US demand for water and wastewater pipe is expected to rise 8.2 percent per year to $17.8 billion in 2016. The building construction market will lead gains as it rebounds from recent declines, followed by the municipal market. Plastic will be the fastest-growing pipe material as it continues gaining market share over competing products.

This study analyzes the $11.9 billion US water and wastewater pipe industry, with forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by market (e.g., municipal, building construction), application (e.g., sewer and drain, potable water, irrigation) and product (e.g., plastic, concrete, ductile iron, steel, copper).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 45 industry players, including JM Eagle, Advanced Drainage Systems and Hanson Pipe & Precast.
