Intelligent pigging is the process of cleaning and inspecting pipes with non-destructible techniques like ultrasonic testing and magnetic flux inspection. Smart pigs are now a thing, thanks to technological advancements. To clean dirt and debris out of pipelines, pigs were formerly employed. To find longitudinal cracks, gouges, dents, and stress corrosion cracking in the pipeline, these are used.

Drivers: Asset integrity management relies heavily on the pipeline inspection process. In order to guarantee safety and efficiently reduce risks, pipeline operators must inspect for indications of metal loss, internal and exterior corrosion, and other anomalies. Carrying or sending huge amounts of combustible or explosive commodities through pipelines, such natural gas or oil, requires extreme safety precautions because even a tiny leak might have catastrophic effects. Smart pigging can be used to do inline inspections on gas or liquid pipelines. Intelligent pigging can assist with inline examination of gas or liquid pipes. It assists in identifying anomalies and focusing on areas that need more investigation, maintenance, or replacement. Governments all across the world have therefore mandated pipeline inline inspections. In addition, they are demanding that regular maintenance and inspections be carried out in order to guarantee the pipeline's long-term, safe operation—one of the main drivers of the market's expansion.

Challenges: The expansion and implementation of intelligent pigging in the Asia-Pacific area have been hindered by a number of noteworthy problems. The main obstacle is the COVID-19 pandemic's disruption of supply chains, which has caused delays in the delivery of vital supplies and equipment needed for intelligent pigging operations. Due to the impact these delays have had on project timetables and operational schedules, stakeholders have had to deal with higher prices and more complicated logistics. Furthermore, the implementation of intelligent pigging services has been hampered by the travel restrictions and lockdown measures associated to the pandemic, which has resulted in delays in planned maintenance and inspection tasks.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) intelligent pigging market, presenting both opportunities and challenges for the sector. Supply chain disruptions were a big concern since they caused delays in the delivery of equipment and smart pigging components, which extended project timelines. Travel restrictions and lockdown protocols also caused delays in operations, necessitating the cancelation or postponing of projects requiring ingenious pigging services. The downturn in the economy resulted in budget cuts and a reduction in funding for infrastructure projects, which influenced demand in all areas.
