Additionally, Indian compa nies have acquired global accreditations and certifications which make them preferred suppliers to most of the world s top oil and gas companies in the Middle East, North America and Europe. CARE Research believes that once the global economy re turns to sustained growth, the domestic pipe industry is expected to accelerate into high growth trajectory. As per CARE Research, Indian pipe manufacturers will be greatly benefited when E xploration & Production (E&P) projects for oil and gas companies which were previously stalled or revoked because of t

he global financial crisis recommence their operations. This new spurt in demand will be positive for future growth. CARE Research s report on Indian Pipe Industry y on global and domestic capacities, gives valuable insight of the industr

demand-supply gap analysis of domestic market, export market for domestic compan ies, replacement demand, competition and commentary on top industry players. We have reported demand break-up within each segment of steel pipes like SAW, ERW and Seamless pipes. For SAW pipes, our demand forecasting is derived from se veral upcoming pipeline projects expected in India and globally coupled with the replacement demand. For ERW pipe s, which are primarily used for City Gas Distribution network, we have calculated our demand based on several o ngoing natural gas pipeline projects in India. For Seamless pipes which are extensively used for E&P projects; our de mand is based on onshore and offshore metreage drilled. Additionally, we have detailed analysis on PVC and HDPE pipes which have become preferred material in the construction industry and several government projects. The cost analysis and pricing informat ion presented in the report will help the reader identify the critical cost items and their trends. The company overview s ection in the report provides detailed profiles of the top seven players in the industry, including their financial an d operational data and product range. The report also provides manufacturing process and technical aspects in the ind ustry overview section. The report provides CARE Research s outlook and challenges on Indian pipe industry for the next 3-5 years along with a detailed demand break-up within each sub-segment of steel pipes. CARE Research has developed a robust methodology for forecasting domestic demand. It takes into account several initiatives taken by the Indian government to provide basic water supply and sanitation and also emphasizes on oil and gas sector whic h serves as a backbone to the pipe industry as a whole. There are two types of methodologies and their differences are:1) Quantitative Research Methodology & 2) Qualitative Research Methodology

Researchers are often faced with the decision of choosing the methodology that best suits their study and objectives. There are both advantages and disadvantages and strengths and weaknesses to quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. In the end, the researcher needs to make a choice of whi ch option works best for the particular study at hand. Statistical Data:Quantitative research relies mainly on statistical information and numbers. The researcher usually takes a look at large samples of groups of people. These numbers are then analyzed to find correlations among the data. For example, if the statistics show that certain health behaviors, such as junk food, l ead to more cases of diabetes, then the researcher concludes that there is a causal link between the two variable s. Data Analysis:Qualitative research is usually more time-consuming as it may involve analyz ing longer descriptive passages or descriptions instead of numbers. In these cases, the researcher investigate s attitudes, experiences and personal opinions of a smaller group of people but in more detail. The information w ill not necessarily provide statistical information but rather give insight into different processes and explain r easons. For example, the researcher wants to find out why people turn to destructive behaviors and analyzes ea ch participant's response carefully to draw her conclusions. Surveys and Questionnaires:Each methodology has its own tools for gathering information. Surveys and qu estionnaires that include multiple-choice questions work best for generating quantitative data. These surveys can be ad ministered on the street, over the phone or via mail. They usually target a large number of people so that the finding s become statistically more relevant and reliable.
