Gas Pipeline Transportation in the US Industry Data and Analysis
Over the past five years, the US gas pipeline industry has experienced modest but stable growth, with a chief driver being the continued expansion and modernization of pipeline networks amid robust demand for natural gas. The sector has benefited from the strategic importance of natural gas for electric power generation, rapid LNG export growth and industrial activity, all contributing to higher throughput across the pipeline grid. As gas pipeline operators navigated pandemic-induced pressures in 2020, long-term contracts provided revenue and profit stability while production surged in response to rising natural gas prices and the shale boom. These dynamics, in combination with heightened European demand following sanctions on Russian gas, allowed the industry to strengthen profitability and maintain high asset utilization. Industry profit remains robust, with profit accounting for 42.4% of revenue in 2025. In this environment, the industry’s current five-year revenue CAGR stands at 1.3%, with this year’s growth rate at 1.6% and total revenue reaching $42.4 billion by the end of 2025.
