Global Spiral Submerged Arc-Welding Pipe (SSAW) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Spiral Submerged Arc-Welding Pipe (SSAW) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5,987 million in 2025 to US$ 7,685 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Spiral Submerged Arc-Welding Pipe (SSAW) is its forward direction and forming tube centerline hose reel molding angle (adjustable), side molding edge welding and weld them into a spiral. SSAW Pipe (Spiral Submerged Arc-Welding Pipe), also called HSAW pipe, welding line shape like a helix. In 2024, global Spiral Submerged Arc-Welding Pipe (SSAW) production reached approximately 5927 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 998.1 per MT. Global production capacity in 2024 is approximately 7900 K MT. The upstream of the Spiral Submerged Arc-Welded Pipe (SSAW) industry mainly includes hot-rolled steel coil/plate, welding consumables, and coating/lining materials, supplied by companies such as Baosteel, POSCO, Nippon Steel, ESAB, Lincoln Electric, 3M, and Borealis. The downstream covers oil & gas pipelines, municipal water systems, piling and infrastructure projects, and industrial/power utilities, with key clients including Aramco, CNPC, ExxonMobil, American Water Works, Bechtel, and CCCC.

The Spiral Submerged Arc-Welded Pipe (SSAW) is a type of large-diameter steel pipe manufactured from hot-rolled steel coils through helical forming and double-sided submerged arc welding. It is extensively used in oil & gas transmission pipelines, municipal water and wastewater projects, marine and bridge piling, and industrial fluid systems. Owing to its high production efficiency, flexible diameter range, and lower cost, SSAW pipes are widely adopted in medium-to-low pressure and large-diameter applications. Driven by continuous infrastructure investment, expansion of oil & gas and hydrogen transmission networks, and increasing demand for water management projects, the SSAW market has maintained stable growth. Leading manufacturers include Welspun Corp, Jindal SAW, AMERICAN SpiralWeld Pipe, Northwest Pipe Company, EVRAZ North America, Borusan Mannesmann, Shengli Oil & Gas Pipe Holdings Ltd., and Jiangsu Yulong Steel Pipe Technology Co., Ltd. Most producers possess integrated manufacturing and coating facilities certified to API 5L, AWWA C200, and ASTM A252 standards. With the rise of hydrogen pipelines, offshore wind foundations, and inter-basin water transfer projects, the SSAW pipe industry is evolving toward higher-strength grades, thicker walls, and advanced multi-layer anti-corrosion systems.
