“Trenchless pipe rehabilitation market size stood at US$ 6.9 billion in 2023 and is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.7% in the long run to reach US$ 9.7 billion in 2030.”
Market Dynamics
Trenchless pipe rehabilitation technologies are now catching the world’s attention because of their phenomenal performance and exceptional benefits. These techniques offer repair, renewal, or replacement of underground pipelines with minimal excavation. The key aspect of these technologies is that the rehabilitation of pipes is now becoming more manageable, cleaner, faster, and cheaper. In addition to that, these technologies avoid traffic jams and provide a delicate pipe relining without any foul smell. The equipment and liner materials used in these technologies have to comply with the certification and standards of NSF/ANSI 61, which has various norms related to the material used for lining water main pipelines to prevent contamination of potable drinking water.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- In 2022, Trelleborg Industrial Solutions acquired Innovative Sewer Technologies, a German-based market leader in sewer and drainage pipe rehabilitation.
- In 2022, Inland Pipe Rehabilitation (IPR) completed the acquisition of Granite’s Inliner business, a leading company in heat and UV-cured CIPP linings.
Market Drivers:
The market is mainly driven by increased government and municipal corporations spending on infrastructure rehabilitation in various countries. Furthermore, increasing awareness towards trenchless (no-dig) technologies in many nations, especially emerging economies, catalyzes market growth. Aging water main and wastewater pipelines in significant markets, such as the USA, Germany, and Canada, coupled with the increased traction towards trenchless pipe rehabilitation technologies, are paving the way for astounding market growth across regions.
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 26th 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. They are likely to reach US$ 11.3 billion in 2023. Similar trends were also observed in other major countries in the market, such as Germany and Canada.

By Application Type
“Wastewater pipe is forecasted to emerge as the biggest whereas water main pipe is the most rapidly expanding category of the market during the mentioned period.”
- The market is segmented by application type into water main pipes, wastewater pipes, and others. All three applications are estimated to witness promising growth in the years to come.
- Trenched pipe repair usually takes twice the time as trenchless pipe rehabilitation, increasing costs considerably. Furthermore, repairing the trenched pipe requires digging up the whole yard, which could destroy other permanent structures present in the yard.
- To avoid that cost and disturbance, a wide range of trenchless pipe rehabilitation methods are available. CIPP is the most preferred method for the rehabilitation of wastewater pipes.
By Method Type
“CIPP method is likely to be the most dominant whereas pipe bursting is the fastest growing segment of the market during the forecast period.”
- The market is segmented by method type into CIPP, Pipe Bursting, Slip-lining, SIPP, and Others.
- CIPP is projected to remain the most dominant method during the forecast period, whereas pipe bursting remains the fastest-growing method during the same period.
- The high penetration of the CIPP technology is mainly due to its excellent performance over competing technologies and its applicability in a wide range of pipe diameters. The installation time of the CIPP liner is five times faster than that of a full pipe replacement.
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 pipes and >36 inch pipes.”
- Trenchless rehabilitation techniques are most apt for small pipe diameters. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), spray-applied liners, and pipe bursting are all mature and widely applied to pipes smaller than 18 inches.
- Municipal water and sewer systems for small-diameter pipes (<18 inches) mostly use residential and urban distribution. These small pipes represent a large segment of existing infrastructure.
By Region
“North American region has the biggest share in the market, whereas Asia-Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth rate in the forecasted period.”
- Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, primarily driven by Japan, China, and Australia.
- Aging pipeline infrastructure in key economies of the region is driving the demand for trenchless pipe rehabilitation.
- Incessantly increasing the infrastructure budget to decrease water loss and improve water quality and a continuous shift towards trenchless technologies are the major demand boosters of the Asia-Pacific trenchless pipe rehabilitation market.
