Global HDPE Pipes and Fittings Market- Market Overview:

The global HDPE Pipes and Fittings market is expected to grow from USD 16.52 billion in 2021 to USD 25.64 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the Projection period 2022-2029. The growth of this market is mainly driven by an upsurge in demand for HDPE pipes across different industry verticals such as oil & gas, agriculture, and chemicals.

High-Density Polyethylene or HDPE Pipes are flexible plastic pipes that are mainly used for gas and fluid transfer. In addition, this type of pipe is rapidly being used to replace aging steel mains or concrete pipelines.  These pipes are also known as thermoplastics pipes as it is made of thermoplastic polymer HDPE, which is highly water resistant. Due to this, such pipes are rapidly being used for different applications, including irrigation, water mains, gas mains, drainage system pipelines, slurry transfer lines, and electrical and communication system conduits.

Moreover, HDPE pipes are seeing increased usage in gas pipeline applications due to their lower weight and high corrosion resistivity. On the other hand, HDPE pipes and fittings offer high tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and lightweight benefits. Due to such benefits, HDPE pipes and fittings have been preferred in industrial and municipal water applications for several years.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:                          

• A rise in demand for water infrastructure

Pipe selection is one of the prominent factors in water infrastructure development. HDPE pipes and fittings are mainly prepared in water infrastructure due to their long-term durability. The features of HDPE pipes, including high strength-to-density ratio, chemical stability, and flexibility, make them a perfect option for water infrastructure applications.  In addition, these pipes provide cost savings by preventing or decreasing two types of leaks, including burst failures and background leakage. Moreover, HDPE pipes offer enhanced reliability when buried and left in operation for decades with considerably lower maintenance. Hence, rising global demand to improve wastewater treatment economics has boosted the growth of the HDPE pipes and fitting market.

• Increasing demand from developing countries

Developing countries such as China, Brazil, and India are seeing huge demand for HDPE Pipes and Fittings. This is mainly attributed to aggressive infrastructure advancement initiatives to develop their sewage systems. For instance, the government of Indonesia has recently introduced the “Sewerage System Development Project” aimed at supporting the implementation of sewerage systems in Banda Aceh, Bekasi, and Mataram.

Furthermore, in May 2021, the government of Brazil announced the privatization of Rio de Janeiro's water and sewage treatment to enhance sewage treatment and effectively clean up the state's polluted Guanabara Bay.  Such initiatives in developing countries have created a demand for HDPE pipes and fittings.

Restraints:

• The high initial cost of HDPE Pipes and Fittings

Initial costs of HDPE pipes and fitting is comparatively higher than alternate piping materials such as PVC, ductile iron, and steel. Moreover, the price of PE100 pipe is also higher, which is mainly used for the production of high-pressure pipes.  Such high costs associated with the HDPE Pipes and Fittings are projected to hamper the market's growth to some extent during the Projection period.

Opportunities:

• Upsurge in investment for infrastructure development

HDPE piping and fitting systems offer longer service life, enhanced leak-free protection, and exceptional joint performance. Hence, ongoing infrastructure development initiatives across the globe are creating demand for HDPE piping and fitting to ensure efficient piping applications. For instance, in October 2020, the government of Mexico introduced its $14.2 billion infrastructure investment plan and private sector companies. On the other hand, the third package of the 2020-24 national infrastructure program (PNI) of Mexico includes 15 waterworks.  Such investments for infrastructure development are opportunistic for the growth of the market.

Challenges

• Fluctuations in the raw material costs

Availability and price of raw materials are crucial factors impacting the price of the end products. The global HDPE pipe and the fitting market have experienced an extreme resin shortage. For instance, in July 2021, according to United Poly Systems, HDPE pipe manufacturers witnessed an increase in resins' prices totaling 60 cents per pound since January 2020. Such fluctuations in raw materials prices further affect HDPE pipe and fitting prices, thus, posing a significant challenge to the market players.
