The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The plastic pipes segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Plastic pipes, specifically PVC pipes and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride CPVC pipes, play a significant role in water management infrastructure. PVC pipes offer numerous advantages, such as superior resistance to wear and tear, high flex life, chemical resistance, and excellent abrasion resistance. These properties surpass those of rubber and metals, making PVC pipes a popular choice for plumbing applications. Moreover, PVC pipes are resistant to cold and heat, have a high load-bearing capacity, and exhibit good resistance to UV light. They also maintain dimensional stability at room temperature and are non-flammable. With advancements in technology, companies are continually enhancing the efficiency and strength of PVC pipes to cater to specific applications.
Furthermore, innovative technologies like IoT are being integrated into plumbing systems, allowing for real-time monitoring and maintenance. However, price volatility remains a challenge for the market. Despite this, the demand for PVC and CPVC pipes continues to grow due to their unique properties and versatility.
