Intelligent pigging is a type of inspection method where an inspection probe or smart pig is driven through pipelines for the collection of vital data like the presence and location of corrosion and other irregularities of the inner walls of the pipe. This enables the cleaning of pipelines by scrapping pipe side walls and removal of dirt and wreckage through it which avoids erosion-corrosion, pitting, weld anomalies, and metal loss.

Market Dynamics

The global intelligent pigging market has witnessed significant growth in recent past years, owing to the rising incorporation of automation technology by original equipment manufacturers and equipment vendors in various end-use industries. Pipe manufacturers are focusing on research and developments for improving pipeline inspections and maintenance which will enable efficient analysis of pipeline flow. This scenario is expected to provide lucrative growth to the global intelligent pigging market over the forecast period.

Major players in the global intelligent pigging market are increasing their investment in innovative product launchings, research & development, and marketing & promotional activities to capitalize on emerging trends in various end-use industries manufacturing, oil & gas, mining, and others. This scenario is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.

Intelligent pigging is a technique of inspecting a pipeline internally and gathering information regarding the presence and location of corrosion, bends, and other anomalies in the pipelines. The complexity of mandatory pipeline inspections and increased governmental regulations have led to the need for intelligent pigging services for pipelines. Pipeline operators need access to data to mitigate risk and ensure safety effectively by evaluating signs of metal loss, corrosion detection, and other physical defects.
