Composite Pipes Market - By Manufacturing Process 

The filament wound process dominated the composite pipes market in 2021. This manufacturing process offers high specific stiffness and strength, thermal insulation, and good corrosion resistance to composite pipes. Owing to such robust properties, market players and research organizations are engaging in the higher implementation of the filament wound process in the manufacturing of composite pipes. For instance, as per the 2019 journal by BioResources, an advanced bio-composite pipe structure was developed involving bamboo slivers through a filament wound process. Such a growing implementation of the filament wound process will increase its demand in the forecast period. Rotary casting will witness significant demand in the forecast period. 

Composite Pipes Market - By Material

Polyether ether ketone dominated the composite pipes market in 2021. This material type offers excellent mechanical properties and resistance to chemicals, fatigue, and wear. Moreover, it comes with exceptionally high-temperature resistance. Such robust properties make polyether ether ketone a suitable material for the manufacturing of high-quality composite pipes. Market players are focusing on the expansion of the polyether ether ketone composite pipes portfolio in the market. For instance, in October 2021, US-based TechnipFMC acquired UK-based Magma Global Ltd to accelerate the development of breakthrough composite pipe technologies using Magma Global’s polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer. Such high expansion in the use of polyether ether ketone will increase its demand in the composite pipes market in the forecast period. Polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene will have significant demand in the forecast period. 

Composite Pipes Market - By End Use Industry

The construction industry dominated the composite pipes market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 5.4% in the forecast period. Composite pipes are used in high quantity in the construction industry for enhanced piping application. The construction sector is expanding globally and this will further stimulate the higher uses of composite pipes in the forecast period. For instance, as per the data by India Brand Equity Foundation India is projected to become the world’s third-largest construction market by 2022.
