At 4.9% CAGR, South & Central America Plastic Pipes Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 3,641.81 Million by 2031, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the South & Central America plastic pipes market was valued at US$ 2,479.15 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 3,641.81 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2031. Use of sustainable materials in plastic pipe manufacturing and growing residential & commercial construction activities are among the critical factors attributed to drive the South & Central America plastic pipes market growth.
Sustainable and eco-friendly materials are the subject of extensive research in various fields, fueled by their increasing utilization in commercial applications. The easy availability of natural raw materials for the production of eco-friendly polymers is an added factor boosting their supply and demand. Further, due to the rising concerns and awareness about the social and environmental impacts of synthesized chemicals, customers are shifting toward the utilization of sustainably manufactured plastic pipes. Stringent government regulations on the use of toxic chemicals across the globe have encouraged many market players to develop nontoxic alternatives and green products, aiding global sustainability goals. The global transition toward sustainability and circular economy leads to increased research and development activities associated with plastic pipes.
In response to growing environmental concerns, PVC pipe manufacturers are exploring innovative formulations integrating bio-based plasticizers and stabilizers, such as Bio-PVC, aiming to decrease reliance on conventional additives. For instance, in June 2024, Hanwha designed a bio-attributed PVC by integrating biomaterials into its PVC production. This development highlights the commitment of market players to reduce ecological impact and foster an eco-friendly and socially responsible approach to PVC pipe production. In addition, the key market players are adopting closed-loop recycling technologies to recycle PVC and PE. This strategic closed-loop recycling technology addresses environmental concerns associated with plastic disposal and determines a commitment to circular economy principles. Thus, the use of sustainable materials in plastic pipe manufacturing is expected to become a significant trend in the plastic pipes market during the forecast period.
