Study #2136December 2006$4400219 PagesLarge Diameter PipeUS Industry Study with Forecasts to 2010 & 2015Advances in US demand for large diameter pipe will reflect needs to expand and modernize an aging pipeinfrastructure, with plastic pipe exhibiting the fastest gains based on resin and machinery improvements.Concrete to stay dominantlarge diameter pipe typeLarge diameter pipe demand in the USis projected to grow 2.3 percent annuallyto 215 million feet in 2010, valuedat $8.7 billion. Concrete will continue toaccount for over half of all linear pipefootage due to material advantages suchas structural integrity, durability, and highcompression and pressure resistance.Gains will be stimulated by opportunitiesin storm sewer applications, althoughwater distribution uses will expand at afaster pace, driven by growing problemswith pipe leakage and failure. Best opportunitiesare anticipated for concretepipe in the larger diameters due to growingcompetition from plastic pipe in thesmaller segments.Concrete54%Plastic19%Steel13%Cast Iron13%US Large Diameter Pipe Demand(192 million feet, 2005)Clay 1%Plastic large diameterpipe to grow the fastestPlastic pipe will present the best growthas a result of resin and machineryimprovements, enabling greater penetrationof water distribution, sewer andother applications. High density polyethylene(HDPE) pipe will present the bestopportunities, closely followed by polyvinylchloride (PVC). HDPE pipe demandwill be driven by rapid advances in waterdistribution and corrugated storm sewerapplications. Continued growth in largediameter uses will reflect performanceenhancements, including greater use ofbimodal polyethylene. PVC pipe demandstimulants include improved joining technologiesand resin improvements suchas molecularly oriented polyvinyl chloride.This will enable continued inroadsinto larger diameter storm and sanitarysewer uses.Large diameter steel pipe demand willgrow 2.3 percent per annum to 28.8 millionfeet in 2010 based on the material’shigh strength, rigidity and pressure tolerancein expanding natural gas and oilpipe uses. Cast iron pipe will remain thematerial of choice in applications wherehigh water pressure capabilities arerequired. However, slow cast iron pipegrowth is anticipated due to competitionfrom plastic pipe in water distribution andother uses. Clay pipe demand will alsolose market share to higher performingand lower cost plastic pipe.Natural gas, petroleum,sanitary sewer and wateruses to lead market gainsStorm sewers will remain the leadinglarge diameter pipe market, althoughbetter growth is anticipated in naturalgas, petroleum, sanitary sewer and waterdistribution uses. Natural gas marketswill be stimulated by high energy costs,substantial US gas reserves and theexcellent performance of HDPE pipe ingas distribution applications. Sanitarysewer growth will reflect efforts to maintainclean water standards and alleviatecombined sewer overflows. Advances inwater distribution pipe will be promotedby the many obsolete or undercapacitypipe networks throughout the country.Copyright 2006 The Freedonia Group, Inc.Page Click here to purchase onlineOrder now, click here!
