ELFA President and CEO Ralph Petta said, “February metrics show healthy new business growth compared to the same period pre-pandemic last year. As vaccine distribution picks up across the country, labor markets improve and interest rates remain low, the U.S. economy will only improve as we move into Q2. Business confidence is at an historic high as measured by our Foundation’s Monthly Confidence Index (MCI). All this bodes well for business growth and expansion and the accompanying accelerating demand for productive equipment.” www.elfaonline.org/data/mlfi.
- China possesses massive agriculture, construction, manufacturing, oil and gas and utility sectors, all of which support plastic pipe demand.
- China’s diverse process manufacturing industry – including chemicals, food processing, primary metals, pulp and paper and textiles – further supports sales.
China’s construction sector is nearly four times the size of that of the United States, the next largest national market, with its sales of polyethylene pipe around three times larger within that market. China’s infrastructure investment continues to make great strides, with product sales relative to population nearly double the global average. Nevertheless, the United States remains a more intensive user of plastic pipe on a per capita basis across many applications.
Globally, demand for polyethylene pipe is projected to grow 3.7 percent per year to 15.3 million metric tons in 2024, driven by increasing use of PE pipe across all markets. High density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe demand will record healthy growth on average through 2024 as pipe made from this resin is favored over other materials in water and sewer applications.
Global Polyethylene Pipe analyzes the world polyethylene pipe industry by country, resin and market. Historical data for 2009, 2014 and 2019 and forecasts for the years 2024 and 2029 are provided. Data for polyethylene pipe are presented in metric tons (weight of the entire pipe) and dollars. Demand is segmented by resin type: high density polyethylene (HDPE), cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and medium density polyethylene (MDPE). Market segments include: construction (potable water transmission and distribution; conduit; drain, waste, and vent; storm and sanitary sewer/drainage pipe), energy (oil and gas drilling, oil and gas transmission, natural gas distribution), agriculture (irrigation pipe) and industrial/structural/mechanical.
