High Density Polyethylene Pipe Market Report 2026

The high density polyethylene pipe market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $24.22 billion in 2025 to $25.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of municipal water supply networks, increasing replacement of aging metal pipelines, growth in agricultural irrigation projects, adoption of plastic piping systems, rising demand for corrosion-resistant pipes.

The high density polyethylene pipe market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in water and wastewater infrastructure, rising demand for high-pressure piping systems, expansion of gas distribution networks, growing focus on leak-free pipeline solutions, increasing adoption of sustainable piping materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of hdpe pipes in water infrastructure, rising demand for large-diameter pressure pipes, growing use of flexible piping in challenging terrains, expansion of hdpe applications in oil and gas, enhanced focus on long-life piping systems.

The increasing development of infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe market going forward. Infrastructure development involves the planning, construction, and upkeep of essential physical systems such as transportation, energy, water, and communication networks. This growth is largely fueled by rising urbanization, as expanding cities demand improved transportation, water supply, and housing to accommodate growing populations. HDPE pipes support infrastructure development by providing lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant solutions, making them ideal for water, gas, and sewage systems. These pipes offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of utility networks. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that total government investment in infrastructure reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, representing a 3.9% increase from 2022. Thus, the rise in infrastructure development is propelling growth in the HDPE pipe market.

Leading companies in the HDPE pipe market are focusing on developing advanced piping solutions, such as conductive double-wall piping systems, to improve safety and durability in underground electrical and communication installations. Conductive double-wall piping systems are specialized HDPE pipes featuring an inner conductive layer that facilitates easy detection and tracing, enhancing safety in underground utility installations. For instance, in October 2024, KPS Piping Systems, a Sweden-based manufacturer, introduced three conductive HDPE double-wall piping systems. These systems include a co-extruded conductive liner and integrated leak detection between the pipe walls, ensuring safety and compliance with environmental standards. Each system consists of a 90 mm primary containment pipe inside a 110 mm secondary containment pipe, providing extra protection and allowing interstitial monitoring. A zero-permeation EVOH layer ensures the safe transport of fuels and chemicals, while electrofusion-welded components eliminate the need for butt welds, simplifying installation, reducing costs, and shortening build time.

In October 2023, Acu-Tech Pty Ltd., an Australia-based manufacturer, acquired JAG Poly Pty Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Acu-Tech aims to enhance its market presence across Australia and provide reliable, durable, and sustainable HDPE piping solutions that align with its core values. JAG Poly Pty Ltd. specializes in manufacturing, fabricating, and on-site welding of HDPE piping systems.
