipeline market growth. The region is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. North America would hold the second largest offshore pipeline market share during 2020–2027. The increasing number of offshore oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico is also boosting the growth of the offshore pipeline market in North America. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, ~13.7% of the world’s proven oil reserves are situated in North America. The demand for offshore pipeline network is increasing in ASEAN members. Also, China and India are witnessing high growth in the demand for natural gas and refined products.
