According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global HDPE (High Density Poly Ethylene) pipe market looks promising with opportunities in potable water, wastewater, oil and gas, and irrigation sectors. The global HDPE pipe market is expected to decline in 2020 due to the global economic recession led by COVID-19. However, the market will witness recovery in the year 2021 and it is expected to grow 6%-8% from 2020 to 2026. The major drivers for this market are growing residential and non-residential construction activities, replacement of aging pipelines, and increasing awareness of the attractive properties of HDPE pipes.
In this market, PE100, PE80, and PE63 are the major polymer grades used to manufacture HDPE pipes. On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that PE100 grades will remain the largest segment and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period because of their high strength, better chemical resistance, lower cost, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Within the global HDPE pipe market, the wastewater segment is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing spending in municipal infrastructure development.
APAC is expected to remain the largest market and witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period due to increasing urbanization, infrastructure development, and continuous growth of the residential construction and industrial sectors in this region.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the introduction of mechanical coupling in HDPE pipe focusing on pipe strength and replacement of traditional material pipes with eco-friendly HDPE pipes. Orbia SAB, China Lesso Group, Advanced Drainage Systems, Sekisui Chemical, Formosa Plastics Group, Supreme Industries, Jain Irrigation, Chevron Phillips Chemicals, JM Eagle, and Astral Pipes are among the major suppliers of the HDPE pipe market.
