Pipe

This study analyzes the US plastic pipe industry. Historical data (2009, 2014, and 2019) and forecasts for the years 2024 and 2029 are provided for six major competitive plastic pipe materials:

PVC
HDPE
PEX
fiberglass
CPVC
ABS

How will the COVID-19 coronavirus impact the global economy? The Freedonia Group is tracking recent developments and analyzing their impact in an easy to follow Economic Impact Tracker.

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.
