Along with this factor, the market is anticipated to grow steadily with expanding industrialization and urbanization primarily in developing countries as it necessitates construction and heavy equipment. Furthermore, growing demand for DOM steel pipes in various end-use industries and technological advancements in manufacturing processes are also expected to contribute to accelerating the growth of this market with a substantial CAGR over this forecast. 

COVID-19 Impact:  Shutdown of End-Use Industries due to Pandemic Hindered the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels. The market for drawn over mandrel steel pipe was severely halted by the pandemic due to a lack of demand and manufacturing of DOM steel pipes. The shutdown of application industries also impacted market growth. Consequently, the market experienced a decline in demand and revenue during the pandemic. While the industry may eventually recover as the situation improves, the immediate impact of COVID-19 was predominantly negative for the global market.
