Plastic Pipe - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 3898 | Published: 10/2020 | Pages: 101 | Individual User License: US$ 2,900

Plastic pipe demand is expected to grow 3.5% per year through 2024 to $14.4 billion. Plastic pipe will continue to capture market share from more traditional metal and concrete pipe materials in a number of applications.

Water & Sewer Infrastructure Upgrades to Benefit Plastic Pipe Suppliers

Water and sewer supply construction spending is forecast to see relatively healthy growth through 2024, as many communities face replacement of their aging water infrastructure. Federal spending is expected to constitute a significant driver of growth in these applications, especially as local and state government face budget shortfalls due to the negative economic impact of COVID-19.

Among the programs expected to boost water and sewer construction spending are:

  • the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA), which extended over $6 billion in loans in fiscal year 2019
  • the proposed America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2020, an update to the same legislation of 2018, which would invest $19.5 billion in such projects as wastewater and flooding management
  • the USDA’s investment in rural water supply through its Water and Waste Disposal Loan Grant

Plastics Continues to Take Product Share in Natural Gas

The aftereffects of the coronavirus pandemic are expected to leave oil and gas extraction activity depressed for some time. Nevertheless, the distribution of natural gas will represents an opportunity for plastic pipe through 2024.

Plastic will outperform competitive materials – steel and aluminum – in transmission applications by a wide margin, and will be the only material to see growth in distribution applications going forward. HDPE, the most commonly utilized resin in oil and gas pipe, will be the primary driver of growth, due to its:

  • flexibility
  • ease of installation
  • low cost per linear foot compared to fiberglass
  • corrosion resistance
  • leakproof joining methods

Larger Diameter Applications Boost Plastic Pipe Growth in Volume Terms

One commonality between major water, sewer, and oil and gas transmission projects is pipeline size. Where plastic pipelines are replacing older infrastructure, these new plastic pipes are almost universally of a larger diameter than the ones they are replacing. As US water, sewer, and energy needs grow, so too does the diameter of pipes required to handle these needs adequately. As a result, the average diameter of plastic pipes is increasing, which will support growth in weight and value terms through 2024 and beyond.
