Global Pre-Insulated Pipes Market - 2022-2029

Global Pre-Insulated Pipes Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global pre-insulated pipes market reached US$ XX million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2022-2029.

Insulated or pre-insulated pipes are pipes with multiple layers that commonly find application in heating and hot water distribution since they can keep the fluid in the pipes at a constant temperature. The most common parts of a pre-insulated pipe include a steel pipe, an insulating layer and an outer casing. Though single insulated pipes are the most commonly used type, two pipes insulated within the same casing are becoming increasingly prevalent in Europe. The direct heat transfer between pipes and their supports is avoided using insulated pipe support systems. Polyurethane foam or a comparable insulating such as High-density polyethylene is commonly utilized to manufacture these products, particularly in the manufacture of their outer shell.

Market Dynamics

Applying pre-insulated pipes in hospital HVAC systems acts as a major market driver. Nonetheless, volatility in raw materials prices and stringent regulatory compliances could be considered a major market restraint.

Application of pre-insulated pipes in hospital HVAC systems

Hospitals are programs that, by their very nature, consume a lot of energy and are frequently mismanaged, with inefficient and out-of-date systems. Energy services must be a premise in every new project to enhance energy efficiency. HVAC is the most specialized service utilized in hospital programs, composed of central heating by radiators, mini-split units, central VRV-systems, direct expansion and water air handlers, mini-chillers for local cooled water generation and air-cooled chillers for central chilled water generation all installed in existing buildings.

In the case of hospital HAVC systems, outside protection is supplied by insulated pipes made of polystyrene foam shells with a steam barrier made of polyethylene film and galvanized sheet lining and it must be installed on-site with premade shell sections, as the insulation's continuity is compromised due to voids that create moisture. Further, since the mechanical robustness of galvanized or stainless steel sheet protection is insufficient to sustain collisions, the pre-insulated pipes are effective and are widely employed in HVAC systems utilized in hospital programs. Since healthcare, particularly hospital programs, is a widely developing sector with vast growth potential, the growing application of pre-insulated pipes in hospital programs could be a major market driver for the respective market.

Stringent regulatory compliances and volatility in raw material prices

Pre-insulated pipes are made from polyethylene, polybutene, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and stainless steel as raw materials. Changes in demand and availability for these raw materials could significantly influence the pre-insulated pipe business. Because some of these components are produced from crude oil, an increase in crude oil prices increases raw material prices, influencing the pre-insulated pipe business. Fluctuations in raw material costs also damage manufacturers' operating margins, making it difficult to stay afloat in the market. Similarly, the respective factor also creates a significant entry barrier for small and medium-sized producers, who do not profit from the long-term cost-benefit ratio because they cannot make the large initial investments required to enter the market.

Further, pre-insulated pipe production is strictly regulated. Several laws and compliances, including EN, ASTM and API, have been applied to the production processes. The investment required to meet these requirements is high and is hard for small-scale manufacturers to meet. As a result, the respective market entrance is heavily restricted. Therefore, the high raw material prices, fluctuation and stringent regulations could be a major market restraint.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic caused havoc on the global pre-insulated pipes industry due to three key factors:

The availability of raw materials and final product sales have been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic's lockdowns and government controls.

Second, the production of eco-friendly food packaging necessitates a number of manufacturing and purification processes, which have been greatly hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic's lockdowns and government controls.

The overall drop in end-user activities lowered demand for pre-insulated pipes, causing demand-supply dynamics to shift.

However, the growth in end-use segments such as pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, chemical industry, among others, is expected to resurrect the market prospects of the respective market.

Segment Analysis

The global pre-insulated pipes market is classified based on type, layer, materials used, medium, installation, application, end-user and region.

The district heating and cooling dominates the end-user segment due to the wide acceptance of these systems for their high efficiency and low maintenance

The pre-insulated pipes market's end-user segment consists of district heating and cooling, oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure and utility, food and beverages and others. The linking of numerous heat sources or chillers via hot water/steam/chilled water networks to provide room space heating or cooling to consumers is known as district heating and cooling. District heating and cooling systems are excellent where the thermal load density and annual load factor are high. By end-use industry, the district heating and cooling segment is expected to be the largest segment of the pre-insulated pipes market. Excellent thermal efficiency, decreased maintenance, reduced on-site work and greater safety are just a few of the benefits of pre-insulated pipes, which are better protected against leaks and offer superior quality insulation that minimizes energy loss.

Geographical Analysis

Europe is expected to dominate the pre-insulated pipes market’s regional segment due to the region’s initiatives to reduce pollution

The European market is envisaged to grow at the fastest rate globally and dominate the respective market. The European Union has implemented the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive to limit dangerous chemicals, which is likely to boost the market for pre-insulated pipes in Europe.

Competitive Landscape

The global pre-insulated pipes market is less dynamic in terms of the number and strength of global and local producers. Due to a small number of manufacturers such as Georg Fischer Ltd, LOGSTOR International Sp. Z o.o., Uponor, Watts, PERMA-PIPE International Holdings, Inc, KE KELIT Austria, Brugg Kabel AG, Polypipe, SIMONA AG and Geberit AG, the market is classified as consolidated. To achieve competitive advantages and recognition in their particular markets, significant market stakeholders use market techniques such as mergers, acquisitions, product launches, contributions and collaborations.
