Market Dynamics

Introduction

Trenchless pipe rehabilitation is a modern method of fixing corroded, leaking, or broken pipelines that require very little excavation. Procedures such as CIPP, pipe bursting, slip lining, and SIPP are available to give aged pipelines a new lease on life. These methods allow existing underlying pipelines to be repaired, renewed, or replaced with little or no digging.

Trenchless pipe rehabilitation is employed on various pipes, including water mains, wastewater pipes, and storm pipes. Trenchless rehabilitation methods, which replace the conventional dig-and-replace method, are spurring the rise in trenchless technology owing to their various advantages, such as rehabilitation becoming easier, cleaner, faster, and less expensive.

These technologies also help reduce traffic congestion in the project area and provide pipe relining without a foul odor. Trenchless pipe rehabilitation is widely used in the North American region and is gaining popularity worldwide due to its outstanding performance and benefits.

Market Drivers:

The major players have made significant R&D investments to develop technologies for assessing pipe conditions and determining cost-effective repair procedures. The long-term picture for trenchless pipe rehabilitation appears optimistic, with high-growth potential for market participants as municipalities and governments increase their spending on water infrastructure to preserve water quality and decrease water wastage.

As per the American Water Works Association, it has been estimated that >US$ 1 trillion of investment is required over the next 25 years to repair the degrading water services and ensure their usefulness in serving the nation's growing population. As per the 26^th annual municipal sewer/water infrastructure report card, the projected yearly spending plans for pipe rehabilitation in the USA have reached US$ 10.3 billion for 2022 and are likely to reach US$ 11.3 billion in 2023.

Recent Market Acquisitions:

Recent trends in the trenchless pipe rehabilitation market are the adoption of the predictive data model for identifying deteriorated pipes for rehabilitation, a paradigm shift towards trenchless techniques, and municipalities adopting asset management programs for civil infrastructure, which are driving companies to adapt to the changing industry dynamics. Below are some of the M&As:

1. In 2021, New Mountain Capital, a private equity firm, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Aegion Corporation for US$ 30 per share in cash.
2. In 2022, Aegion Corporation acquired En-Tech Corporation’s CIPP lining division. Since 1983, En-Tech Corporation has been a leading provider of pipe maintenance and rehabilitation solutions across the Northeast.
3. In 2022, Inland Pipe Rehabilitation (IPR) completed the acquisition of Granite’s Inliner business, a leading company in heat and UV-cured CIPP linings.

Segment Analysis

By Application Type

“Wastewater pipe is likely to emerge as the biggest whereas water main pipe is the most rapidly expanding category during the mentioned period.”

• The North American trenchless pipe rehabilitation market is segmented by application type into water main pipes, wastewater pipes, and others.
• Although all three applications are expected to grow in the coming years, water main pipe is expected to remain the most prominent and the fastest-growing category during the projected period.
• The dominance of water main pipes is due to the intense focus of authorities on conserving clean drinking water paired with an extensive network of water main pipes in the region.

By Method Type

“The CIPP method is forecasted to be the most dominant method, whereas pipe bursting is the fastest-growing method in the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented by method type into CIPP, pipe bursting, slip-lining, SIPP, and other methods.
• CIPP is expected to be the dominant segment. In contrast, pipe bursting is scheduled to be the fastest-growing method type in the trenchless pipe rehabilitation market over the next five years.
• CIPP is likely the market's most prominent approach, owing to its longevity, high abrasion resistance, and ability to provide structural strength to the host pipe.

By Diameter Type

“<18-inch Pipes will maintain its lead over other pipes in the forecasted period. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5% superior to 18–36-inch and >36-inch pipes.”

• Based on the pipe diameter type, the market is segmented as <18-inch pipes, 18-36-inch pipes, and >36-inch pipes.
• Due to the vast application of pipes in this category, the <18-inch diameter pipe is likely to remain the dominant section of the market during the next five years.
• CIPP is the preferred method for trenchless pipe rehabilitation for pipes with a diameter of fewer than 18 inches.

Regional Analysis

“The USA is estimated to be the most dominant country in the market governing more than half of the North American trenchless pipe rehabilitation market.”

• The USA has the most extensive and aging underground pipe infrastructure. It necessitates the need for pipe rehabilitation at frequent intervals.
• The presence of major trenchless technology manufacturers and service providers makes the USA a regional technology leader for innovative solutions like CIPP and pipe bursting.
• Stringent compliance regulations and government investments in infrastructure rehabilitation are also key reasons for this country's dominance over other nations in the region.
