Impact of covid-19 on Cured-in-place Pipe (CIPP) Market

Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is one of the trenchless (or no-dig) pipeline rehabilitation techniques. It is a non-invasive, jointless, seamless pipe-within-a-pipe that is used for sewer, industrial gas, potable water, and gravity pipe rehabilitation. It can be done inside a pipe with a diameter ranging from 6” to 120” in diameter. Traffic, job productivity, and individuals at home are all affected minimally by this trenchless pipe rehabilitation technology. Municipalities or utilities install it by gaining access to piping systems through city manholes. Manufacturing of CIPP liners must adhere to a number of requirements set forth by ASTM, as well as emission limits set out by other regulatory agencies such as OSHA.

Insituform Technologies, Inc. developed the CIPP technique in 1971, with the first project taking place in London, United Kingdom. Since then, the market's global penetration has continued to grow at an exponential rate. The CIPP technique is already widely used in developed economies, particularly the United States, Germany, and Japan. CIPP technology penetration is currently restricted in developing economies such as China and India; however, this study shows that acceptance is rapidly expanding in these markets as a result of aging pipelines and increased infrastructure rehabilitation spending.


For pipe rehabilitation, trenchless technologies such as CIPP, SIPP, pipe bursting, and slip lining are used. CIPP is the most widely utilized technique, accounting for more than three-quarters of the market for trenchless pipe rehabilitation. Over the last five years, the worldwide Cured-in-place Pipe (CIPP) Market has grown at a respectable rate; however, the market is expected to slow down in its growth trajectory amid the pandemic. Stratview Research estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a minimal impact on the trenchless technology market, including the CIPP business, based on analysis of previous downturns, such as The Great Recession (2008) and other crises/pandemics, as well as detailed discussions with industry players and experts. From 2021 onwards, the CIPP market is expected to revive at a rapid speed, filling all of the gaps (market loss) left by the pandemic and eventually reaching a value of US$ 3.0 billion in 2026.

The weakening economy may have a short-term impact on municipal and government investment in infrastructure projects, causing market demand to be delayed. However, the long-term outlook appears bright, with plenty of room for expansion. Major growth drivers of the global Cured-in-place Pipe (CIPP) Market include aging potable and sewage water structures increased spending by municipalities and utilities on rehabilitation, increased awareness about the benefits of trenchless systems, and the superior performance of CIPP over competing technologies.

 

Regional Insights

North America is expected to continue to be the leading market for CIPP during the forecast period. The United States is CIPP's largest market in both North America and the world. The majority of pipeline construction in the region occurred after WWII and requires rehabilitation, with CIPP being the most appropriate approach for pipe rehabilitation.

 Asia-Pacific is likely to be the fastest-growing region. The region currently has a low penetration of trenchless technology, but it is rapidly gaining momentum.

Key Players

Raw material suppliers, tube manufacturers, CIPP liner manufacturers, installation contractors, municipalities, and utility owners are all part of this market's supply chain.
