Polyethylene (PE) Pipes for Water Conduction Market Report 2026

The polyethylene (pe) pipes for water conduction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.35 billion in 2025 to $7.81 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of municipal water supply projects, replacement of aging metal pipelines, growth in agricultural irrigation systems, increasing urbanization rates, availability of flexible polyethylene piping.

The polyethylene (pe) pipes for water conduction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart water infrastructure, rising focus on water loss reduction, expansion of rural and urban water networks, growing demand for corrosion-free piping, increasing adoption in industrial water applications. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of hdpe pipes in water infrastructure, rising demand for leak-resistant pipe systems, growing use in irrigation and sewage networks, expansion of pressure-resistant water conduction solutions, enhanced focus on long-term reliability.

The increasing investment in water infrastructure is anticipated to drive the growth of the polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction market in the future. Water infrastructure encompasses the essential systems and structures responsible for sourcing, treating, distributing, and disposing of water and wastewater. As outdated systems deteriorate, causing frequent failures, leaks, and inefficiencies that threaten water reliability and public health, investment in water infrastructure is rising. This investment involves expanding and modernizing water supply networks, where PE pipes are often selected for their durability, flexibility, and long lifespan. For example, in October 2024, Water UK, a trade association based in the UK, reported that water companies plan to allocate around $13 billion (£10 billion) annually over the next five years, with yearly investments expected to increase to $15.5 billion (£11.5 billion) between 2030 and 2035 and surpass $20 billion (£15 billion) per year by 2050. Consequently, the growing investment in water infrastructure is boosting the demand for polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction market.

Leading companies in the polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction market are emphasizing facility expansions to introduce new capabilities or technologies while ensuring continuity at existing locations. Facility expansion refers to enlarging a current site to support increased operations or anticipated growth. For instance, in August 2023, Hayleys Agriculture Holdings Limited, a Sri Lanka-based agricultural product manufacturer, inaugurated the Inotec polyethylene pipe manufacturing plant. Located in the Lindel Industrial Zone, Sapugaskanda, this facility aims to improve agricultural practices in Sri Lanka by offering advanced irrigation solutions. It facilitates local production of high-density and low-density polyethylene pipes, making them more affordable and accessible. The pipes, available in sizes ranging from 16 mm to 63 mm, are suitable for various irrigation methods, including drip and sprinkler systems. The manufacturing process also highlights sustainability by using high-quality virgin resins.

In December 2024, Fortress Investment Group, a US-based investment management firm, acquired Infra Pipe Solutions (IPS) for an undisclosed sum. Following this acquisition, IPS is expected to receive increased investment that will support its growth and expansion. This positions the company to effectively address the rising demand driven by major infrastructure projects across North America that rely on high-performance polyethylene pipe solutions. Infra Pipe Solutions (IPS) is a Canada-based manufacturer of polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction.
