Press Release: Intelligent Pigging Market To Surpass US$ 900 Million By 2027
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Pigging is an advanced technique in which devices called pigs are attached to the pipelines in order to perform inspection and cleansing activities. Intelligent pigging is an inspection device used to gather important data such as to identify the presence of corrosion or other deformities on the inner walls of the pipe. The intelligent pigging system is advanced devices that are capable of doing the advance inspection and also cleanse it effectively. Intelligent pigging uses advanced examination techniques to inspect the long pipe such as ultrasonic testing and magnetic flux leakage testing for detecting erosion, metal loss, pitting, etc.
The global intelligent pigging market is projected to surpass US$ 900 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).
Drivers
Development in the global economy is a major factor fueling the market growth of intelligent pigging. In the recent few years, the global economy has significantly improved and is expected to grow further in the near future due to developing monetary conditions. Rapid urbanization and industrialization around the globe coupled with favorable government policies are also expected to augment the market growth of intelligent pigging.
Advancement in the inspection technologies by major players is expected to favor the market growth of the intelligent pigging. For instance, in September 2019, Indian Oil launched a new artificial intelligence-powered intelligent pigging analysis software. The new intelligent pigging analysis software is based on Alethe Consulting’s MASS platform. Thus, the advent of advanced inspection technologies is expected to propel the market growth.
Regionally, North America dominated the global intelligent pigging market in 2019, reporting 48% market share in terms of revenue, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific, respectively.

Market Restraints
Intense competition in the market due to the presence of a large number of players has led to price wars, in turn, reducing profit market of the manufacturer is expected to hinder the market growth of intelligent pigging. Cost-sensitive market such as India is expected to leads to price among providers.
The high cost of implementation of an in-line pigging system based on MFL, UT, and EMAT technologies is expected to restrict the market growth of intelligent pigging. According to Coherent Market Insights analysis, the average pricing of intelligent pigging technologies such as MFL and UT is expected to increase by approximately 5-7% on year on year basis over the next few years.
Market Opportunities
Rising demand for small-diameter intelligent pigging system is expected to provide potential growth opportunities to the market of the intelligent pigging. The growing use of combined technologies such as magnetic flux leakage and ultrasonic technology for the oil &gas industry due to its robustness and flexibilities is further anticipated to propel the market growth of the intelligent pigging over the forecast period.
Increasing focus of manufacturer on regular inspection and maintenance of pipeline is raising demand for advanced inspection such as multi-data set (MDS) for locating dents and deformation (DEF) for detecting dents. Moreover, increasingly strict regulations regarding the inspection technique across the various industry for safety purpose is also expected to augment the market growth of the intelligent pigging over the forecast period.

On the basis of technology, magnetic flux leakage dominated the global intelligent pigging market in 2019 with around 67% of market share in terms of revenue, followed by ultrasonic test, respectively.
Competitive Section
Key players are operating in the global intelligent pigging market are LIN SCAN, T.D. Williamson, Inc., Baker Hughes Incorporated, GE Oil and Gas, NDT Global, Enduro Pipeline Services, Inc., Oil & Gas Explorers and Producers, Petrobras, OMV Group, ConocoPhillips, and Royal Dutch Shell PLC
Few Recent Developments
LIN SCAN
Intelligent Pigging is a type of inspection method where an inspection probe or smart pig is drove through pipelines for collection of vital data like presence and location of corrosion and other irregularities of inner walls of pipe. This enables the cleaning of pipelines by scrapping pipe side-walls and removal of dirt and wreckage through it which avoids erosion-corrosion, pitting, weld anomalies, metal loss.
Market Dynamics
The global Intelligent pigging market has witnessed significant growth in recent past years, owing to the rising incorporation of automation technology by original equipment manufacturers and equipment vendors in various end-user industries. Pipe manufacturers are focusing on research and developments for improving the pipeline inspections and maintenance which will enable efficient analysis of pipeline flow. This scenario is expected to provide lucrative growth to the global intelligent pigging market over the forecast period.
Major players in the global intelligent pigging market are increasing their investment on innovative product launchings, research & development and marketing & promotional activities to capitalize on emerging trends in various end-use industries manufacturing, oil & gas, mining and others. This scenario is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.
