The global GRP pipes market size is expected to reach USD 2.1 billion by 2025, escalating at a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) pipes are lightweight, durable, and offer superior corrosion resistance and strength, which makes them suitable for use in water and wastewater transport applications.
Increasing stringent regulations on wastewater collection and treatment are likely to propel the demand for GRP pipes. These are easy to install as compared to their metal counterparts on account of their flexible nature. GRP pipes include lesser joints and can be laid over longer distances, owing to which they are usually preferred for long-distance water transportation.
Developing countries are witnessing an increase in stringent regulations on residential wastewater collection and treatment, which are expected to open new avenues for the growth of GRP pipes industry. Furthermore, mandates by the governments across developed economies to install water treatment facilities in industrial units are likely to boost the demand for GRP pipes in industrial applications. These are also suitable for the transportation of a variety of chemicals owing to their inert nature.
Furthermore, GRP pipes are suitable for use in desalination and hydropower plant. Increasing investments in the industrial sector to cater to the demand from end users are expected to propel the demand for GRP pipes and, in turn, the market growth over the projected period. Key industry players are engaged in R&D to devise enhanced anti-corrosion pipes with an ability to sustain high temperatures and pressures, which is likely to increase the product scope in O&G application. A diversified portfolio, brand reputation, and enhanced product quality were observed to be the key success factors for leading glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe market players such as Amiblu Group.

Further key findings from the report suggest:
- Adipic acid application segment in cyclohexanone market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2027 on account of rising production of nylon 66 resin and fiber, polyurethanes, and plasticizers
- Pharmaceutical industry, soap manufacturing, and film production consume 2.71% of the total cyclohexanone manufactured globally
- U.S. was the second-largest consumer of cyclohexanone after China in 2019 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 2.6%, from 2020 to 2027, owing to the rising production of caprolactam in the country
- Europe and North America together consumed 24% of the total cyclohexanone in 2019, with the presence of major manufacturers such as BASF SE, Ascend Performance Materials, and Advansix Inc.
- Production of cyclohexanone is anticipated to face hindrance from regulatory bodies, due to excessive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, leading to manufacturers investing in R&D activities to develop new environment compliant technologies for the chemical production
- In 2016, the Japanese manufacturer Ube Industries Ltd, adopted a new manufacturing technology through selective hydrogenation of phenol. This process consumes less electricity and steam compared to the conventional cyclohexane process.
