Basic necessities for urban living include access to adequate and reliable water and sanitation, including wastewater management, as well as inexpensive housing, good health, and a sustainable environment. Significant market potential exist for water and wastewater pipes as a result of the growing population, particularly in metropolitan areas, and the increase in industry. The desire for improved housing options, food, and better infrastructure in metropolitan areas to accommodate the growing population fuels market expansion and supports the construction and agriculture industries. Additionally, governments are launching water and wastewater management projects as a result of the accelerating economic growth and the demand to further strengthen the economy, which is fostering market expansion.
The market for water and wastewater pipe systems is expanding as a result of increased investments in water infrastructure and an increase in desalination facilities. For every nation, the building industry continues to be a significant economic sector. This is especially true for nations in Asia, North America, and the Middle East. In order to improve their nation's economic performance, regional governments are also moving construction projects along more quickly. However, the pandemic-affected year of 2020 saw a large decline in the worldwide construction business. However, in 2021, a promising recovery was seen thanks to increased government spending and expanded partnerships and cooperation among private contractors. Additionally, a major factor driving shipments of water and sanitation pipes, particularly plastic water and wastewater pipes, has been the rapid urban population increase along with infrastructure development in both commercial and residential regions.
A core of opportunities for market players is predicted to result from rising investments in water and wastewater management. The discharge of unprocessed wastewater from industrial, home, and agricultural sources is a widespread issue, and effective wastewater management continues to be a challenge in regions like APAC, MEA, and others. Most sewage still makes its way into lakes, rivers, oceans, and coastal areas throughout Asia without being treated. Only 75% of Indonesians, according to UNICEF, have access to complete sanitation and water. To ensure that the water distribution industry is not left behind, the government has invested significantly in the construction of suitable water purifying infrastructure. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the USD 1.9 billion water supply and wastewater treatment system project in Indonesia will increase the use of sanitation pipes. Thus, driving the Water and Wastewater Pipe market revenue.
The Water and Wastewater Pipe market segmentation, based on Material Type, includes plastic pipe, metal pipe, concrete pipe, and clay pipe. Plastic pipe segment dominated the market in 2022. Due to the advantages that plastic water and wastewater pipes have over other types of pipes, they are in high demand. Contrary to many traditional pipe materials, plastic pipes are resistant to a variety of substances and do not corrode. Additionally, compared to plastic pipes, steel, copper, ductile iron, and aluminium pipes all take more energy to manufacture. Pipe failure is the main factor in the loss of up to 30% of the world's piped water, which occurs at some point in the system. PVC pipes and all other varieties of plastic pipes are less likely to crack than metal cladding or concrete. Plastic water and wastewater pipes are widely used due to their easy installation, portability, lightweight, recyclable nature, and other benefits.
The Water and Wastewater Pipe market segmentation, based on Application, includes municipal, industrial, and agriculture. Municipal segment dominated the Water and Wastewater Pipe market in 2022. The inclusion of the residential and commercial sectors in the municipal segment, which account for a strong demand for water and wastewater treatment systems, can be credited with this high market share.
