  Growing investment in the power-generating industry is driving the market growth

  
  

The rising investment in the power-generating industry is driving the market CAGR for GRE Pipes. Because of their practical resilience in corrosive and hostile environments, glass-reinforced epoxy pipes, also known as GRE pipes, are frequently utilized as a substitute for stainless steel pipes. GRE pipes are made using the discontinuous winding of filament technology, which involves processing fiberglass filaments and amine-cured resins made of epoxy in discontinuous winding equipment. These pipes are frequently utilized for offshore purposes such as brine shipping, water dredging, and transporting Gas because of their light qualities and good chemical resistance.

Additionally, they are utilized in drinking water transfer, power plants and chemical plant pipes, and other purposes. Other industrial uses include sewers for sanitation, emergency lines, gas transportation, injecting water & tubing, and casing. Proliferating needs in end-use sectors such as petrochemical and oil refineries, maritime, mineral extraction, and hydropower facilities are likely to drive market expansion. Increased industrial production in developing nations is expected to support market expansion in the future years. GRE pipes have a high safety factor, are resistant to high pressure, and have outstanding hydraulic effectiveness, allowing them to be used in various pipelines in diverse sectors. Other elements boosting its popularity include its monetary benefits, such as extended lifespan and almost little post-installation service.

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the GRE pipe industry. The COVID-19 epidemic caused a drop in income and sales in the market. However, with the slow opening of enterprises, the GRE market is predicted to revive stepwise during the forecast timeframe. Manufacturers worldwide. The market is employing innovative business strategies to remain financially viable in the industry. The increasing usage of these pipes across multiple end-use sectors provides value-added possibilities for industry participants worldwide.

For instance, according to NITI AYOG, wastewater treatment facilities in India were worth USD 2.4 billion in 2019 and are predicted to be worth USD 4.3 billion by 2025. The rise in the municipality and wastewater treatment facilities due to increased water shortage drives the nation's GRE pipe market. Thus, it is anticipated that demand for GRE Pipes will increase during the projection period due to the rising investment in the power-generating industry. Thus, driving the GRE Pipes market revenue.

AMD announced the Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card for 2023 at today's ChinaJoy event. Contrary to popular belief, the new 'Golden Rabbit Edition' 16GB RDNA 3 GPU will be available worldwide, not just in China.

Wärtsilä, a technological business, and Danish ship operator A.P. Moller - Maersk collaborated in 2022 to develop a method for reducing corrosion in scrubber discharge pipes. The permanent in-pipe solution is intended to address the corrosion issues associated with open-loop scrubber washwater output. The majority of the estimated 5,000 scrubber systems in the global fleet are open-loop configurations. With this method, seawater is utilized to scrub SOx from the exhaust gas, and the spent water is subsequently dumped back into the sea after cleaning.

GRE Pipes Market Segment Insights

GRE Pipes Application Insights

The GRE Pipes market segmentation, based on Application, includes Gas Transportation, Fire-Fitting, Sewage Disposal Lines, Acid Transportation, Offshore, and Others. Gas transportation segment dominated the market, accounting for 42% of market revenue (USD 1.5 billion) in 2022. Category growth is driven by rising demand from the energy sector; GRE pipes are seeing significant expansion in gas transportation operations.
