Demand for conduit pipe and tubing is forecast to rise 2.3% per year to $2.6 billion in 2024. Gains will represent a significant slowdown from the 2014-2019 period, restrained by a weaker outlook for the building construction industry, the primary driver of demand for conduit. In particular, advances in market value will slow due to forecast declines in commercial building construction – which tends to use higher value conduit – in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic
However, there are a number of tailwinds boosting demand for conduit going forward. These include:
The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the construction industry in 2020, as major construction projects were put on hold or abandoned. New construction and commercial buildings – the primary outlets for conduit – were the most negatively impacted. As a result, conduit demand declined at a double-digit pace in 2020.
While new residential construction began to rebound in late 2020 and is expected to continue to rise through 2024, the outlook for commercial construction is less rosy. The pandemic has led to a poor climate for business investment on top of significant uncertainly about the future of offices and other commercial buildings. As a result, commercial construction activity is expected to continue to decline in 2021. This will restrain demand for conduit, particularly metal and aluminum types, which are heavily employed in commercial and industrial construction.
Wireless service providers began installing 5G network infrastructure in late 2019 and will continue to build network capacity over the coming years. This will be a boon for conduit, as 5G infrastructure requires the installation of thousands of miles of new fiber optic cabling. Fiber optic cables are more sensitive to moisture and mechanical stress than coaxial cables, and thus require greater protection through the use of conduit.
