NEWfOr�2010

In�this�study�Metal�Bulletin�research�examines�precisely�where�large�and�medium-diameter�stainless�and�duplex�stainless�welded�pipes�will�be�required�and�in�whatquantities�going�out�to�2030�on�a�regional�basis.

Why is this study unique?Metal�Bulletin�research�presents�a�brand�new�study,�A Strategic Market Outlook for Medium-and-LargeStainless and Duplex (SAW) Pipes out to 2030,which�aims�to�provide�clarity�and�direction�at�apivotal�time�for�the�stainless�and�duplex�stainlesswelded�pipes�markets.�These�are�generally�requiredwhen�fluids�need�to�be�transported�in�severeconditions�–�at�low�temperatures,�at�high�pressures,�orin�corrosive�environments.

Their�use�has�become�common�in�the�constructionand�operations�of�liquefied�natural�gas�projects,�natural�gas�pipelines,�gas�treatment�plants�and�nuclearpower�plants.

With�the�number�of�energy-related�infrastructureprojects�assured�to�increase�on�aggregate�worldwide�incoming�years,�Metal�Bulletin�research�is�forecasting astrong growth in demand, particularly for large andmedium-diameter stainless and duplex stainlesswelded pipes (LMSS).�The�global�economic�crisis�canslow�down�investment�projects�in�the�energy�sectoronly�for�a�very�short�period.

Demand�for�LMSS�welded�pipes�will�not�increaseuniformly�in�all�markets,�however,�neither�will�it�arisefor�the�most�part�close�to�the�current�centres�ofproduction�in�Europe�and�mature�Asian�economies.�

MBr’s�A�Strategic�Market�Outlook�for�Medium-and-Large�Stainless�and�Duplex�(SAW)�Pipes�out�to�2030is�of�strategic�importance�to:

• Senior managers of steel tube and pipe makers;• Suppliers of raw materials, equipment andservices;• Financial analysts;• Legal advisers and international trade exports; • Consultants• Government departments;• Energy/oil/gas producers;• Engineering contractors;• Any business for which international steel tubeand pipe is important.

A Strategic Market Outlook for Medium-and-Large Stainless and Duplex (SAW) Pipes out to2030 offers�expert�analysis,�market�forecasting,�and�independent�guidance�to�the�industry�inevaluating�the�current�and�prospective�requirements�for�stainless�and�duplex�steel�welded�(SAW)�pipesin�the�OD�range�8.5/8”�-�48”,�medium-heavy�wall�thickness�(WT�7.11mm�-�40�mm)�manufacturedmostly�from�steel�plates.The�study�does�so�by�analysing�in�detail�the�prospects�for�growth�in�a�number�of�energy-related�andindustrial�sectors�–�the�end-use�areas�that�will�consume�the�lion’s�share�of�LMSS�welded�pipe�in�thefuture.�This�study�also�examines�specificities�of�some�of�the�national�markets�where�LMSS�weldedpipe�demand�will�grow�most�quickly�in�coming�years.���
