PVC pipes are widely used in plumbing, drainage and irrigation systems in residential and commercial applications due to properties like durability, longevity and resistance to corrosion.  Renovation and infrastructure development activities boosts demand for PVC pipes. Rising urbanization along with growth in construction sector particularly in developing regions can drive the market growth. However, availability of alternatives like HDPE and steel pipes can hamper the market growth. Regulatory norms regarding use of PVC can also hamper the market growth.

Construction Industry Growth

Global construction industry has witnessed strong growth over the past few years. There has been increase in infrastructure development activities around the world as many countries are investing heavily in building roads, highways, metros, rail networks, airports, utilities and others to boost connectivity and mobility. Urbanization is continuing at a rapid pace with vast majority of the population now living in cities. This has led to a boom in residential and commercial construction with constantly growing needs for housing, office spaces, malls and other real estate.  PVC pipes play a crucial role in construction projects as these are used extensively for plumbing & drainage works. Whether it is laying water supply lines, setting up sewage networks or drainage systems, PVC pipes have emerged as one of the most popular choices among builders, contractors and plumbers. Their corrosion resistance, durability and long lifespan specially makes them suitable for carrying water and waste over many years with minimum maintenance requirements. PVC pipes are also significantly lighter than traditional pipes which helps to reduce construction costs and makes transportation and laying of pipes much easier. With infrastructure development efforts likely to remain strong and urbanization continuing unabated, the enormous construction activities globally are expected to sustain high demand for PVC pipes in the coming years.

Government initiatives for upgrading ageing water infrastructure are playing a major role in driving the growth of the global PVC pipes market. Many countries around the world have recognized the importance of modernizing their water supply systems as the existing infrastructure in many cities is old and prone to leakage. This is placing a huge strain on valuable water resources. For example, in the United States, the American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that drinking water infrastructure needs USD 105 billion investment over next 20 years just for pipeline rehabilitation and replacement. In India as well, the government has launched the 'Jal Jeevan Mission' with an outlay of USD 50 billion by 2024 to provide functional household tap connections to all rural households. Similar massive investment plans have been unveiled in European countries and China as well to replace old transmission pipelines and connect more households. This substantial public expenditure on water infrastructure modernization has been a boon for the PVC pipes industry. As PVC pipes are widely used for transporting potable water due to their durability, safety and affordability. Various government projects involve installing kilometers of PVC pipelines for water distribution systems both in urban and rural areas.
