Opportunities for North American FRP pipe market to reach $692 million by 2022

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the North American FRP pipe looks promising with growth opportunities in various end use industries, such as oil & gas, chemical, water portable, and sewer gravity and pressure pipe. The North American FRP pipe market is expected to reach an estimated $692 million by 2022 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2017 to 2022. The major growth drivers for this market are increase in construction of water supply systems, development of sewage treatment, and increasing oil and gas exploration activities. 

In this market, epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester are the major resins used to manufacture FRP pipe. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the epoxy resin is expected to remain the largest segment by value and volume and polyester resin will experience the highest growth over the forecast period.

By diameter, FRP pipe is available in small (<18”), medium (18”-60”), and large ((>60”) diameter. Small diameter FRP pipe is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume consumption. 

By pressure unit, FRP pipe is segmented into less than 150 psi (pounds per square inch.), 150 to 300 psi, and more than 300 psi. Less than 150 psi is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume consumption.

The United States is expected to remain the largest region by value and volume and it is also expected to experience the highest growth over the forecast period due to growth in end use industries. 

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the introduction of onsite FRP pipe manufacturing facilities and development of grooved coupling method to join FRP pipe. National Oilwell Varco, Future Pipe Industries, and Hobas Pipe USA are among the major suppliers in the North American FRP pipe market.
