The global PVC pipes market is expected to reach USD 129 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The PVC pipes market has grown due to their advantageous qualities, including lightweight, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and longevity. They are also used in electrical fittings due to their superior heat and electrical insulation qualities.

Market Overview

Polyvinyl chloride is referred to as PVC. It is a polymer made of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is hard and brittle in its natural state. But when additional materials are coupled with it, such as plasticizers, it becomes stronger and more moldable. Its uses include electrical insulation, furniture, flooring, clinical tubing, and a rubber alternative.

PVC pipes are the most often used material in manufacturing pipes, which are used in irrigation, plumbing, and water systems. Depending on their intended use, several PVC pipe types are used as hot or cold-water conduits in industrial and commercial applications. PVC pipes have been used for various commercial uses for over 80 years. Due to their exceptional qualities, including their light weight, affordability, simplicity of installation, and durability, PVC pipes have grown in favor worldwide. Due to their outstanding heat and electrical insulation qualities, they are also utilized in electrical fittings.

The PVC pipes can survive intense shaking and excessive movement in earthquake-prone areas and do not rot, wear out, or rust over time. PVC pipes are constantly displacing other piping materials due to these considerations. PVC-O (oriented) pipes have been created due to innovative technologies to apply molecular orientation while manufacturing PVC pipes. Compared to PVC pipes made traditionally, these PVC-O pipes are more affordable, environmentally benign, and have improved mechanical qualities.

CPVC is modified by a free radical chlorination procedure, which raises the chlorine content of the molecule. CPVC pipes now have a different composition, which allows them to withstand a wider range of temperatures. As a result, CPVC pipes rather than PVC pipes have to be used in hot water operations, according to many construction requirements.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the chlorinated segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 39% and market revenue of 29.8 billion.

Based on the type, the global PVC pipes market is categorized into Unplasticized, Molecular Oriented, Chlorinated, and Others. In 2021, the chlorinated segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 39% and market revenue of 29.8 billion. Chlorinated PVC is known as C-PVC. Many of the benefits of PVC-U are also found in C-PVC pipes and fittings. However, C-PVC pipes and fittings can survive a broader range of temperatures because of their higher chlorine content than conventional PVC-U. Because of this, C-PVC is a preferred material for water piping systems in both residential and commercial construction.

• In 2021, the irrigation segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 27% and a market revenue of 20.6 billion.

Based on the application, the PVC pipes market is categorized into Irrigation, Sewerage, Water Supply, Plumbing, Oil & gas, and Others. In 2021, the irrigation segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 27% and a market revenue of 20.6 billion. The cost of irrigation projects is rising quickly and requires a lot of time. Using PVC pipe for the laterals, or the conduit between the valves on the main water line is a wonderful method to cut costs on an irrigation project. Although PVC pipe is an excellent lateral material.
