Trenchless Pipe Lining Market Report 2026

The trenchless pipe lining market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.47 billion in 2025 to $3.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing municipal pipeline repair needs, rising dependence on imported epoxy systems, early adoption of trenchless rehabilitation, growing urban infrastructure aging, limited domestic liner production.

The trenchless pipe lining market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of sustainable repair technologies, rising investment in underground utility rehabilitation, increasing adoption of advanced resin systems, growth of automated inspection robotics, stronger emphasis on long-life pipeline materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of automated pipe inspection, rising use of precision rehabilitation technologies, expansion of no-dig repair solutions, growing need for resilient underground pipe systems, increased use of remote condition-monitoring tools.

The rise of smart cities is expected to drive growth in the trenchless pipe lining market moving forward. Smart cities use technology to create urban environments that are more efficient, sustainable, and livable for residents. This growth stems from rapid urbanization as more people move into cities, increasing the demand for infrastructure solutions that are efficient and environmentally friendly. Trenchless pipe lining supports these smart cities by enabling underground pipe repairs that avoid disruption to urban life, preserve existing infrastructure, and promote sustainability. It also integrates well with smart water and sewage systems, allowing real-time monitoring and maintenance. For example, in May 2024, according to Modern Diplomacy, an independent platform based in France, Indonesia’s National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025-2045 aims to boost economic growth and improve quality of life through enhanced digital infrastructure and innovative public services. Indonesia has already developed 25 smart cities and plans to establish 100 more, supporting this vision with green technology and sustainable infrastructure. Consequently, the growing number of smart cities is fueling the trenchless pipe lining market.

Leading companies in trenchless pipe lining are investing in innovative technologies like UV-cured solutions to improve operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. UV-cured technology involves hardening materials such as coatings, adhesives, or resins using ultraviolet light. For instance, in July 2024, United Felt, a US-based manufacturer of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liners, introduced a new portfolio of ultraviolet cured-in-place pipe (UV CIPP) products made in the United States. These advanced, fast-curing, multi-layer liners provide durable, flexible, and eco-friendly trenchless pipe rehabilitation options, optimized for gravity sewers and complex pipeline configurations.

In March 2025, Sweden-based engineering firm Trelleborg Group acquired US-based NuFlow Technologies for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to bolster Trelleborg’s presence in the trenchless pipe rehabilitation market by incorporating NuFlow’s specialized small diameter pipelining technologies, liners, resins, and equipment into its existing portfolio. NuFlow Technologies is known for its expertise in trenchless pipe lining solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the trenchless pipe lining market by raising costs for epoxy resins, polymer liners, fiber reinforcement materials, and specialized installation equipment sourced internationally. Municipal water and wastewater projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to heavy dependence on imported lining materials. Nonetheless, tariffs are supporting regional resin production and stimulating localized liner manufacturing, improving long-term supply security.

This trenchless pipe lining market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Trenchless pipe lining is a method for repairing or rehabilitating existing underground pipes by inserting a new lining without the need for extensive excavation or pipe replacement. This technique is used to fix damaged or aging underground pipes by placing a durable liner inside the existing pipe, minimizing disruption and shortening repair time.

The main types of trenchless pipe lining include polymer-based linings, cementitious linings, epoxy-based linings, fiber-reinforced linings, and other specialized materials. Polymer-based linings are protective coatings made from plastic materials applied inside pipes or tanks to prevent leaks, protect against damage, and extend service life. These linings are utilized across various technologies such as inversion lining, sliplining, spray-on lining, cured-in-place lining (CIPP), and other innovative methods. Applications span municipal water and wastewater systems, oil and gas, industrial sectors, telecommunications, building and construction, and more. The key end users include public sector entities, private companies, the residential sector, utility providers, and contractors and service providers.North America was the largest region in the trenchless pipe lining market in 2025.
