Polyethylene (PE) Pipes for Water Conduction Market Report 2025

The polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.9 billion in 2024 to $7.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the increasing shift from metal to plastic piping systems, the expanding use of PE pipes in drip and sprinkler irrigation, the rising installation of pipeline networks in the mining and industrial sectors, the growing demand for flexible piping in hilly and uneven terrains, and the increasing retrofitting of aging water infrastructure with PE solutions.

The polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction market size are expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for efficient irrigation systems, expanding agricultural activities in arid regions, increasing government investments in rural water infrastructure, the growth of urban water supply networks, and a shift toward corrosion-resistant and durable piping solutions. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in smart irrigation technologies, development of sustainable and recyclable polyethylene materials, innovations in multilayer and composite polyethylene piping, progress in leak detection and monitoring systems, and the creation of high-pressure polyethylene pipes for precision farming.

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 As outdated systems deteriorate, causing frequent failures, leaks, and inefficiencies that threaten water reliability and public health, investment in water infrastructure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.

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.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.

Polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction are tubular components designed to efficiently transport water across various systems. They are engineered to provide long-term performance, reliability, and resistance to environmental and operational stresses. These pipes are commonly used due to their ability to maintain structural integrity under pressure and changing conditions.

The primary types of polyethylene (PE) pipes for water conduction include high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes, and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pipes. High-density polyethylene pipes are strong, flexible, and corrosion-resistant plastic pipes widely utilized for water supply, sewage, irrigation, and gas distribution because of their durability, lightweight properties, and extended service life. They are employed in water supply, sewage systems, irrigation, industrial applications, and fire protection by various end-users, such as municipal corporations, construction firms, the agricultural sector, manufacturing industries, and institutional users.
