Global Subsea Thermal Insulation Materials Market: Synopsis

Subsea thermal insulation is a protective thermal insulation coating that protects substances that are immersed deeply in cold water. This kind of coating offers thermal stability to the substances and enables their seamless functioning in deep water. Moreover, a large number of subsea thermal insulation materials, components, and subsea pipes find lucrative applications in the oil & gas industry. In the absence of subsea thermal insulation, the oil flow can get cooled and begin to hydrate, thereby leading to waxy deposits and restriction of the flow of the oil. Reportedly, firms in the oil & gas exploring business are venturing into deep-water oil & gas exploration projects owing to escalating demand for oil & gas. This has generated more demand for subsea thermal insulation materials. For the record, subsea thermal insulation is also utilized in some of the drilling applications.

Subsea Thermal Insulation Materials Market: Segmentation

The global subsea thermal insulation materials market is sectored into type, application, and region.

In terms of type, the global subsea thermal insulation materials market is segmented into polypropylene, polyurethane, epoxy, silicone rubber, and aerogels segments. Apparently, the polyurethane segment, which made lucrative contributions of about 44% towards the global market share in 2022, is anticipated to escalate the trend of using cost-effective insulation materials having low thermal conduction. Moreover, the product has better heat transfer co-efficient and this will drive the growth of the segment.

Based on the application, the global subsea thermal insulation materials industry is divided into field joints, pipe covers, equipment, and pipe-in-pipe segments. Furthermore, the pipe-in-pipe segment is set to dominate the application sphere in the upcoming years. The growth of the segment over the assessment timeline can be credited to exceptional insurance performance, stability, and high mechanical strength. In addition to this, the utilization of pipes manufactured from corrosion-resistant alloys to increase the operational life and performance of pipe-in-pipe systems will further boost segmental growth.

Recent Breakthroughs

• In the first quarter of 2023, Vipo solutions, a Norwegian firm and pioneer in polymer solutions and producing thermal insulation solutions, acquired technology firm Deleta, a green chemistry firm. This will help the former in improving processes, material expertise, and non-oil & gas applications. Reportedly, the acquisition raises Vipo’s focus on producing and commercializing new materials for various offshore applications. The move will benefit the growth of the subsea thermal insulation materials business in Europe and across the globe.
• In February 2023, Rockwell Technical Insulation, a key supplier of fire-resilient stone wool insulation solutions, launched a next-gen ProRox® Mat equipped with WR-Tech for pipes having large diameters as well as for vessels & columns and other applications with large diameters. The new product offers protection against corrosion through insulation by retaining the dryness of the steel surfaces.
