This study examines the US pipe industry, providing historical data for 2013, 2018, and 2023, along with forecasts for 2028 and 2033. It covers various competitive pipe materials, including steel, plastic, copper, ductile iron, concrete, aluminum, other nonferrous metals (such as titanium and nickel), and clay. The study also details different types of plastic pipes, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), crosslinked polyethylene (PEX), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), fiberglass, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and other resins.
Additionally, the report breaks down the pipe markets into market segments including structural and mechanical, potable water, oil and natural gas, storm and sanitary sewer (including large diameter culverts considered as drainage pipes), conduit, industrial processing, drain, waste, and vent, and irrigation. Annual data from 2020 to 2027 are also included, reflecting apparent consumption (production plus imports minus exports) in terms of dollars, pounds, and linear feet. For the purposes of this study, the terms "pipe," "tube," and "tubular products" are used interchangeably, although fittings and pipe lining/relining are excluded.
