India`s drill pipe import shipments in 2024 were primarily sourced from top exporting countries including China, Metropolitan France, India, UAE, and Thailand. Despite the high concentration with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 experienced a decline of -25.79%. Additionally, the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 further decreased by -15.13%, indicating a challenging market environment for drill pipe imports in India.

The India drill pipe market is estimated to be valued at around US$ 54.10 million and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.75% during the forecast period. The growth of the drilling sector has been credited for driving this market, as India currently holds the second-largest drilling fleet worldwide. The increasing demand for oil & gas and subsequent exploration activities across onshore and offshore regions are likely to drive the demand for drill pipes in India over the coming years. Moreover, with advances in technologies such as automation in well construction, there will be an increased adoption of high-end products like connectionless drill pipes that will further propel market growth over the forecast period.
The drill pipe market in India has grown due to the growth in oil and gas exploration and production activities. As India strives to enhance its energy security, the demand for drill pipes for onshore and offshore drilling has increased. The surge in investments in the oil and gas sector has also contributed to the expansion of the drill pipe market.
In the India drill pipe market, challenges stem from the demand for high-quality and technologically advanced drill pipes to support various drilling operations. Manufacturers must maintain strict quality control and address issues like drill pipe fatigue and wear to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
The India drill pipe market faced challenges during the pandemic due to the slowdown in the oil and gas industry. Reduced drilling activities and fluctuations in oil prices impacted the demand for drill pipes. The restrictions on movement and international trade also affected the import and export of drill pipes, impacting the market`s growth.
In the India drill pipe market, key players include Vallourec S.A., Tenaris S.A., and TMK Group. These companies are prominent manufacturers of drill pipes used in the oil and gas exploration industry.
Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
