Pipe Relining Market is expected to reach US$ 12,761.26 million by 2030

Rapid Urbanization with Significant Investment in Smart City Projects Bolsters Pipe Relining Market Growth

According to our latest study on "Pipe Relining Market Forecast to 2030 – Global Analysis – by Solution Type and End User," the market is expected to grow from US$ 8,499.51 million in 2022 to US$ 12,761.26 million by 2030; it is anticipated to record a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030. Apart from growth drivers, the report covers the pipe relining market trends and their foreseeable impact during the forecast period.

Growing urbanization with significant investments in infrastructure rebuilding across the world is the major factor driving the pipe relining market growth. According to the updated list of urban areas provided by the US Census Bureau in December 2022, the urban population in the US increased by 6.4% between 2010 and 2020. Urban areas have become denser, with an average population density rising from 2,343 in 2010 to 2,553 in 2020. The West region of the US remained the most urbanized region among the country's four census areas, with 88.9% of its inhabitants living in cities, followed by the Northeast region with 84.0%. Apart from the US, Spain has also witnessed a notable rise in urbanization. According to the figures revealed by the United Nations, the percentage of the population that resided in cities was 80.8% (i.e., accounting for 37.5 million people), which increased to 82% in 2023.

Pipe Relining Market Share — by Region, 2022

As more people relocate to cities, the demand for water and its consumption increases. According to the United Nations, buildings are responsible for ~12% of global water usage. It is costly to rebuild the water pipelines in the public infrastructure. Thus, old pipelines are replenished with minimum investment using pipe relining. The growing number of smart city initiatives across the world is a major driving factor behind the growth of the pipe relining market size.

Smart cities are rapidly evolving with the growing urban population. Water and energy are the two most often used resources in cities. Thus, governments and companies worldwide are implementing smart water management, which promotes the demand for pipe relining to prevent water wastage due to damages. Smart cities use innovative techniques to improve water management, resulting in more efficiency, cost savings, and proactive decision-making. Smart cities optimize water management operations with the use of pipe relining. Owing to the benefits of smart cities, governments of various countries are taking initiatives to develop smart cities. According to SmartAmerica, in June 2022, city governments in the US announced their plan to invest approximately US$ 41 trillion in infrastructure upgrades and the implementation of Internet of Things solutions over the next 20 years. Also, the European Union Commission's Horizon Europe objective aims to transform 100 cities into climate-neutral and smart by 2030. Such initiatives are projected to support the development of smart cities. These smart cities are expected to have a proper water management system and water treatment activities, which require pipe relining to avoid water wastage. Thus, the growing number of smart city initiatives is contributing to the growing pipe relining market size.

The scope of the pipe relining market report focuses on North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), the Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America). In North America, pipelines that have been operating for over 10 years cause water wastage. These pipelines are being replenished through the CIPP method to help repair broken or damaged pipes without the need to replace sewer lines or trenches wholly. If the damaged sewer lines are under the trees, driveways, sidewalks, near extensive landscaping, or other semi-permanent features, the excavation of the sewer may lead to heavy investments as well as collateral damage to the nearby area. In the US, the aging infrastructure of water, oil, and gas pipeline networks across the country is driving the pipe relining market growth. According to the 2021 Aging Infrastructure Report by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the average age of the water pipeline network is 45 years, with a few exceeding a century. Notably, the Midwest and Southeast regions of the country have experienced high rates of pipe breakage in recent years, contributing to substantial water loss from distribution networks. To tackle this challenge, the US government invested around US$ 50 billion in 2022 to enhance water infrastructure. The project includes water-pipe replacements, repair, and maintenance. Pipe relining is essential in repairing damaged water pipelines and optimizing water flow within the updated infrastructure. With a focus on modernizing and securing water distribution networks, the pipe relining market is well-positioned to benefit from this historic investment, ensuring more resilient and efficient water treatment systems across the nation. 

In the US, there are more than 190,000 miles of liquid petroleum product pipelines. These pipelines are connected from the petroleum refineries producing areas to chemical plants and pumps to deliver the products to American consumers. The US has more than 91,067 kilometers (i.e., 56,587 miles) of oil pipeline network and around 333,366 km (i.e., 207,145 miles) of gas pipelines. These pipelines require continuous repair, maintenance, and replacement to avoid leakages.

Companies in the US are focusing on improving the performance of underground pipeline networks and are moving toward new technologies such as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). A few of the major US-based manufacturers include Nu Flow Corporate, Aegion Corporation, and Roto-Rooter. In September 2020, Aegion Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Insituform Technologies, has received a contract to rehabilitate more than 7,000 linear feet of pressurized water pipelines in Portsmouth, Virginia, using Thermopipe Technology. In June 2020, it also received a contract value of US$ 6 million from the City of Newton, Massachusetts, for the rehabilitation of its wastewater systems.

The demand for quick and cost-effective solutions in the country's construction sector is expected to support the growth of the pipe relining market. Further, as the infrastructure in the country is getting old, increasing importance is being placed on rehabilitating the nation's wastewater treatment collection systems. Tree root intrusion, cracks, settling, and other disturbances that develop over time lead to deteriorating pipelines and other conveyance structures, including wastewater collection systems. Government agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are unveiling programs to improve sewer and water-related infrastructure. For instance, in February 2022, the EPA recognized 49 water infrastructure projects within the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Drinking Water SRF programs.

Based on solution type, the pipe relining market share is segmented into cured-in-place pipe, pull-in-place, pipe bursting, and internal pipe coating. Among these, the cured-in-place pipes segment held the largest share in 2022, primarily owing to increasing demand from municipalities for water conservation. According to the America's Water Works Association (AWWA), the cost of repairing and expanding the pipeline for the US drinking water infrastructure is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in the next 25 years. This cost can be reduced with the help of advanced solutions such as cured-in-place pipes and pull-in pipes. In the cured-in-place pipe solution, damaged pipes are not replaced after their use. Instead, resins are added to make pipelines better.

Advanced Trenchless Inc., Roto-Rooter Group Inc., Silverlining Holding Corporation, Nu Flow Corporate, Perma-Liner Industries LLC, RPB Inc, Specialized Pipe Technologies, Pipe Restoration Solutions, and Aegion Corporation are among the key players profiled in the pipe relining market report. Companies in the pipe relining market mainly focus on product and service enhancements by integrating advanced features and technologies into their offerings.
