Drill Pipe Market Size was valued at USD 2406.5 Mn in 2022. The Drill Pipe Market industry is projected to grow from USD 2788 Mn in 2023 to 2,895.2 Mn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032).
Generally, drill pipes refer to thin-walled steel and aluminum alloy piping, which are mainly used for horizontal drilling or to facilitate the drilling of a borehole. Its hollow shape allows the drilling fluid to be pumped down the hole through the bit and the backup of the annuals. However, the drill pipe is just a portion of the drill string that comprises the bottom hole assembly and the drill pipe.
Tool joints connect every section of the drill pipe fitted with two ends. Drill pipes can be categorized into standard drill pipes, heavy weight drill pipes, and drill collars. Drill pipes are used in various applications such as mining, agriculture, oil and gas industry and more. An increase in mining activities along with the development of the new oil and gas fields act as a major driver for the market. On the other hand, the high costs along with the fluctuating prices of raw materials such as crude oil can act as a major constraint for the drill pipe market.
The drill pipe market growth is majorly driven by the increasing oil & gas exploration activities in onshore & offshore sites due to the growing demand for petroleum products and energy. Recent advancements in drilling technology and the decrease in crude oil price has generated substantial market demand for optimizing E&P in current oil fields operating at economical rates. Reduced E&P activities result in reduced oil & gas supply in accordance with the oil & gas demand, which increases the demand for oil & gas.
Drill Pipe International LLC is an American vertically integrated drill pipe & HW drill pipe manufacturer serving the domestic downhole industry & overseas, providing a strong financial base. The company owns raw material sourced from its integrated steel plants & tube mill needed to deliver superior quality products at competitive rates in the shortest period.

The Year 2022
The increasing automation and investments in rapidly growing oil and gas industries are projected to play a causal role in the development of the drill pine market. Besides, increasing integrations of innovative technologies such as robotics in offshore and onshore drilling activities drive the growth of the market. Moreover, advances in drilling technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing escalate market growth.Â
The petroleum industry is again gearing up to post lockdown restrictions imposed due to coronavirus spread. This, as a result, is expected to increase the use of drill pipes and petroleum pipes that occupy a very important position in the drilling industry. Drill pipes demonstrate a huge amount of potential to save expenses and reduce the costs of drilling activities.
The consumption of oil well pipes can be calculated based on the annual drilling scale. The mechanics and environmental behavior of drill pipes have an important influence on the adoption of advanced technology and the increase in production and efficiency in the oil industry. Additionally, emerging markets across the globe present untapped opportunities for drill pipe used in the O&G industry. Emerging countries would offer a host of lucrative opportunities to global firms in the near future.
The lack of interoperability is a prominent factor projected to restrict the development of the market. These interoperability issues in several countries could restraint the ongoing market growth, negatively impacting the sales and use of drill pipes in the coming years. This is because drill pipes lack interoperability standards. The drill pipe industry needs to develop RFID interoperability standards that have not been used in the oil and gas industry ubiquitously as in other fields.
Price fluctuations of key raw materials across countries could be a major challenge for the players. Also, the demand-supply gap in raw material required for the drill pipe production poses challenges to the manufacturers.
Along with urbanization and industrialization across the globe, the increasing population would expand the drill pipe market share at a strong rate. Furthermore, geothermal power is estimated to play a key role in the drill pipe market, driving the energy transition.
Advances in deep-drilling technology for fracking and developments of new methods of tapping into the earth’s limitless underground supplies of oil & gas demonstrate huge market opportunities. Also, high cost accessing deep geothermal energy and initial government support would provide a much-required impetus to the market growth.
The market is segmented into three major dynamics by grade, application, and region. Based on grade, the market is sub-segmented into API grade and premium grade. The API grade segment holds the largest market share, as it can be manufactured as per the specifications developed and approved by API. Standard API approved drill pipe grades are X-95, E-75, G-105, and S-135.
On the basis of application, the drill pipe market is sub-segmented into onshore and offshore. Due to the ability to conduct drilling operations under the earth’s surface, the onshore segment accounts for the maximum market share, not covered in underwater drilling.
By region, the market is bifurcated into Americas (US, Canada, Mexico, Rest-of-North America), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, and Rest-of-Europe), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Rest-of-the-APAC), and Rest-of-the-World.
North America has remained the market leader since 2018 and could continue to maintain its winning streak throughout the assessment period. The market is driven by advances in drilling technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Moreover, high grade finds in rare earth exploration sites and new hydrocarbon reserves in the region influence the market growth. The US holds the largest share in the regional market due to advancements in unconventional drilling technologies, attracting substantial investments for oil and gas drilling projects.
Europe captures the second biggest share in the global drill pipe market. This growth attributes to the drop in oil prices and lower costs for drilling operations in the region. Additionally, developments in unconventional drilling technologies and discoveries of vast hydrocarbon resources in shale basins increase the drill pipe market size.
Many European countries are initiating, transforming regulations to increase the use of drill pipe in oilfield applications, this would resultantly increase the market share of the region. Moreover, well-developed oilfield infrastructure, increasing drilling activities, and the increasing demand for fossil fuels in the region foster the uptake of drill pipes in the oilfields.
The COVID-19 outbreak affected most industries across the world. The novel coronavirus lockdown resulted in the closing down of several manufacturing facilities, causing huge revenue losses in end-use. The pandemic put a brake on the production of drill pipes and key raw materials, which, in turn, spiked the prices and lowered the demand.
With the deteriorating market due to Covid-19 and oil price declines, MRFR states that many drill pipe companies faced non-cash impairment in respect of certain idle drilling units. On the bright side, the steadily increasing demand for petroleum products and energy can favor the drill pipe market in the years ahead.
