• to learn more about this report

global stainless steel welded tube market size was USD 22430 million in 2020 and market is projected to touch USD 38766.07 million by 2032 at CAGR 5.1% during the forecast period.

The stainless steel welded market entails the production and distribution of stainless steel tubular products using welding techniques. Because of the distinctive features of stainless steel, such as resistance to corrosion, strength, and durability, these tubes and pipes have extensive applications in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petroleum products, construction, and automotive. The welding technique ensures the tubular products' integrity and reliability, making them appropriate for carrying fluids, gasses, and structural applications.

Key drivers are propelling the development of the market. To begin, the market is driven by the growing popularity of the oil and gas industry, since stainless steel welded tubing and pipes are vital components in research, production, and transportation activities.

The market includes a variety of stainless steel levels, such as austenitic, ferrous, and mixed stainless steels, each customized to specific industry needs. The growing need for resilient and corrosion-resistant tube products in critical uses where efficiency and longevity are crucial is driving the market.

COVID-19 Impact: Weaker Spending on End-Use Sectors to Reduce Market Growth

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 market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a substantial influence on the stainless steel welded tube market growth. The market had previously encountered some hurdles during the year 2019 and the worldwide outbreak has compounded these issues. Demand fell in 2020 as a result of weaker spending on final-use sectors including oil and gas, building, and automotive.

COVID-19 has caused considerable output and supply disturbance in every manufacturing sector across several areas. The pandemic has also reduced the yearly increase of stainless steel along with its derivatives, especially stainless steel welded tubes. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak, the stainless steel welding tube industry has been badly damaged by a decrease in non-essential product sales and an increase of liquidity.

• By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into round tubing, square tubing, and rectangular tubing.

Round Tubing: Round tubing is defined by its real outside diameter, which is equal to the size. A gauge number specifies the thickness of a tube. The OD of the tube remains constant regardless of wall thickness. In addition, tubing has a tighter manufacture tolerance compared to pipe.

Square Tubing: Square tube has several applications in building. Square tubes are utilized as columns in bridges, structures, and towers, among other places. Aside from building, square tubes are used as bracket and platforms for rooftop solar panels and sun mounts, as well as bases for truck, trailer, and rail car production.

Rectangular Tubing: Steel rectangular tubing serves as a strong, sturdy, rugged, and long-lasting building material with practically limitless applications. Rectangular steel tube can be used statically or dynamically due to its close tolerances, dense construction, and superior finishing abilities.

• By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into oil and gas, food industry, automotive, chemical industry, construction, water treatment, pharmaceutical, other.

Oil and Gas: Given their high yield strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, stainless steel welded have a wide application in the gas and oil industries.

Food Industry: Because of its high corrosion resistance and simplicity of cleaning, stainless steel is both robust and hygienic, which are all important qualities in the industry of food preparation. Food safety begins with strict sanitation, and stainless steels containing nickel are the superior, dependable standard at all stages of the food chain.

Automotive: Hose clamps, cylinder gaskets, pumping bodies, thermal shields, windshield wipers, airbag inflation-gas tanks, and seatbelt springs are all made of stainless steel. This is because of its resistance to corrosion, manufacturing capability (friendliness to fabrication), and robust mechanical qualities.

Chemical Industry: Being that stainless steel can withstand attacks from extremely corrosive chemicals, it is a popular material in the chemicals and petrochemical sectors.

Construction: Stainless steel is utilized in constructions that are resistant to explosions and impacts, such as explosion and safety walls, gates, security barriers, and bollards. Because of its outstanding ductility and strain-hardening properties, it can withstand significant impact without shattering.

Water Treatment: The primary rationale for using stainless steels is their exceptional resistance to metal ion contamination of drinkable water. The material has been employed in over 75 installations since 1965 for big, central-control gravity filters in water treatment plants, with good performance.

Pharmaceutical: Stainless steel serves as a highly adaptable material that offers numerous benefits to pharmaceutical companies and researchers. It is long-lasting, corrosion-resistant, and non-toxic, which makes it perfect for practically all stages of the drug's journey from the research facility to the drugstore shelf.
