Global Intelligent Pigging Market
Overview
Intelligent
pigging is a technique wherein an inspection probe, commonly known as smart
pig, is involved in pipeline inspection, measuring pipe wall thickness, and
metal loss by direct measurement of the thickness of the pipe wall. The key factors driving the growth of the
intelligent pigging market is stringent government regulations for pipeline
inspections, benefits of intelligent pigging solutions, and concern over the
safety of pipelines.
Intelligent
pigging is an inspection technique in
which inspection probe/smart pig is propelled through pipeline in order to gain
data regarding location of corrosion, and other anomalies on walls of pipe.
Intelligent pigging’s technology include Magnetic Flux Leakage, Caliper, and
Ultrasonic. The pipeline type include liquid and gas. The key applications of
intelligent pigging are Metal Loss/Corrosion Detection and Crack and Leak
Detection. The global intelligent pigging market is estimated to expand at
4.89% CAGR during the forecast period.
Industry Segmentation
The
intelligent
pigging market research has been segmented based on application into metal
loss/corrosion detection, crack and leak detection, and geometry measurement
and bend detection. Among these applications, metal loss/corrosion detection is
the fastest growing segment in the intelligent pigging market as pipe corrosion
can hamper the quality of substance that is carried, thereby resulting in doors
and stained fixtures. Thus, intelligent pigging is used to detect pipeline
corrosion.
Regional Analysis
North
America held the largest market share of the global intelligent pigging market
in 2017. North America region has some major players from the oil & gas
industry and prominent users of inline inspection services for intelligent
pigging. The intelligent pigging market would be mainly driven by increasing
awareness among pipeline operators about the benefits of maintenance of
pipelines and regular inspection. In addition, significant production and
exploration of crude oil and gas in Middle East & Africa would also have a
positive impact on the growth of intelligent pigging market during the forecast
period.
