Ductile Iron Pipes Market Report

Market Insights

Ductile iron pipes are made of ductile cast iron. They are one of the most popular building materials for water supply and sewage applications across the world due to a number of benefits. Ductile cast iron pipes offer significant advantages in terms of pressure-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and ability to withstand external static/dynamic loading. 

The ductile iron pipes market was significantly hampered during the COVID-19 pandemic as there were restrictions on manufacturing activities. Moreover, during the lockdown, there was a reduction in the number of ductile iron pipe installations.

The development of smart cities and infrastructure is the key factor driving up the demand for ductile iron pipes in the market. Additionally, there is a growing need to improve sanitization in public spaces. Massive investments are being made in these pipes by developed economies. These pipelines will see more use as a result of water treatment, clean drinking water initiatives, and other water quality improvement activities. There will be high growth opportunities in the market due to rising wastewater treatment costs in many areas. Several factors are collectively driving the ductile iron pipes market to grow at a promising CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

Based on the diameter type, the ductile iron pipes market is segmented into DN 80-300, DN 350-600, DN 700-1000, DN 1200-2000, and DN 2000 & above. Ductile iron pipes, with a diameter range of DN 700-1000 are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to their wide applications in the water and wastewater industries. Additionally, DN 350-600 pipes are also widely utilized for irrigation and water supply. They are the ideal choice for water infrastructure because of their long lifespan and toughness. These pipes are employed in mining-related applications. 

Based on the application type, the market is segmented into irrigation, water & wastewater, and others. During the forecast period, water & wastewater applications are expected to show robust growth in the market. The proliferating population and economic growth are factors that are expected to increase the demand for water. This opportunity has been met with various beneficial government and non-government initiatives in terms of policies and regulations.
