The pipes and fittings market is set for a smooth flow in terms of growth with demand up for pipelines and HVAC systems, according to a Global Industry Analysts market forecast. The estimated pipes and fittings industry value is $352.4 billion by 2024. This is said to be because of the rising worldwide population and infrastructure development.
Pipe systems, particularly for water, oil and gas transport, and waste management, will be popular through the next five years. An example given was seamless pipes which are needed in rising communities for such use and now easier to drill thanks to improvements in urbanization such as better horizontal drilling.
Cast iron pipes which are known to be durable were mentioned as in-demand in the construction industry. With more structures being constructed around the globe, there will also be more of these strong types of pipelines needed.
In the booming oil and gas industries, meanwhile, it was reported that steel and plastic pipes that are corrosion-resistant will dominate supply. Traditional oil and gas pipes tend to age fast so the two tougher pipe types are preferred nowadays.
