Diverse investments are being made in water projects to upgrade rural infrastructure, make it simple for rural regions to get water, and enhance wastewater treatment. For instance, the United States Department of Agriculture reports that in 2021, the U.S. government committed US$307 million to upgrade the rural infrastructure for 250,000 people and businesses by upgrading obsolete pipes and service lines in 34 states and Puerto Rico. Additionally, according to the European Investment Bank, the bank would spend US$12 million on Kosovo's wastewater treatment in 2020, giving more than 90 000 people better and more reasonably priced access to water and wastewater services. Additionally, the Government of Planning and Economic Development in Egypt reports that in December 2021, the ministry granted US$27 million for tying rural homes to wastewater networks. Due to this rise in investments, ductile iron pipes will be used more frequently for distributing portable water and in sewage treatment facilities. The market CAGR for ductile iron pipes will rise as a result.
Desalination facilities are where salt water is transformed into drinkable water. Such plants are quite strong in Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Qatar. Due to the rising demand for drinkable water, more desalination facilities have been built in gulf nations. For instance, the Salt Water Conversion Corporation claims that the Shuqaiq IWP desalination plant, which would generate 450,000 cubic meters of potable water per day and serve 200,000 people, will be finished in 2022. Additionally, it finished building the Yanbu desalination plant in 2020, which would provide 1.8 million people in Madinah and the industrial city of Yanbu with 550,000 m3/d of water.
Additionally, Abengoa Agua finished building Salah Desalination Plant in 2020. This facility has a capacity of 113,500 m3/d. Due to the growing number of desalination plant developments, ductile iron pipes will be used increasingly frequently to supply people with drinkable water. The ductile iron pipes market revenue will increase as a result.
Growing infrastructure and smart city development initiatives support consumer demand. Moreover, governments are launching water & wastewater management projects due to the fast economic expansion and mounting demand to enhance the sanitation in metropolitan areas. Diverse industrial application fields are also anticipated to provide market potential. Some of the ductile iron pipes market trends presenting sizable potential prospects are the rapidly expanding awareness for clean and safe drinking water, accelerating technical advancements, and better wastewater management solutions & manufacturing practices. In addition, strict government guidelines for wastewater management and agricultural irrigation present a wealth of prospects for suppliers of ductile iron pipes.
In contrast, the fabrication of ductile iron pipes requires raw resources, and price instability and the supply-demand imbalance in those markets are significant barriers to industry expansion. The expansion of the market needs to be improved by the significant expenditures to set up wastewater treatment and pipe production facilities. Although many areas are increasing their expenditures on earthquake-resistant pipes, this will support market expansion for the evaluation period. Ductile iron pipes are resistant to earthquakes; they can bend but do not break during quakes, maintaining a steady flow of water.
Based on Diameter, the Ductile Iron Pipes market segmentation includes D.N. 80-300, DN 350-600, DN 700-1000, DN 1200-2000, DN2000 & above. DN 700-1000 share the highest market growth during the forecast period 2022. Sewage applications often use pipes between DN 700 and DN 1000. Due to its interior high-alumina cement mortar lining, these pipes can withstand operating conditions that vary from strongly alkaline to severely acidic. DIPs are also used to transport potable water from dams to urban areas. To prevent corrosion, DIPs are usually internally coated. DIP is also used excessively in the mining sector. By the end of the forecast period, it is predicted that the worldwide potable water transportation market segment will have the most market share.
