Market Insights

FRP (fiberglass-reinforced plastic) pipe is generally made up of resin such as polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy reinforced with glass fiber. Over the eons, FRP pipes have emerged as one of the most favored alternatives to conventional pipes, such as steel, concrete, and plastics, in water/wastewater applications, owing to their greater durability and excellent corrosion resistance. Being up to 75% lighter than steel pipe, FRP pipe allows faster installation and demand lower installation as well as maintenance cost. FRP pipes effectively maintain the temperature because of their low thermal insulating property. Other than water/wastewater, FRP pipes are also widely used in chemical & industrial, oil & gas, and marine & offshore applications.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global FRP Water/Wastewater Pipe Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted the infrastructure spending of the world including spending on water/wastewater infrastructure. Also, there has been a sharp plummet (-27%) in the demand for water from industrial and commercial users in the wake of the pandemic. A similar decline is estimated in the demand for FRP pipes in water/wastewater applications in the year 2020. It is anticipated that the market will log a V-shaped curve similar to the previous downturn, such as SARS (2003) and The Great Recession (2008-2009). However, the curve of the V-shape would be deeper than the ones registered in SARS and MERS with huge short-term repercussions. The FRP pipe market for water/wastewater applications is anticipated to plateau in 2021, followed by sequential growth, ultimately forming a healthy CAGR of 4.1% during 2021-2026.

Sewer & Storm Water to be the Most Dominant Application Type

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as water transmission & distribution, sewer & stormwater, drainage, and others. Sewer & stormwater is likely to remain the most dominant application type in the market during the forecast period. Concrete and steel are the most dominant material pipe materials used for sewer & stormwater applications. Over the eons, the industry noticed a gradual shift from conventional pipes to FRP pipes, driven by their long list of benefits including durability and extended the system’s life cycle, making FRP pipe an economical solution for the water/wastewater application.

Polyester Maintains its Ubiquitous Lead in the Market

Based on the resin type, the market is classified as polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy. Polyester is likely to remain the most dominant resin type in the market during the forecast period. Water/wastewater is a price-sensitive application and demands products at a competitive price. Polyester resin has the lowest cost among thermoset resins including vinyl ester and epoxy and offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance and moderate mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. The resin system has an unassailable dominance across regions.

Filament Winding Has Incessantly Been Gaining Preference.

Based on the manufacturing process type, the market is classified as filament winding, centrifugal casting, hand lay-up, spray lay-up, and others. Filament winding is likely to remain the most dominant manufacturing process in the market during the forecast period. The filament winding process allows continuous fiber reinforcement in the circumferential direction of the pressure pipe where the principal stress applies, resulting in higher-performing product development at a lower cost. All the major players can fabricate FRP pipes through the filament winding process. A handful of players can fabricate FRP pipes through the centrifugal casting.

Asia-Pacific Will Maintain Its Leading Position

All regions are expected to mark a huge decline in 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19. Despite being hard-hit by the pandemic, Asia-Pacific is estimated to manage its lead in the global market by 2026. Also, the region is likely to heal up with the fastest pace in the post-pandemic market developments. China, India, and Malaysia are the growth engines of the region’s market, heavily fabricating FRP pipes using polyester and vinyl ester resins through the filament winding process.
