Asia Pacific to Sway Fiberglass Pipes Market

The Global fiberglass pipes market is poised to have a notable growth at an impressive CAGR over the predicted years (2019-2024). Fiber glass pipes simply put are composite products that are made from glass fiber reinforcements that are enclosed with thermosetting resin. Chief among the factors that has resulted in the popularity and increased usage of fiberglass pipes over traditional pipes include reduced maintenance cost, reduced installation costs, ease of installation, good mechanical properties, dimensional stability high strength-to-weight ratio and overall durability during extreme conditions. Another benefit of using fiberglass pipes is that they have a smooth inner surface which helps in smooth internal bore, create better flow of service liquid and also resists scale-deposits. Owing to its alluring features, fiberglass pipes finds wide application in irrigation, sewage, chemicals and oil and gas. In comparison to traditional pipes, the fiberglass pipes are virtually inert and have low density, high tensile strength, high durability and superior strength. Besides, they possess better mechanical properties which ensures extended product life. The specialty of fiberglass pipes is that they do not have joints or welds, due to which there are lesser chances for punctures and cracks.

There are plentiful factors that is boosting the growth of the fiberglass pipes market. These factors as per the Market Research Future (MRFR) report include growing demand for pipes that are fire retardant, lightweight and has high stiffness and high corrosion resistance, demand for pipes that are easy to install, is flexible for producing complex shapes and has various diameters to cater to the various demands of the customers and has low maintenance cost, high demand in emerging economies, burgeoning demand for water and sewage management applications, growing oil and gas production and lesser chances of punctures and cracks. On the contrary, stringent rules on the usage of fiberglass pipes and high price of material are factors which may obstruct the growth of the fiberglass pipes market over the predicted years.

Market Segmentation

MRFR report provides an extensive segmental analysis of the fiberglass pipes market on the basis of type, fiber type and end-use.
