In 2018 the last year tendencies will persist on the steel pipes market: OCTG pipes demand will be increasing because of the growth of drilling.
ChTPZ intends to increase its share in the supplies of pipes for construction of compressor plants.
“This year the group plans to retain its output volumes on the previous year level. And for the next couple of years we forecast the change in the structure of the domestic market and the possible shift in shares because of the increase in competition in large diameter pipes segment and the completion of a number of major infrastructure projects. To retain our positions we will continue developing exports and mastering the manufacture of new high-value products, in particular, pipes with premium-joints”, ChTPZ CEO Boris Kovalenkov said.
