Market Dynamics

The North American Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) market is driven by the growing need to rehabilitate aging water and wastewater infrastructure using minimally disruptive trenchless technologies. Increasing government funding for infrastructure renewal and the preference for extending pipeline service life over full replacement continue to support market growth. Technological advancements in resin formulations and UV-curing systems are also improving installation efficiency and expanding the application of CIPP across the region.

The market's growth is largely tied to the urgent need to modernize underground infrastructure across the United States and Canada. Much of the region's pipeline network was installed decades ago and is experiencing increasing levels of deterioration, leakage, root intrusion, and structural degradation. Rather than replacing these assets through excavation-intensive methods, infrastructure owners are increasingly turning to CIPP because it offers a practical way to restore pipeline performance while extending service life by several decades.

Market Drivers:

Aging Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Fuels Rehabilitation Demand

• A large proportion of water, wastewater, and stormwater pipelines across the United States of America and Canada were installed several decades ago and are increasingly experiencing corrosion, cracking, joint failures, and leakage. As pipeline networks approach the end of their service life, authorities are accelerating rehabilitation programs to maintain system reliability and prevent costly failures, which will sustain long-term demand for CIPP technologies across North America.
• In the U.S. alone, approximately 240,000 water main breaks occur annually, while leaking mains result in the loss of trillions of gallons of treated drinking water and approximately $2.6 billion in losses each year.
• As infrastructure renewal becomes a growing priority for utilities and municipalities, the need for efficient rehabilitation solutions is increasing. CIPP enables deteriorated pipelines to be rehabilitated without complete replacement, supporting market demand for trenchless technologies across North America.

Trenchless Rehabilitation Gains Preference Over Disruptive Replacement

• Growing concerns over road closures, excavation, utility conflicts, traffic disruption, and lengthy construction are strengthening the appeal of trenchless rehabilitation. CIPP can be installed through existing access points, minimizing surface disruption compared with conventional open-cut replacement and supporting market demand for less disruptive pipeline rehabilitation solutions.
• Its environmental advantages further support adoption. A 2025 University of Texas at Arlington study found CIPP delivered 56% lower overall environmental impact, 71% lower global warming potential, 72% lower fossil-fuel depletion, and 67% lower smog formation than the evaluated open-cut alternative. In addition, CIPP installation can be completed up to five times faster than full pipe replacement while extending pipeline service life by more than 30 years.

Municipal Infrastructure Spending Strengthens CIPP Market Growth

• Increasing municipal investment in aging sewer infrastructure is creating tangible opportunities for CIPP across the U.S. For instance, a recent project in Joliet, Illinois, includes approximately 17,500 linear feet of trenchless CIPP installation and rehabilitation of 57 manholes. Similarly, Camden, New Jersey, received $6.5 million in CWSRF assistance for sewer rehabilitation, including more than 2,300 feet of CIPP liners.
• These projects demonstrate how public infrastructure spending is translating into actual CIPP deployment to address deteriorated sewer systems, flooding, and emergency repair needs. As municipalities continue prioritizing sewer rehabilitation and infrastructure renewal, expanding project pipelines are expected to support CIPP market growth across North America.

“<1-foot diameter pipes are expected to remain dominant in the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented into <1-foot diameter, 1–2.5-feet diameter, 2.5–5-feet diameter, and >5-feet diameter pipes. The <1-foot diameter segment is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period, primarily driven by the extensive presence of small-diameter pipelines across residential sewer systems and municipal networks. These pipelines are widely used for wastewater collection and frequently require rehabilitation due to aging, deterioration, and operational issues. The large installed base of small-diameter pipes, coupled with the cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and relatively easy installation of CIPP solutions, is expected to sustain the segment’s leading position.

By Resin Type

“Polyester resin-based CIPP is expected to remain dominant, whereas epoxy resin-based CIPP is likely to be the fastest-growing category during the forecast period.”

• Based on resin type, the market is categorized into polyester resin-based CIPP, vinyl ester resin-based CIPP, and epoxy resin-based CIPP. Polyester resin-based CIPP is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period, owing to its strong chemical resistance, low elongation, and high flexural strength, making it ideal for stormwater and sewer applications. Additionally, its lower cost compared to other resins supports its widespread adoption.

• Meanwhile, epoxy resin-based CIPP is projected to witness the fastest growth during the same period, due to its environmentally friendly characteristics, including lower VOC emissions and absence of hazardous air pollutants. Its compliance with potable water standards further drives its use in drinking water pipeline rehabilitation.

By Fabric Type

“Polyester fabric-based CIPP is expected to remain dominant, while glass fabric-based CIPP is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented into polyester fabric-based CIPP, glass fabric-based CIPP, and other fabrics-based CIPP. Polyester fabric-based CIPP is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period, supported by its cost efficiency, compliance with ASTM standards, and strong tensile properties. Its ability to effectively absorb and retain resin also makes it suitable for a broad range of pipeline rehabilitation applications.

• Meanwhile, glass fabric-based CIPP is projected to witness the fastest growth, particularly in UV-cured installations. Its compatibility with advanced curing technologies and ability to minimize environmentally harmful byproducts are expected to support its increasing adoption.

By Curing Type

“Steam-cured CIPP is expected to remain dominant, whereas UV-cured CIPP is likely to be the fastest-growing curing method in the market during the forecast period.”

• Based on curing type, the market is divided into hot water-cured CIPP, steam-cured CIPP, and UV-cured CIPP. Steam-cured CIPP is expected to remain dominant, supported by efficient heat transfer, relatively shorter curing times, and its ability to produce strong, durable finished liners. The process also requires less water than hot-water curing, improving operational efficiency during field installations.

• Meanwhile, UV-cured CIPP is projected to register the fastest growth, driven by advantages such as reduced temperature sensitivity, lower emissions, and no refrigeration requirements. Its high strength and compatibility with advanced fiberglass liners further support adoption as an alternative to traditional felt-based systems.
