The export market for Spiral Welded Steel Pipe (SSAW) is shaped by shifting energy strategies, infrastructure cycles, and evolving trade policies. While demand remains resilient, buyers and sellers are navigating new realities in pricing, compliance, and logistics. Here’s a concise look at what’s moving the market—and how to stay ahead.
SSAW pipes are produced by spirally forming hot-rolled steel coils into a pipe shape, followed by automatic submerged arc welding along the spiral seam. This welding method ensures deep penetration and uniform strength, making SSAW pipes suitable for high-pressure and long-distance pipeline projects.
Unlike other types of welded pipes, SSAW pipes offer excellent flexibility in diameter and wall thickness, which allows for a wide range of design customization.
