Polyolefin Pipes Global Market Report 2025

Polyolefin pipes are thermoplastic water supply pipes created from polymerized ethylene. They typically derive from a limited selection of basic olefins. These pipes are utilized for distributing water and gas, as well as for the disposal of sewage and wastewater.

The primary variations of polyolefin pipes encompass polypropylene pipes (PP), polyethylene pipes (PE), and plastomer. Polypropylene pipes result from propylene material polymerization and find application in transporting various substances like clean water, organic solvents, acids, and alkalis. Renowned for their low density and exceptional chemical resistance, PP pipes offer versatility in HVAC applications and are widely utilized across sectors including building and construction, agriculture, and industrial settings. Their uses span irrigation, potable water systems, plumbing, wastewater drainage, power and communication networks, industrial operations, chemical transportation, and more.

The polyolefin pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.15 billion in 2024 to $21.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development, replacement of aging pipelines, chemical industry usage, oil and gas sector demand, sustainable solutions.

The polyolefin pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global economic factors, infrastructure investments, water management initiative, urban development, pipeline rehabilitation. Major trends in the forecast period include global economic trends, material advantages, market competition and innovation, quality and standards compliance, government initiatives.

The growth of sprinkler and drip irrigation is anticipated to boost the polyolefin pipes market. Sprinkler irrigation is an advanced method of irrigation where water is delivered under pressure and sprayed through nozzles connected to a network of pipes. The rise of sprinkler and drip irrigation is attributed to increasing water scarcity and the need to enhance agricultural productivity and resource efficiency. The demand for polyolefin pipes will surge as they are recognized for their effectiveness, exceptional abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, which contribute to a long service life. For example, in February 2024, the Indian government set a target to achieve 10 million (1 crore) hectares under drip and sprinkler irrigation within five years, starting from 2021-22. To support this initiative, the government established a drip and sprinkler irrigation fund of $1.2 billion (INR 100 billion) with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), the Indian apex regulatory body for regional rural banks and apex cooperative banks. Thus, the expansion of sprinkler and drip irrigation is a key factor driving the demand for polyolefin pipes.

The increasing emphasis on renewable energy is expected to further propel the polyolefin pipes market. Renewable energy refers to energy sourced from natural resources that can be replenished on a human timescale. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and non-renewable, renewable energy sources are sustainable and can regenerate naturally over time. Polyolefin pipes play a crucial role in renewable energy applications, particularly in geothermal heating systems and solar thermal installations. Typically made from materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these pipes demonstrate excellent chemical resistance, durability, and thermal stability. In geothermal heating systems, polyolefin pipes effectively transfer heat from the Earth's interior to buildings for space heating or cooling. Additionally, they are utilized in solar thermal systems to transport heated fluids, aiding in the generation of clean and sustainable energy. For instance, in September 2024, data released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, a UK government department, indicated that renewable energy accounted for 51.6% of total energy generation in the UK in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting an increase of 9.9 percentage points (PP) compared to the same period in 2023. Therefore, the growing focus on renewable energy is driving the polyolefin pipes market.

Technological advancement is a significant trend gaining traction in the polyolefin pipes market. Major players in the industry are concentrating on developing polyolefin pipes with cutting-edge technologies that offer next-generation features such as lightweight design, high strength, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to secure a competitive advantage. For example, in January 2024, Borouge introduced new polyolefin solutions tailored for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market. These innovations aim to address the increasing demand for high-performance materials in sectors like infrastructure, water management, and energy. The new solutions emphasize enhancing the durability, flexibility, and environmental sustainability of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) pipes, which are crucial for various applications, including gas distribution, water supply, and wastewater management. This launch aligns with the broader trend in the polyolefin pipes market, where manufacturers are introducing advanced materials to meet the demands of expanding infrastructure projects.

Leading companies in the polyolefin pipes market are unveiling innovative products, such as twin-screw and single-screw extrusion lines, to maintain their competitive positions. Twin-screw and single-screw extrusion lines are types of machinery used in the plastic extrusion process, which melts and shapes plastic materials. For instance, in March 2022, Bausano, an Italy-based extrusion manufacturer, launched next-generation twin-screw and single-screw extrusion lines for PVC and polyolefin (PO) pipes. The company showcased its MD Nextmover 170/30 model, featuring a double exit die head that enables an overall production capacity exceeding 4,400 lb/h. Notable innovations include two 9-mm parallel calibration benches arranged in a two-chamber configuration with temperature and water level control, allowing for the creation of various vacuum conditions as needed, and a high-performance pipe cooling system that rapidly cools pipes, enhancing their quality and minimizing space requirements during installation. Stainless-steel cooling and calibration benches contribute to the production of pipes with a flawless surface. These new screw lines are applicable in construction, agriculture, and medical sectors.

In October 2024, Borouge, a Singapore-based company involved in constructing and operating a petrochemical complex, formed a partnership with Union Pipes Industry to improve the production and recycling capabilities of polyolefin materials, making a significant contribution to the circular economy in the UAE. Union Pipes Industry is a manufacturer of large-diameter HDPE and PP plastic pipes based in the UAE.
