Global OCTG Supply Chain Services Procurement Trends

Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global OCTG Supply Chain Services market.

Neutral


Crude oil prices dip, but natural gas and fuel prices remain volatile in 2025

  • Oil prices have been falling with the introduction of higher tariffs and the predicted decline in global demand. The OPEC+ group of countries also announced they would be unwinding production cuts and increasing their collective output target for May by 411,000 barrels per day.
  • Trade wars, ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and general unrest in the Middle East are causing uncertainty surrounding oil prices, which has led to volatility in prices. In the third week of May 2025, crude oil prices hit $63.67 per barrel, but volatility remains as geopolitical concerns remain.
  • Natural gas prices rallied early in 2025 with colder-than-usual temperatures in the United States and high demand, topping out at $4.68/MMBtu in March. Prices have since fallen with the onset of trade wars and weakening demand projections to $3.64/MMBtu in the third week of May 2025.
  • The national average of gasoline prices has been rising slightly due to refinery maintenance/outages and blending issues, hitting a national average of $3.15 per gallon in the third week of May 2025. However, gasoline futures have been volatile, falling due to fears of oversupply and deepening concerns about weakening demand with tariffs, but rising after trade deals.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

The low level of average vendor risk supports buyer power by reducing the risk of supplier bankruptcy. Supplier bankruptcy could lead to financial losses for buyers if they have invested money in a contract.

High market share concentration undermines buyer power due to the limited availability of vendors, which results in a low level of price competition.

High supply chain risk limits buyer power by exposing buyers to the risk of price increases and fluctuations stemming from disruptions to the supply of input goods.

The United States is a net importer of oil country tubular goods, importing more than it exports. Although imports may offer cost savings, sourcing internationally may also entail higher shipping costs and longer delivery times.
