The polyolefin pipes market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the polyolefin pipes market has seen a robust expansion in its size. The market is anticipated to climb from a worth of $20.15 billion in 2024 to $21.37 billion in 2025, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. Factors such as infrastructure development, replacement of old pipelines, utilization in the chemical industry, demand from the oil and gas sector, and sustainable solutions have contributed to its growth during the historic period.
The Polyolefin Pipes market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the market size of polyolefin pipes is predicted to witness robust expansion. The anticipated growth is to reach a market worth of $27.72 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
This growth in the expected period is linked to international economic conditions, investment in infrastructure, initiatives for water management, urbanization, and pipeline rehabilitation. The global economic trajectory, material benefits, competitive market environment, innovation, adherence to quality and standards, and governmental interventions are among the major trends for this projected period.
The polyolefin pipes market is poised for growth, primarily driven by the expanding sprinkler and drip irrigation sectors. Sprinkler irrigation is a modern irrigation technique wherein water is pressurized and sprayed via nozzles connected to a pipe network. The rise in water scarcity and the pressing need to boost agricultural productivity and resource use efficiency has led to the growth of sprinkler and drip irrigation. Such irrigation techniques necessitate the use of polyolefin pipes known for their efficiency, exceptional abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, contributing to their prolonged service life. To illustrate, the Indian government earmarked a goal to bring 10 million hectares under drip and sprinkler irrigation over five years, beginning in 2021-22. In furtherance of this aim, a special drip and sprinkler irrigation fund of $1.2 billion was established with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), a leading Indian regulatory body overseeing regional rural and cooperative banks. The growth of sprinkler and drip irrigation, therefore, emerges as a significant factor fostering the demand for polyolefin pipes.
