Pipeline Monitoring System Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Material (Metallic, Non-Metallic), By Technology (Ultrasonic Testing, Smart Ball, Magnetic Flux Leakage Technology, PIGs & Others), By End Use (Petroleum, Water & Waste Water and Others), and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Pipeline Monitoring System Market size was valued at US$ 17,246 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2024-2030. The significant market share of 71.3% held by the Metallic segment underscores its critical role and effectiveness in Pipeline Monitoring System. This prominence can be attributed to several factors that highlight its precision and direct approach to guaranteeing pipeline integrity and safety.

The Ultrasonic Testing segment, which recorded the highest market value in 2023 and is projected to grow at the highest rate of 7.4%, highlights the significance of advanced and non-invasive inspection techniques in modern Pipeline Monitoring System. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is favored for its exceptional accuracy, versatility, and ability to detect various defects in pipelines without disrupting operations.

North America emerges as the dominant region, holding a substantial 25.2% market share and recording US$ 6,040 million in 2023. Expected to grow at a 7.9% CAGR, reaching US$ 6,849 million by 2029, this dominance is driven by factors such as a robust pipeline infrastructure network spanning multiple industries like oil and gas, water and wastewater management, and utilities.

The comprehensive nature of the market's expansion is underscored by its adaptability to varying industry demands and needs. Industries with critical assets, such as those in oil and gas, find value in Pipeline Monitoring System solutions for safeguarding infrastructure, while the manufacturing and infrastructure development sectors benefit from the efficiency and reliability offered by these technologies.

Key Developments

• In 2020, MAC, led by President & CEO Dudley M. Boden, entered the welded tube market with the introduction of the Echomac® PA TW System. These phased array ultrasonic inspection systems offer minimal operator adjustments, extended test head coverage of weld zones, and real-time monitoring in the hot zone. Addressing welding errors promptly, the system reduces scrap tube production. Its versatility extends beyond welded tubes to applications like bar, composites, and rail wheels. This key development positions MAC at the forefront of enhancing precision and efficiency in tube manufacturing processes.
• In 2018, MAC achieved key milestones across quarters. In the second quarter, they shipped the inaugural Rotoflux® AC Flux Leakage system to a Korean customer, revolutionizing the detection of defects in hot-rolled bars. The momentum continued in the third quarter with the dispatch of two more Rotoflux® AC units to a U.S. customer, solidifying MAC's commitment to cutting-edge inspection solutions. Closing the year on a high note, MAC introduced a groundbreaking 25mm, 8-channel UT rotary with Echomac® FD6A electronics in the fourth quarter. This innovative unit expanded MAC's ultrasonic inspection capabilities, accommodating materials ranging from 5mm to 500mm OD, particularly catering to suppliers in the medical industry.
• In February 2023, NDTCCS announced the launch of its Advanced Inspection Services division, focusing on emerging technologies like drone-based inspections and advanced ultrasonic testing.
