Offshore drilling for oil and gas reserves is expanding globally, driven by the need to explore untapped offshore reserves. Offshore drilling operations require specialized drill pipes designed to withstand harsh marine environments. The growing offshore drilling activities, especially in deepwater and ultra-deepwater regions, are fueling the demand for drill pipes.

Growing Demand for Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources: The increasing global demand for energy has led to the exploration and production of unconventional oil and gas resources, such as shale gas and tight oil. These resources require advanced drilling techniques, including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which in turn drive the demand for high-quality drill pipes capable of withstanding the challenging drilling conditions associated with unconventional reservoirs.

In 2023, the North America region led the global industry, accounting for more than 26.0% of total sales. The region is expected to grow at a moderate rate, maintaining its position during the projection period. Massive expenditures by major oil and gas companies in both conventional & unconventional areas have been the primary drivers of the region's first market penetration.
