Thermoplastic Pipes Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth 2024
Thermoplastic
pipes are primarily used in the transportation of solids, liquids, and
gases. They can withstand high temperatures, harsh chemicals, and
long-term cyclic loading. Industries such as oil & gas, chemical,
mining & dredging and others widely use thermoplastic pipes. Based
on polymer types, thermoplastic pipes can be categorized into PE, PVDF,
PVC, PA, PP, and others. The pipes industry is facing the challenge to
meet the increasing demand all over the world while reducing the cost.

Polyethylene
(PE) is produced through the ethylene polymerization process and its
properties include flexibility, chemical resistance, longevity, and
overall toughness. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is known for its
high-molecular-weight fluorocarbon that has superior dielectric
properties, mechanical strength, and abrasion resistance. It is
primarily used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and
production of high-purity water and UV-sensitive chemicals. Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) offers excellent and consistent quality. Its uniform
properties make it a preference material of thermoplastic pipes for
custom houses. PVC pipes are highly resistant to alkalis, acids,
alcohols, and other corrosive substances.
PVC
pipes are employed in irrigation systems and service piping and for
distribution of various chemicals, waste water treatment, waste
collection, and other industrial processes involving transfer of
corrosive fluids. Polyamide (PA) has excellent mechanical properties,
chemical stability, high strength, excellent toughness, and resistance
to chemical degradation. Polypropylene (PP) belongs to the polyolefin
group and it has lower density as compared to other categories. Three
different types of PP thermoplastic pipes are used conventionally: PP-H
pipes (used in the industrial sector), PP-R pipes (used in sanitary
ware), and PP-B pipes (used in sewage piping systems).
Based
on application, the thermoplastic pipes market has been segmented into
oil & gas, mining & dredging, chemical and others. Increasing
drilling practices for offshore exploration of oil and gas are expected
to drive the global thermoplastic pipes market. These pipes are used in
drilling practices owing to their properties such as low maintenance
cost, flexibility, high chemical resistance, low installation cost,
ability to operate at high temperatures, and high resistance to
mechanical damage. In the oil & gas sector, thermoplastic pipes
witness rising demand for deep-water and ultra-deep drilling activities.
Increase in the number of drilling activities especially drilling of
horizontal wells with high energy demand in global market is considered
to be the major opportunity for growth.
Geographically,
the thermoplastic pipes market can be segmented into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Asia
Pacific is expected to dominate the global thermoplastic pipes market
during the forecast period, due to high demand of thermoplastic pipe in
the chemical and other industry in this region. The markets in North
America and Europe are expected to expand significantly during the
forecast period. The markets in Middle East & Africa and Latin
America are expected to witness high growth in the near future, due to
increasing oil and gas exploration and production activities and the
discovery of new oil and gas reserves. Acceptance of PP-RCT
(PolyPropylene-Random Crystallinity Temperature) is driving the market
in North America, which is making it easier for engineers and builders
to replace traditional materials with thermoplastic piping systems.
