In what applications will improved processing techniques and resin formulations boost plastic pipe’s competitiveness?

This study analyzes the US pipe market. Historical data (2007, 2012, and 2017) and forecasts for 2022 and 2027 are provided for eight competitive pipe materials:

steel
plastic
copper
concrete
ductile iron
aluminum
clay
other nonferrous metals

Data are also provided for six types of plastic pipe:

PVC
HDPE
PEX
fiberglass
CPVC
ABS

Also included are breakouts for eight markets:

oil and natural gas
potable water
storm and sanitary sewer
conduit
industrial processing
drain, waste, and vent
irrigation
structural and mechanical

All demand data reflect apparent consumption (production plus imports minus exports) and are given in dollars, pounds, and linear feet.

Although distinctions are sometimes made between pipes and tubes, for the purposes of this study the terms “pipe”, “tube”, and “tubular products” are used interchangeably. Fittings are excluded from the scope of the study.
