Market Highlights

Pipe seals are components used to support the joints between different elements of piping, by preventing leakage, absorbing pressure, or excluding contamination. Pipe seals include gaskets, O-rings, lip seals, block seals, connector seals, etc. Europe held about one-quarter of the total pipe seals market. The region’s market fell dramatically in 2020. The decline in the market was mainly due to delays in construction activities and a slowdown in infrastructure and rehabilitation projects as a result of the pandemic.

The market experienced a healthy comeback in 2021, driven by the combined effects of recovery in construction activities and an abrupt increase in raw material prices. Overall, the European pipe seals market is likely to rebound at a healthy CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 282.9 Million in 2027.

Market Segments' Analysis

Segmentations	List of Sub-Segments	Dominant and Fastest-Growing Segments
Application Type	Wastewater, Potable water, and others	Wastewater is likely to remain the demand propeller; however, potable water is likely to witness impressive growth in the near future.
Pipe Type	Plastic pipe, concrete/clay pipe, and steel/ductile iron pipe	Plastic pipe is estimated to remain the dominant and fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.
Material Type	EPDM, SBR, and others	EPDM is estimated to remain the dominant and fastest-growing material type during the forecast period.
Product Type	Gaskets, O-rings, and others	Gasket is likely to remain the dominant product, whereas O-ring is projected to remain the fastest-growing product during the forecast period.

Based on the application type, the European pipe seals market is segmented into wastewater, potable water, and others. Wastewater is expected to remain the largest application type in the market during the forecast period. An increase in the repair and replacement of aging sewer and water pipes drives the segment's market. Gaskets, O-rings, connector seals, and lip seals are the majorly used seals for wastewater application.

Based on the pipe type, the market is segmented into plastic pipe, concrete/clay pipe, and steel/ductile iron pipe. Plastic pipe is the dominant as well as the fastest-growing pipe type in the market. Plastic pipes are gradually replacing concrete and steel/ductile iron pipes. Plastic pipes include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), polypropylene (PP), and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) pipes. PVC is the dominant material in plastic pipes, owing to its low cost, durability, and ease of installation. Concrete/Clay pipe is the second-largest pipe type in the market, owing to its properties such as strength, longevity, good resistance to chemical degradation, nonflammability, and ease of installation.

Based on the material type, the market is segmented into EPDM, SBR, and others. EPDM is likely to be the dominant as well as the fastest-growing material type in the market during the forecast period. EPDM is the preferred material type, owing to its excellent properties such as good resistance to ozone, weather, sunlight, aging, water & steam, alkalis, acids, and oxygenated solvents; excellent heat resistance; and good flexibility at low temperatures. Gaskets, O-rings, lip seals, connector seals, tank seals, and wall seals are preferably manufactured with EPDM

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into gaskets, O-rings, and others. Gaskets are anticipated to remain the dominant product type in the market during the forecast period. A higher dominance of gaskets in all the major applications (wastewater, potable water, industrial, and agriculture) drives the segment’s market during the forecast period. O-rings are the second-dominant product type and are also expected to experience healthy growth during the forecast period, owing to their ability to sustain extreme pressure, chemical compatibility, ability to withstand high temperatures, and oxidation resistance.

In terms of country, Germany is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing country during the forecast period. The country is the home to several major pipe seal manufacturers, such as Trelleborg AB, VIP Polymers Ltd, and M.O.L Gummiverarbeitung GmbH & Co. KG. France is also likely to create sizeable opportunities in the coming five years, driven by the favorable government policies and investments in commercial, residential, and industrial projects.
