OIL & GAS SUBSEA UMBILICALS MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global oil & gas subsea umbilicals market size was valued at USD 3.77 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 6.58 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

Oil & gas subsea umbilicals are gadgets that link surface and seafloor oil & gas subsea equipment for controls, power, and heat. Oil & gas subsea umbilicals provide electric and fiber-optic signals, electrical power, and hydraulic & chemical injection fluids to the subsea units. They also power subsea boosting and compression and provide flow-line heating to prevent wax formation and hydrates that slow down oil production. There are various types of umbilicals, such as steel tubes, power, and integrated services umbilicals in the market.

An oil & gas subsea umbilical is enclosed with an outer ring designed for the subsea environment to which it is deployed. Umbilicals must withstand everyday wear and tear and seabed temperatures. They are also deployed in ultra-deepwater environments. Umbilicals are connected from the surface facility to the subsea development through an Umbilical Termination Structure (UTS). From this, umbilical services are transported to various subsea equipment located on fields.

COVID-19 Impact: Lockdown Restrictions Impeded Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented & staggering, with oil & gas subsea umbilicals experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR can be attributed to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels after the pandemic is over.

Due to movement and travel restrictions, the oil supply chain was hit severely, resulting in the plummeting of oil prices worldwide. Thus, this negatively affected the demand for oil & gas subsea umbilicals, as the oil demand continued to see a downward trajectory. Regions such as Russia and Saudi Arabia suffered massive losses, significantly bringing down their revenues and market share in the industry. The supply chain disruptions massively affected both buyers and investors.

LATEST TRENDS

Discovery of Oil Refineries to Lead Market Growth

The discovery of new oil refineries in several regions will lead to the growth of the umbilicals as the demand for oil, gas, and energy needs across the world increases. An increase in oil and gas activity along with a shortage in the supply of oil and gas is set to prompt the requirement for additional oil refineries. Hence, these factors will drive the energy industry's market share, thus recording massive profits for leading players. Key regions in the market include Europe and the Asia Pacific.
