Global FRP Fibre Reinforced Plastic Pipes Market 2025 – 2034

Reports Description

According to Custom Market Insights (CMI), The Global Fibre Reinforced Plastic Pipes Market Size was valued at USD 2.68 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.83 Billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach USD 5.16 Billion by the end of 2034 at CAGR of approximately 6.77% during the forecast period 2025-2034.

The FRP or reinforced plastic is a complex material made of a rigid polymer matrix, which is reinforced with different types of fibers, including glass, carbon, basalt, etc. After adding the thread, the polymer becomes the reinforced polymer. These fibers are used across various industries, including aerospace, construction, automotive, etc. Despite these standard reinforced fibers, asbestos, paper, and wood are sometimes integrated as reinforced fibers.

Without the addition of the reinforced fiber, the original plastic, known as the matrix or binding agent, is challenging and weak, becoming more rigid and robust after adding reinforced fiber. The volume of integration depends upon the type of product. Reinforced fiber generally plays a role in providing elasticity and relative strength to the matrix. The FRP pipes are non-metallic substances made by the winding glass technique of fiber filaments. These fibers are the blending mixture of epoxy resin and the heat curing agent. The FRP pipes are used in tankers, piping systems, multiple areas of ships, etc. The diameter and bending angle of the pipes vary depending on the requirement.

FRP Pipes Market Segmentation

The fiber-reinforced plastic pipe market is segmented by type, end-user, and region.

Market segmentation based on the type

Based on fiber type, the FRP pipe market is segmented into glass, carbon, basalt, and aramid composites. As per the revenue, the glass fiber segment has dominated the market with a market percentage of 66% in 2021 and is expected to expand its value during the forecast period. Glass fiber is the ideal composite material for polymers for several reasons. 

For instance, integrating glass fiber with plastics ensures high reliability and can be easily shaped in a molten state to form a rigid structure. Therefore, it can be manufactured according to different types of requirements. The glass fiber also possesses the chemical inertness property, which protects the FRP materials from being corroded. Corrosion is a significant problem because chemical-based industries face major challenges regarding FRP polymers, which can be sorted using glass fibers. However, certain limitations restrict the use of glass fibers, including flexibility and strength. As there is a lack of stiffness, it cannot be used in certain places like airplanes and bridges. 

Glass fibers are non-metallic substances with a wide range of extensive properties, including insulation, high tensile strength, non-combustible nature, etc., making them popular across various fields, including chemical, petroleum, chemical, construction, defense, and aviation.

Market segmentation based on End-User

Based on the end-user analysis, the market is bifurcated into oil & gas, sewage, chemical, irrigation, and others. Sewage accounts for the largest market share in 2021, with a revenue percentage of 40%. The market is expected to expand with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the range of sewage contaminants at different concentrations. The sewage pipelines carrying the wastewater are solid and stiff, retaining different densities, particle sizes, and stiffness. In addition, the recently developed sewage pipes are made with FRP polymers, which solves the problem of corrosion which was the major problem earlier due to metal-based sewage pipes.

The usage of FRP pipes is considered the ideal choice for the treatment of wastewater. This is because its extensive properties can hold the different types and densities of waste materials and water. In addition, extensive features have made FRP pipes widely acceptable for longer than conventional pipes.
