Major trends in the forecast period include popularity of multilayer pipes, focus on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, expansion of oil and gas pipeline infrastructure, technological advancements in pipe fittings, impact of regulatory standards.
The rising demand for housing construction is anticipated to fuel the growth of the plastic pipes and pipe fittings market. Construction involves creating physical structures or infrastructure using tools, materials, and techniques to meet specific requirements. In construction, plastic pipes and fittings are commonly used for plumbing, drainage, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems in homes due to their durability, ease of installation, and cost advantages over traditional metal options. For example, the UK's Office for National Statistics reported in November 2023 that total construction activity grew by $19,781.69 million in 2022, with new private and public projects increasing by 16.8% and 13.1%, respectively, compared to 2021. As a result, the growing demand for housing construction is driving the expansion of the plastic pipes and fittings market.
The escalating need for water supply infrastructure is poised to propel the plastic pipes and pipe fitting market further. As global water consumption soared to 2002 trillion cubic meters in 2022, with projections estimating a 20% to 30% surge in demand by 2050, the role of pipes and fittings in efficient water conveyance becomes pivotal. Pipes facilitate the effective transportation of water, vital for individuals, businesses, and community projects. A report by Lawnstarter highlighted a significant increase in water consumption globally, emphasizing the growing necessity for water supply systems. This surge in demand substantiates the driving force behind the growth of plastic pipes and fittings.
Leading companies in the plastic pipes and pipe fittings market are introducing advanced materials, such as high-performance polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), to improve durability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, meeting the growing demands for reliability and efficiency across various industrial applications. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a high-performance, semi-crystalline thermoplastic known for its outstanding thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, which make it ideal for challenging applications in the automotive, electronics, and industrial sectors. For example, in September 2024, the Belgium-based chemicals company Syensqo introduced Ryton PPS XE-5000NA, an advanced extrudable PPS material specifically engineered for high-performance piping applications. This material offers superior chemical and permeation resistance, making it particularly well-suited for use in inner liners, stand-alone, and composite pipes, as it performs exceptionally in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Its excellent extrusion properties also enhance processability, positioning it as a strong alternative to traditional piping materials like polyethylene and polyamide.
Leading companies in the plastic pipes and fittings market are continuously developing innovative solutions, such as advanced pipe systems, to boost efficiency, improve durability, and address the rising need for sustainable and reliable infrastructure across various applications. Advanced pipe systems are complex networks of interconnected pipes, fittings, and valves engineered to transport fluids or gases efficiently in a wide range of industrial settings, providing durability and resistance to harsh conditions. For example, in May 2024, the Swiss family-owned polymer company REHAU launched RAUVITHERM, a pre-insulated pipe system designed to enable efficient heat transfer in applications like district heating and heat pumps by reducing thermal loss during fluid transport. This forward-thinking piping solution enhances energy efficiency and supports decarbonization goals by facilitating the installation of renewable energy systems. Its flexibility and robust performance make it ideal for both new and retrofitted heating networks, meeting the increasing demand for sustainable infrastructure.
