Thermoplastic pipes are primarily used in transportation of liquids, but these pipes can also be used to transport solids and gases. Thermoplastic pipes have unique properties such as flexibility, good chemical resistance, resistance to rust, and high chemical strength. Depending upon the polymer type thermoplastic pipes are classified into polyethylene (PE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), etc. Main advantage of these pipes is, comparatively less amount of installation time required than that for steel pipes.

Owing to physical properties of thermoplastic pipes such as flexibility, toughness, and high temperature resistance, demand is growing in various end-use industries – especially in oil & gas, chemicals, mining, etc. This is a key factor driving growth of the global thermoplastic pipes market. In addition, increasing onshore and offshore drilling activities, and increasing shale gas discoveries are other factors expected to boost growth of the global thermoplastics pipes market over the forecast period.

However, high costs associated with production of thermoplastic pipes is a major factor restraining growth of the global thermoplastic pipes market. Additionally, lack of skilled workforce, and complex process of reinforcing fibre from thermoplastic resin are some other factors expected to hamper growth of the global thermoplastic pipes market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in Asia Pacific accounts for largest market share in terms of revenue as compared to that of markets in other regions. This can be attributed to increasing oil & gas exploration activities, and rising demand for thermoplastic pipes in chemical industry in emerging economies such as China, India, etc. The market in North America accounted for second-highest revenue share in the global thermoplastic pipes market, due to increasing shale gas projects in countries in the region. Also, the market in Middle East is expected to show moderate growth over the forecast period, owing to discovery of new hydrocarbon reserves in the region.
