Intelligent Pigging Industry, Intelligent pigging industry supports safe oil & gas transport with in-line inspection and predictive pipeline monitoring.

The Intelligent Pigging Industry is a highly specialized sector that supports the safe and efficient operation of pipeline networks worldwide. This industry is comprised of a few major players who provide a full suite of services, from the design and manufacturing of the pigs themselves to the data analysis and consultation that follows an inspection. The industry is characterized by high barriers to entry due to the significant capital investment required for research and development, as well as the need for specialized technical expertise.

Key industry players continually innovate, developing more sophisticated tools that can inspect a wider range of pipelines, including those with complex geometries or those previously considered "unpiggable." The industry's value chain extends from the initial engineering and manufacturing of the inspection tools to their deployment and the subsequent interpretation of the vast amount of data collected. As an essential service, the industry's health is directly tied to the overall activity in the energy and petrochemical sectors.
