Report Code: CMR 10806 Report Format: PDF + Excel

PVDF Pipes Market Overview

The PVDF pipes market size is expected to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of around 4.0% from 2022 to 2027. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a polymer that is made from free-radical suspension or the emulsion polymerization process. The perfluorononanoic acid is used in the anion form by solubilizing monomers in the processing. PVDF pipes offer high durability, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and corrosion resistance properties compared to other plastic options, thus making it a suitable choice for applications in various industries such as chemicals, oil & gas which uses hydraulic power packs for offshore, construction, water treatment, and others. The PVFD pipes industry is estimated to grow due to its rising demand in chemical processing, treatment of water, oil and gas transportation, and others. Thus, owing to its excellent properties and high growth prospects among major end-use industries, the PVDF pipes market will be driven in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The PVDF pipes market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The imposed lockdown has led to production halts and disturbed supply chains in various end-use industries. The PVDF pipe is majorly used in chemicals processing and industrial applications such as bromine transportation, chlorinated salts, hydrochloric acid, methyl alcohol, and others, owing to its high chemical resistance. Many chemical manufacturing units have reduced their operations due to labor shortages, lockdown restrictions, slashing oil prices, and others. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, chemical manufacturing in China saw a fall by approx. 20%, whereas the profits were declined by 65%. Thus, applications for PVDF pipes are declining due to temporary halt, chemical production restrictions, and disrupted global supply chains during a pandemic, thereby leading to a fall in demand for the PVDF pipes market. The oil & gas sector is also impacted by the covid-19 outbreak. The PVDF pipes are used in offshore oil & gas production and drilling. The pipeline and drilling projects were delayed and gas consumption saw a major fall due to lockdown and supply chain disturbance, resulting in the shutdown in offshore pipeline projects as well. Thus, the pipes applications in the oil and gas industry were adversely affected and led to low demand for piping and other activities. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), a 7-10% decline in demand for oil & gas was estimated in 2020, with a massive drop of 9.3 million barrels in a day. Thus, due to halted productions and declining demand in major industries, the global demand and growth for the PVDF pipes market were negatively impacted during Covid-19.

The Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) also announced to invest INR 3681 crore for setting up India's first mega scale unit for manufacturing specialty chemicals in Haryana. The PVFD pipes are increasingly used in processing and transportation, owing to their chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, durability, and non-reactive properties. Thus, the growing application in oil and gas, chemicals, and others will boost the demand for PVDF pipes, owing to their high chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability compared to other pipe material options.

Increasing wastewater treatment and management will drive the PVDF pipe market in the forecast period

The market for PVDF pipe is growing owing to its high corrosion resistance, durability, and chemical inertness. The PVDF is an excellent option for protecting the steel pipe from chloride stress cracking and other corrosive conditions. The increasing emphasis on wastewater treatment and management from the government and various industries will drive the PVDF pipes industry. The PVDF pipes are used for transporting the wastewater from industries or buildings to the treatment plant. The non-reactive and durable properties make it a suitable option for such water treatment applications. According to Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the government of the U.S spent approx. USD 18 billion on wastewater management in 2018. Furthermore, water consumption near industrial areas and the requirement for safety is also boosting the need for proper pipelines and wastewater pipes. Thus, the PVDF pipes market will have major demand in water treatment such as transportation, drainage, and maintenance, owing to huge investments and developments for the wastewater and water treatment plants.

PVDF Pipe Market– Challenges
