Market Segmentation

The United States steel pipes & tubes market share is classified into type, application, and end-use.

• The welded steel pipes segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States steel pipes & tubes market is segmented by type into seamless steel pipes, welded steel pipes, spiral welded pipes, submerged arc welded pipes, and high-frequency welded pipes. Among these, the welded steel pipes segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to its cost-effectiveness, faster production, and suitability for a wide range of applications, including construction and energy sectors. Compared to seamless pipes, welded pipes offer greater versatility and lower manufacturing costs, making them preferred for infrastructure projects and industrial uses across the country.

• The oil & gas segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States steel pipes & tubes market is segmented by application into oil & gas, water & sewerage, industrial & construction, automotive, and aerospace. Among these, the oil & gas segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the sector’s extensive use of durable, high-strength pipes for exploration, drilling, and transportation of hydrocarbons. The demand for reliable pipelines in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, coupled with ongoing energy infrastructure investments, makes oil & gas the largest application segment.

• The commercial segment held the highest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States steel pipes & tubes market is segmented by end-use into commercial and residential. Among these, the commercial segment held the highest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is because commercial construction involves larger-scale projects such as office buildings, factories, and infrastructure, requiring extensive use of steel pipes for structural support and utilities.
