As a consequence of both these expected chemical and oil and gas facilities, it is anticipated that the demand for PVDF pipes will increase dramatically. This in turn promotes market growth.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

 COVID-19 Pandemic Has Disrupted The Supply Chain Hence Hindered The Market Growth

Due to the worldwide lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, many goods in the threaded pipe fittings industry are no longer being produced. This has slowed the market's expansion for threaded pipe fittings over the past several months and is probably going to do so through 2021. The sales of threaded pipe fittings were already impacted by COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021, and it is projected that this would have a negative effect on market growth throughout the year. The U.S., Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and China, which are adversely impacted by the spread of the coronavirus and consequently see a decline in demand for threaded pipe fittings, once accounted for the majority of the world's production. Furthermore, the lockdown's potential effects are now unknown, and a company's ability to recover financially depends entirely on its cash reserves. Manufacturers of threaded pipe fittings can only sustain a complete lockdown for a limited period of time before the players must change their investment strategies. For instance, in order to save costs, a number of market participants temporarily stopped their output. A small number of players also implemented personnel layoffs to survive the COVID-19 health issue.

LATEST TRENDS

Increase In Water Consumption Propel The Market

The market for pipes and fittings is expanding due to an increase in water consumption across several industries. The expansion of the worldwide water and wastewater pipes sector is also aided by the rising sales of several real-time devices including pressure monitoring metres and pumps. For administrative organisations and governments to succeed, they must be committed to delivering drinkable water to homes and businesses on a regular basis. In addition, the manufacturing sector's demand of water needs the development of suitable pipes. As a result, the fundamental demands of all the key sectors indicate to the necessity of upgraded water and wastewater pipelines. The expansion of the global market has been boosted by the accessibility of superior pipe producing materials. The construction of a 106-MGD water treatment plant (WTP) in India was permitted by the Delhi Jal Board in 2019, helping to fulfil the city's demand for drinking water. During the anticipated period of 2021–2030, these initiatives are anticipated to accelerate the market's growth rate.

• According to the EPA’s New or Repaired Water Mains report, an average of 13,200 miles (21,240 km) of new pipe joints are installed nationwide each year to expand distribution networks.

• To address aging infrastructure, approximately 4,400 miles (7,080 km) of existing pipe joints are replaced annually in the United States.

DRIVING FACTORS

Modernization And Government Investment Will Fuel The Market

Pipes and fittings are being used for adequate water distribution systems and other applications as urban infrastructure development expands quickly as a result of expanding government infrastructure projects and a spike in urbanisation. As the infrastructure sector has grown to be the main area of attention, the Indian government intends to spend $1.4 trillion on infrastructure from 2019 to 2023 in order to ensure the sustainable growth of the nation. Additionally, the government has recommended spending $750 billion on train infrastructure between 2018 and 2030. All of these expenditures are expected to fuel market expansion. The U.S. government launched its infrastructure programme to update the country's infrastructure in February 2019 with the goal of improving procurement procedures and project delivery. A $200 billion investment was made for it with the goal of generating $1.5 trillion in state funding for municipal and commercial infrastructure projects. The Conference Board reports that the Fiscal Year 2021 budget proposal included a roughly $200 billion funding initiative for infrastructure that was raised in 2021 along with a $810 billion reauthorization of existing surface transportation programmes, which is equivalent to an increase in nominal funding levels of about 4% annually in the United States and will help the market grow.

• According to DC Water, the Washington, D.C. system comprises 1,350 miles of water mains and plans to replace 28,000 lead or galvanized iron service lines by 2030 to comply with lead‐free regulations.

• The EPA’s 2000 Community Water System Survey shows that 78% of distribution pipes are less than 40 years old, 18% are between 40–80 years, and 4% exceed 80 years in age—underscoring the push for modernization.

Concentrate On Wastewater Treatment To Fulfil Global Water Demand

36% of the world's population, according to the World Bank, resides in areas with a lack of water. Approximately 30–40% of the population in the United States is connected to a sewage system, and this wastewater is collected and processed for future use. The market is expanding due to factors such as increased public health concerns over water quality and public health, rising industrial demand, and strict regulatory restrictions on wastewater treatment. Urban sewage treatment is required in China due to the country's rapidly rising consumer demand as well as the country's increasing water shortage. The most recent methods, such as biological treatment, suspended material removal, and disinfection/oxidation, are utilised to treat municipal water and wastewater. Following the sewage collection, measurements of liquid in all stages, including sludge by-products and huge quantities of fluid containing suspended particles, are made for the treatment process, which is carried out by the piping system. Sewage treatment is what is causing the market to grow thanks to significant investments in research and development of water treatment technology and the development of new technologies with the aim of preventing the extinction of natural resources. Germany has a very efficient wastewater management system that is built to effectively recycle all forms of discarded water, from water from homes to water from industry. Due to its cutting-edge machinery and pipe infrastructure for the water treatment process, this nation is a global environmental leader in wastewater management.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Intensive Maintenance Needs will Restrict The Market Growth

The high maintenance needs resulting from pipe leakages are one of the primary factors holding back the growth of the pipes and fittings market. Given that pipes are used extensively in plumbing, sewage distribution, and other applications, leaks in pipes result in expensive end-user investments and high maintenance costs. In comparison to pipes made of other materials like copper, plastic, and others, galvanised steel pipes have a fairly limited lifespan. Additionally, rust can accumulate within pipes over time, particularly those with tiny diameters, as well as break away from the inside walls of pipes and mix with the water as it passes through, discolouring the water as a result. Lead may damage pipes made of metal because it can leak into the water and make it dangerous to drink. Additionally, when the outside galvanization of galvanised pipes is weakened, the pipes quickly become susceptible to corrosion.

• The same EPA report finds an average of 0.27 water main breaks per mile per year, equating to roughly 237,600 breaks across U.S. systems annually, which constrains service reliability.

• Overall replacement rates remain below 1% per year, varying from 0% in the smallest systems (<3,300 pop.) to nearly 2% in the largest systems (>500,000 pop.), limiting network renewal pace.
