MARKET OVERVIEW

Fiberglass pipes have become a significant part of uses with high features, low maintenance, and long product life. Which, the filament winding is the easy automation process and the most suitable for the manufacture of pipes, containers, and tubes. Fiberglass pipes can be developed from the composition of materials like fiberglass, polyester resin, and fillers. They provide strength, long durability, and excellent tensile strength. This property is necessary for onshore and offshore applications against extreme pressures and conditions. Fiberglass pipes are suitable for the transport of highly corrosive materials, acids, and biological fluids. It offers low installation costs, corrosion resistance, and  benefits that are predicted to see significant expansion in the coming years.

The escalating adoption of fiberglass pipe in various end-application industries, such as oil and gas and irrigation, is a key factor that is predicted to drive the expansion of the worldwide industry. Also, the escalating call from the chemical and fiberglass industries for wastewater is another factor that is predicted to drive worldwide industry expansion in the coming years.

MARKET DRIVERS

The expansion of the fiberglass pipe industry is currently driven by its low maintenance costs compared to traditional tubes. Escalating calls for lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable pipes in several countries due to the high associated project cost for the installation of pipes for pipes and heavy materials. This factor is predicted to fuel the global fiberglass pipe industry for years to come. Rapid industrialization in all countries is driving the call for profitable and sustainable pipes due to the rising cost of metal pipes and tubes. This is predicted to boost the fiberglass pipe market during the foreseen period. The increase in population has escalated the call for fuel, oil, and gas to meet daily needs. This in turn has escalated in the construction and implementation of pipelines to transport these materials. This is an important factor that is predicted to drive the call for fiberglass pipes in the coming years. Polyurethane is predicted to show a significant expansion rate for the fiberglass pipe market demand in the coming years due to its excellent performance under high-pressure conditions. This factor is likely to drive the call for fiberglass pipe during the foreseen period. The expansion of the fiberglass pipe market size is majorly promoted by its low maintenance costs. This is reinforced by the increase in exploration and production activities in the oil and gas industry and the escalating call for wastewater and water management applications. In addition to this, the rapid development of emerging economies is driving a strong call in the fiberglass business.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Fluctuations in carbon fiber raw material prices are predicted to hamper the worldwide fiberglass pipe industry during the estimated period. Carbon fiber is a highly preferred material for the manufacture of automobile components and aircraft components.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Filament winding is widely adopted in the large-scale fiberglass pipe and tube manufacturing process due to the advantages of high efficiency and low cost. The main advantages of filament winding are highly preferred over the other processes that is likely to drive the industry for fiberglass pipes during the foreseen period. Due to escalating calls from the aviation and automotive industries, fiberglass raw material suppliers are facing strong pressure from other end-use industries, where pipes are primarily employed. The increase in call and the supply gap has resulted in a significant increase in the commercial prices of carbon fiber materials around the world.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Fluctuation in raw material prices followed by a gap between supply and call is the main factor predicted to hamper the overall call for fiberglass pipes. High-cost raw materials are a major factor that is predicted to slow the expansion of the target industry. Another factor that is likely to challenge worldwide industry expansion to some degree is the escalating call for low-cost technologies.
