CHAPTER 2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

SPINNER PIPES
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Indian pipe Industry is among the top three manufacturing hubs after Japan and Europe. However, the penetration level of pipelines in oil & gas transportation is low at 32% in India as compared to 59% in USA and 79% globally. The pipeline network of India for oil & gas transport stood at 13,517 kms in April 2006. Sanitation levels are also lower at 33% in India compared to 91% in Sri Lanka and 100% in France. Of 140 mm hectares of cultivable land in India, only 40% of the land is irrigated. The low penetration levels represent the huge scope for growth for the pipe industry. The industry is highly Raw Material (RM) intensive with the RM cost accounting for more than 70% of the total cost for steel and PVC pipe companies. These companies depend heavily on imports and hence many steel companies have integrated backward to reduce dependency on imports and price volatility. Freight cost is another key cost component due to higher imports and exports. With the fall in commodity prices and Baltic Dry Index (a barometer for shipping (freight rates), pipe companies will be benefited in the coming quarters. Indian companies produce a wide range of steel, cement and PVC pipes which are used in various critical and non-critical applications. Indian steel pipe manufacturing companies have won several certifications and accreditations from major oil & gas companies across the globe in the recent past. With the low-cost quality products and various certifications, Indian companies have augmented their export sales over the last three to four years. CARE Research expects the positive trend in the Indian pipe industry to continue in the next 3-5 years on the back of high oil and gas discoveries worldwide, increased efforts by the Government of India (GOI) on infrastructure development for laying pipelines for oil & gas transport, replacement demand from US and European countries water & sewage transport and irrigation facilities. Pipe Industry In the world The world needs pipe to survive for water, oil, gas & sewage. Pipes have been a fundamental part of civilization since 3,000 BC & as the world have developed, both in terms of population & infrastructure; the demand for pipe has expanded & is set.

SPINNER PIPES
Overview Pipe systems were first developed from clay & wood, but since the industrial revaluation, materials such as steel, ductile iron, plastic & concrete have become more prevalent. Fiber glass followed in the 1950 s with the development of downstream petrochemical products. Today the world needs pipe to survive. We are reliant on water, gas, oil, & electricity & Pipes carry these materials from their source to their users. Pipes also carry away waste & sewage, from categories & homes. Utilization Pipes are used across a diverse number of end markets for transmission & distribution or as engineering & manufacturing components. Historically, certain pipe materials have been associated with particular end-markets & applications e.g. steel pipes for gas transmission, however fiberglass has gained increasing acceptance in many end-markets.
