Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Pipes Market,' The pipes market was valued at $119.5 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $209.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2023 to 2032. Pipes are hollow cylindrical structures, designed to transport liquids, gases, and slurries. They come in various materials, including plastic, metal, concrete, and composites. Plastic pipes are commonly made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and other composite plastics. Metal pipes are constructed using materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, copper, aluminum, and others.Key factors driving the growth of the pipes market include rise in the number of new buildings, rise in infrastructural development in developing economies, and rise in industrialization in developing economies. The government and private entities use pipes in their various facilities such as wastewater treatment plants, community water pumps, sewage, and various others. For instance, the exponential rise in the global population is leading to increase in volume of sewage generation globally. Thus, countries across the globe, especially developed countries, have established various wastewater treatment facilities; thereby driving the demand for large and small-diameter pipes. Similarly, to address the water shortage problems, countries are upgrading and expanding their water transportation infrastructure. For instance, the Mexico government is upgrading its water infrastructure, to bring water from the central part of the country to the parts facing water shortages. Similarly, other developing economies across the globe, such as India, China, Brazil, South Africa, and others, are investing heavily to upgrade water transportation infrastructure. Furthermore, developing economies are also spending significantly to develop and upgrade their oil and gas pipelines to transport oil and gas across the country in a cost-effective manner. For instance, in July 2022, China started a project to upgrade old municipal gas pipelines in Heilongjiang province for higher safety. Similarly, the government of India has set a target to increase the contribution of gas from 6% in the financial year 2019 to 15% in the financial year 2030 in its total energy consumption. For this, India is expanding its gas pipeline network from 16,905 km in 2019 to 27,000 km by 2030. Such infrastructural developments, which make extensive use of pipes, drive the growth of the pipes market globally.
Moreover, pipes are made with various types of materials, such as cPVC, uPVC, HDPE, stainless steel, iron, copper, and various others. However, with advancements in material technology and advancements in manufacturing processes, new materials are being developed to manufacture pipes. For example, in May 2022, Poppe + Potthoff GmbH, a manufacturer of innovative precision steel tubes, common rails, pipes, precision-turned parts, and couplings, launched a pipe OD6.35ID4 for 700 bar hydrogen applications. This innovative pipe is made using alloyed carbon steel, which has high mechanical properties that further enhanced by the company’s proprietary annealing treatment process. This annealing treatment process allows the pipe to be stronger than a comparable steel pipe with the same thickness. Similarly, in 2020, Baker Hughes and Saudi Aramco formed a joint venture company, namely, Novel Non-Metallic Solutions, to develop composite materials for oil & gas pipelines. Furthermore, multi-layer composite pipes have also been developed in the last decade and are witnessing increased utilization in building services for drinking water and heating & cooling installations under the floor and in walls, owing to their durability and strength. The development of such innovative material helps the manufacturer to find a unique position in the highly saturated pipes market. Therefore, development of new materials is expected to provide growth opportunities for the key players in the market.
The pipes market is segmented on the basis of material, diameter, application, and region. By material, the market is divided into metal, thermoplastic, concrete, and thermoset & composite.
