Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Market Outlook
Market for Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Looks Lucrative as Crude Oil Trades Above $110 per Barrel
Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) is a family of seamless and welded rolled products consisting of drill pipes, casing, and tubing solutions that are subjected to loading conditions according to their specific application. In the oil & gas industry, directional drilling and an ever-growing number of new projects operating in more challenging environments have contributed to the undergoing process of shifting OCTG demand more towards higher heat-treated grades. According to Fairfield Market Research, the global oil country tubular goods (OCTG) market is expected to be worth US$65,940.3 Mn by 2026 from US$34,286.8 Mn in 2020. Between the forecast years of 2021 and 2026, the market is expected to surge at CAGR of 12.6%.
Oil country tubular goods market offers corrosion-resistance products which are specially developed to handle oil & gas operation without any breakdown or failure. Thus, these products must be standardized and must be API certified with the ability to withstand harsh conditions during the oil & gas operation. Oil country tubular goods (OCTGs) are extensively utilised in upstream oil and gas industry. OCTG market has vast potential with scope for application in oil & gas drilling especially in well intervention and well testing phase.
Energy Security Coupled with Rise in Crude Oil Prices to Benefit Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Market
The key drivers for the growth of the global oil country tubular goods market include the rig counts, new oil & gas discoveries, increasing demand for oil and gas, accelerating economic growth, rising energy consumption, growing shale oil production, and increasing investment in offshore drilling exploration activities. The biggest driver of OCTG demand is the drilling activities in the oil & gas industry. Energy security followed by growing demand for LNG has triggered investments in exploitation of available oil & gas reserves. This has surged the demand for OCTG and will grow at a fair rate till 2030. Offshore intervention of oil & gas has been looked upon to minimize the demand-supply gap for petroleum products in the near future. Companies are coming-up with phase-wise investments into offshore E&P industry.
Increasing usage of steel-based OCTG products (such as drill pipes, tubing, and casing pipe) in the oil and gas sector is the key driver for the growth. A slow and steady climb in the international drill rig count is driving the sales of oil country tubular goods, especially of premium grades, typically used in offshore drilling.
The COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted OCTG supply, demand, and logistics, leading to lower sales in 2020. Many countries like Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, and India have been shut down for frequent and long periods, which affected international trade. Some large drilling plans in Australia have been postponed for three to six months. Positive signs of market recovery were detected during 2021 and forecast better years ahead. Furthermore, ongoing war between Russia-Ukraine have pushed the prices of crude oil to $135 per barrel. Higher volatility in crude oil prices is expected throughout 2022. Crude oil could even hit $200 a barrel this year. New and backlog oil & gas drilling projects is expected to rise in the near future. This is likely to drive the global oil country tubular goods market.
Seamless OCTG Products Segment Leads With More than 50% Share in Total Market Valuation
In terms of type, the OCTG market has been segregated into seamless and welded. Currently, seamless segment dominated and constituted 59.1% of the global oil country tubular goods market valuation in 2020. This includes threaded drill pipe, casing, and tubing that are used in drilling, equipping, and operating oil and gas wells. High share of the segment can be attributed to increasing demand for better and reliable products in the oil and gas industry. Compared to their welded counterparts, seamless OCTG products can withstand high pressure, high temperature, higher mechanical stress, and corrosive atmosphere, accounting for their higher demand in the oil country tubular goods market.
Premium OCTG Grade to Register Higher Growth by 2026
In terms of grade, API segment dominated and constituted 69.9% of the global oil country tubular goods market valuation in 2020. Globally, majority of oil & gas companies prefer API grade which are less costly when compared to the premium grades. However, as investments in offshore E&P is increasing, majority of upstream players in the oil & gas industry is shifting towards premium grades of OCTG products. Thus, proprietary grade of OCTG is highly preferred in the offshore oil & gas industry. Thus, sales of premium grade of OCTG are expected to rise in the next few years.
Rising Offshore Oil & Gas Intervention to Fuel Growth of Global Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Market
In terms of application, the oil country tubular goods market has been segregated into onshore and offshore. Currently, onshore segment dominated and constituted more than 70% of the global oil country tubular goods market valuation in 2020. After crude oil prices reached $100 per barrel, there has been increasing interests towards exploration of offshore oil & gas assets. Even majority of on-hold offshore oil & gas projects is beginning to realize funds. This has paved ways for increase in demand for OCTG products in the offshore oil & gas industry and is expected to grow more in the years to come.
Asia Pacific Region to Witness a Surge in OCTG Orders Intake
In 2020, North America constituted 41.9% share of the global oil country tubular goods market. North America dominated the market for oil country tubular goods on the back of growing exploration and exploitation of shale gas reserves within the region, which tend to raise the demand for drill pipes, casing, and tubing OTG products. In U.S., a rich mix of solid interest and supply snugness in the OCTG market is driving costs upwards. Consistent packaging from US factories has encountered around a $70/NT month-on-month increment. Penetrating action keeps on expanding, set off by higher oil and gas costs, and further development is logical temporarily, while US OCTG plants are chipping away at their ability limits.
In terms of CAGR, Asia Pacific is expected witness surge in sales of OCTG products. The region is expected to grow at 9.1% CAGR from 2021-2026 in terms of volume (TTPA). In Asia Pacific, China dominates the OCTG market in terms of both supply and demand. In September 2020, the establishment of PipeChina compelled CNPC and Sinopec to focus more on offshore drilling activities and international drilling tenders. The companies’ primary oilfield and pipeline sources on the mainland were transferred to PipeChina, thus opening opportunities to expand their energy reach.
Global Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) Market Is a Highly Competitive Landscape

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
