The global HDPE pipes market size is expected to reach over US$ 32.5 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of ~6% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030.
The global HDPE pipes market is broadly affected by several factors, including usage of HDPE pipes in the sewage & drainage systems and water supply lines. Thus, increase in applications of HDPE pipes in various application sectors is propelling the global HDPE pipes market.
Demand for HDPE Pipes to Remain Steady amid COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak is expected to have a moderate impact on the overall growth of the global HDPE pipes market during the assessment period. Stringent lockdown measures in various parts of the world, restrictions on cross-border trade and transportation, and economic uncertainty around the world are some of the major factors that are likely to hinder the growth of the market for HDPE pipes during the assessment period. The market is likely to recover toward the third quarter of 2020, as the industrial domain around the world is gradually gaining momentum post the lockdown period.
Dynamics
HDPE pipes are extensively used in the sewage and drainage systems. The increase in public and private investment in construction and infrastructure sectors is expected to drive the demand for HDPE pipes in various water supply and drainage applications in the near future. The rise in usage of HDPE pipes in water and wastewater treatment industries is also anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the HDPE pipes market in the near future.
HDPE pipes are highly moldable and sustain high-pressure water flows. They are used to house underground water systems; plumbing, drainage, and sewage infrastructure; and farm irrigation systems.
Low cost and easy installation of HDPE pipes are major factors driving the demand for HDPE pipes in residential, commercial, and agriculture sectors for water distribution. The demand for HDPE pipes has been increasing significantly since the past few years, owing to the replacement of traditional metal pipes with HDPE pipes.
The suitability of HDPE pipes for industrial applications is estimated to propel the demand for these pipes in oil & gas distribution. HDPE pipes are extensively employed in new medium- and low-pressure oil & natural gas distribution systems and to repair older steel and cast iron systems.
Technological advancements have led to the development of plastics as substitutes for copper and other metals in certain applications. HDPE pipes are used as substitutes for aluminum and copper pipes in various applications such as agriculture, freshwater supply, drainage, and sewer. However, volatility in prices of polymers creates fluctuations in the demand for HDPE pipes.
Based on type, the PE 100 segment dominated the global HDPE pipes market in 2019. PE 100 pipes are easy to install, light, flexible, and corrosion free. They have a service life of up to 100 years. These pipes are primarily used as wastewater or drainage pipes, solids are transported with water. This can result in solids rubbing along the pipe invert. PE100 has the ideal abrasion resistance among the commonly used pressure pipe materials.
Based on application, the sewage/drainage segment accounted for major share of the global HDPE pipes market in 2019. The segment is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to a strong demand for HDPE pipes, led by its properties such as corrosion resistance, flexibility, and high strength.
Prominent Regions
The HDPE pipes market in Asia Pacific is expected to be expand at a significant pace during the forecast period, owing to the expansion of construction and oil & gas industries in countries of Asia Pacific such as China, India, Japan, and Malaysia. The HDPE pipes market in North America is projected to expand considerably during the forecast period, owing to the presence of numerous market players and the rise in the demand for HDPE pipes in the industrial sector in the region. The HDPE pipes market in Europe is also likely to expand during the forecast period, led by the rise in repair and replacement of old drainage systems with HDPE pipes in the region.
