Electric Resistance Welded Pipes and Tubes Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.11% through 2030F
The increasing global electric
resistance welded pipes and tubes market is driven by integration of industry
4.0 and smart manufacturing, rising focus on premium coatings and specialty
grades during the forecast period 2026-2030F.
According to TechSci Research report, “Electric Resistance Welded Pipes
and Tubes Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition
Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Global Electric
Resistance Welded Pipes and Tubes Market was valued at USD 80.48 Billion in
2024 and is expected to reach USD 109.51 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.11%
during the forecast period. Manufacturers are increasingly deploying Industry
4.0 technologies across ERW production lines, incorporating IoT sensors,
predictive analytics, and automated quality control systems. Real time
monitoring of welding current, coil flatness, and temperature enables proactive
detection of defects, reducing scrap rates by 25 percent. Data analytics
platforms aggregate production metrics across multiple plants, enabling
capacity optimization and predictive maintenance that can cut unplanned
downtime by 28 percent. Digital twin simulations are now being used to model
pipe behavior under various pressure scenarios in advance, shortening R&D
cycles by nearly 15 percent. Integration of robotics and automatic coil
handling reduces labor intensity, improving throughput by up to 20 percent per
shift. As a result, companies are shifting from traditional batch setups to
connected smart factories, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness to client
specifications.
There is growing demand for ERW pipes
with advanced coatings and high-performance steel grades designed for harsh
environments such as offshore, marine, and chemical processing. Coated
products—like zinc aluminum, epoxy, and advanced polymer layers—are being
specified in 30–40 percent of new pipeline projects due to extended service
life. Demand for high strength low alloy (HSLA) and dual phase steels in ERW
tubes has risen, now comprising 20–25 percent of new shipments in automotive
and construction sectors. Ultra low carbon and micro alloyed grades are also
being adopted for projects requiring minimal weld heat affected zones.
Specialty variants capable of handling hydrogen or sour gas environments are
emerging, with certifications required up to 20 percent more stringent than
standard oil & gas applications. These premium-quality tubes command price
premiums of 10–15 percent but cater to high-margin niche segments.

Based on type, Pressure Tubing is the
fastest growing segment in the global Electric Resistance Welded Pipes and
Tubes market during the forecast period, due to its critical role in high-pressure fluid and
gas transmission across industrial applications. These tubes are specifically
engineered to withstand elevated pressures and are widely used in sectors such
as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and hydraulic systems. As
industrial processes demand enhanced reliability and safety, pressure tubing
becomes indispensable due to its superior tensile strength, dimensional
precision, and corrosion resistance. The growing adoption of ERW pressure
tubing in hydraulic circuits and pneumatic control systems is driving demand,
particularly in manufacturing-intensive economies. The tubes are also gaining
significant traction in the renewable energy sector, particularly hydrogen
transport and geothermal systems, where reliable high-pressure containment is
essential. Moreover, regulatory pressure for safety compliance in pipeline
infrastructure is pushing companies to replace legacy systems with
high-performance welded pressure tubes.
Technological advancements in welding precision and
material coatings are enhancing product lifecycle and performance, which
further accelerates market penetration. Industries are increasingly opting for
ERW pressure tubing over seamless alternatives due to cost efficiency, reduced
production time, and scalability in diameter and wall thickness customization.
Additionally, the rising trend of modular construction in infrastructure
projects—particularly in HVAC systems, chemical processing, and water desalination—requires
high-pressure, durable piping systems. Emerging economies in Asia and the
Middle East are expanding oil & gas refining and petrochemical capacity,
increasing demand for high-pressure tubing. The enhanced adoption of automation
and advanced welding technologies also supports this segment's growth
trajectory. With a strong balance between mechanical performance,
cost-effectiveness, and safety assurance, ERW pressure tubing is anticipated to
lead market growth during the forecast period.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is the
fastest growing region in the Global Electric Resistance Welded Pipes and Tubes
Market during the forecast period primarily driven by robust industrialization,
infrastructural expansion, and energy sector investments across key countries
such as China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations. The region's booming
construction industry, spurred by smart cities, transportation corridors, and
large-scale residential and commercial developments, is driving significant
demand for ERW pipes in structural and plumbing applications. The oil & gas
sector in Asia Pacific is undergoing transformation with new refinery projects,
LNG terminals, and pipeline expansions. Countries like India and China are
investing heavily in energy security and distribution networks, necessitating
reliable and cost-efficient pipe solutions like ERW tubes for fluid transport
and structural support. Furthermore, the adoption of hydrogen as an alternative
energy source is opening new opportunities for ERW pipe applications in energy
storage and distribution infrastructure.
Asia Pacific's manufacturing ecosystem is also
evolving, particularly in automotive, chemical, and power generation sectors,
where pressure and mechanical tubing applications are witnessing sharp growth.
Government policies encouraging local manufacturing, such as India’s “Make in
India” and China's “Made in China 2025,” are further stimulating demand. These
policies also include incentives and subsidies for industries using advanced
steel products, including welded pipes and tubes. The competitive advantage of
Asia Pacific lies in its cost-effective labor, raw material availability, and
rapidly advancing fabrication technologies. Additionally, numerous regional
players are investing in expanding production capacities and adopting automation
in welding processes to enhance product quality and meet international
standards. With an expanding middle class, rising urbanization, and increasing
exports of fabricated pipe components, Asia Pacific is poised to maintain its
position as the fastest-growing ERW pipe market. Strategic government backing,
energy transition initiatives, and a robust construction outlook will continue
to fuel sustained demand.
