Global Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

CIPP, is one of several pipe rehabilitation methods referred to as Trenchless Technologies. It is an approved method and preferred method to rehabilitating cracked, broken and failed sanitary or storm sewer pipes. Lining is less expensive and more efficient than traditional open cut replacement methods, normally installed with little or no surface disruption. CIPP lining process can be used to rehabilitate virtually any type of pipe including; Clay, Cast Iron, Orangeburg, PVC, ABS, HDPE, Concrete Pipe or Corrugated Metal Pipe.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) market finds that the global Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) market reached a value of USD 2200.14 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 2763.07 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.87% during the forecast period.

Tight supply of raw materials

The impact of the epidemic on the Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) industry is mainly reflected in the supply of raw materials and industry operations. Affected by COVID-19, logistics will be suspended, and the supply of raw materials for Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) will be tight. Production was stagnant, the company's inventory increased, and the production of related enterprises in the severely affected areas was greatly affected. The short-term epidemic has less impact on the supply of raw materials for enterprises, mainly consuming stock materials, and the long-term epidemic will cause incalculable losses. If the epidemic develops further and logistics is always unsatisfactory, small and medium-sized Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) enterprises are likely to be shut down due to insufficient raw material supply, and even large enterprises will face the same problem.

Operation of the industry

In terms of industry operations, due to the impact of the epidemic, the company's management efficiency has decreased and commuting has been severely hindered. Since Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is used for pipeline repair, once the pipeline is damaged, repair work is necessary. Therefore, during the epidemic, the demand for Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) will not change much.

Strength

Repair time is short, can be put into use immediately
Traditional pipeline repair technology requires excavation of the ground. After the pipeline is repaired, the ground needs to be refurbished. Not only is the project huge, the construction period is long, and the cost is higher, but it also easily affects the traffic on the ground. It is difficult to meet the technical requirements of modern cities for pipeline repair. Instead of excavating pipeline repair technology, the pipeline is repaired in the case of small excavation or no excavation. It does not damage other facilities, does not affect urban transportation, and does not require large-scale machinery. The construction operation is relatively simple and convenient, the construction period is shorter, the cost is more economical, and the effect is more significant.
CIPP flexibility and innovation
All drainage pipes are independent, and their pipe diameters and shapes are different. They have special requirements for corrosive water flow and mechanical load-bearing capacity. In addition, local conditions are also quite different. CIPP trenchless repair can produce hoses up to 500M at one time. Even if the size of a section of the pipeline changes, or the pipeline has an arc within 30°, it can be repaired without wrinkles. The hose is suitable for all kinds of pipes: round, oval, egg-shaped, square and other special shapes. The lining repair range: from DN150mm to DN1800mm, and the lining wall thickness is from 3mm to 15mm. Flexible, fast, highly innovative capabilities, short reaction time and unique problem-solving methods enable the UV-curing CIPP lining repair process to save a lot of resources in the planning and construction phase of urban pipe network repair.

Weakness

Application of epoxy resin in CIPP.
The main types of resins commonly used in CIPP technology are unsaturated polyester, epoxy and phenolic resins, with CIPP based on unsaturated polyester resins being the largest market segment. Unsaturated polyester resins impregnate the lining material well and can still be cured at temperatures down to near freezing point. High flexural modulus, low elongation and good chemical resistance make them mainly used for sewer rehabilitation, and their low cost drives the market demand. Epoxy resins are environmentally friendly and meet the requirements of drinking water, mainly used for the restoration of drinking water pipes, but the high cost restricts the use of epoxy resins in CIPP.

Region Overview:

Geographically, North America held the largest market share – 41.94% in 2021.

Company Overview:

Aegion Corporation , Granite Construction, Inland Pipe Rehabilitation (IPR), Waterline Renewal Technologies and Ashimori Industry are the five key players in the global Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) market. These companies have shown consistent growth in revenue, larger volumes of sales and a prominent presence in terms of share in the global Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) market in the past 5 years.

Granite acquired Layne and its subsidiaries in the fall of 2018, to further Granite's strategy to grow through acquisition and diverse end market expansion.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Inversion Method segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

Inversion Method

The inversion method is performed by saturating the tube with resin and inserting it into a device that turns the material inside out as it’s installed into the old pipe. It may be installed through only one opening — shooting to a stopping point without having to dig up and access the other end. This method is often used when installation lengths are longer than what the pull-in-place method can accommodate. The reason is that the friction found in the pull-in-place method is not there.

Pull-in Method

Pull-in-Place is a trenchless method of installing a cured-in-place pipe liner to repair a damaged sewer or drain pipe. The materials used for a pull-in-place installation are the same as for the air inversion method, but the installation of the pipe lining is vastly different.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Municipalities and Utilities, with a market share of 57.62% in 2021.
