Introduction

Global Plastic Pipes Market (USD Million), 2021 - 2031

In the year 2024, the Global Plastic Pipes Market was valued at USD 60,606.49 million. The size of this market is expected to increase to USD 100,642.00 million by the year 2031, while growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.

PVC-U stands for unplasticized PVC, which means the PVC compound has not been treated with a plasticizer. It is also known as rigid PVC and is the most widely used type for pipes and fittings in applications such as drinking water, soil and waste transportation, sewage, subsurface drainage, and industrial uses.

Chlorinated PVC, abbreviated as C-PVC, differs from PVC-U in its higher chlorine concentration, making it more temperature-resistant. Both C-PVC and PVC-U are suitable for drinking water applications and offer good impact and corrosion resistance. However, C-PVC is more ductile and is commonly used for water piping systems in both residential and commercial construction due to its enhanced temperature resistance. Notably, C-PVC pipes and fittings are 100% recyclable.

The demand for PVC pipes is driven by their increasing use in the building, construction, and irrigation industries. PVC pipes are becoming a preferred alternative to metal and concrete pipes in construction due to their ease of installation and durability. However, the market faces challenges from substitutes like cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), steel, and ABS, as well as concerns about the toxicity of PVC pipes. Despite these challenges, the growing awareness of the need for clean water supply in rural areas and increased investments in developing regions are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the PVC pipes market. Technological innovations, such as the development of Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-O) pipes, have also enhanced the performance of PVC pipes.

For analysis purposes, the PVC pipe market is segmented by type, material, application, and region. By type, it is classified into chlorinated PVC, plasticized PVC, and unplasticized PVC. In terms of material, the market is segmented into PVC resin, stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricant, pigment base, and others. Based on application, it is divided into irrigation, water supply, sewerage, plumbing, oil and gas, HVAC, and others. Geographically, the PVC pipe market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA, with market shares examined across major regions and countries.
