Plastic Conduit Market Outlook - 2026
The global plastic conduit market size was valued $16.25 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $25.68 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 5.7% during the global plastic conduit forecast. A conduit is referred to as a pipe or passage for fluids or electrical wires to pass through. These pipes enable protection and routing to the materials flowing through these channels. Plastic conduits are widely used across various industry verticals such as construction, manufacturing, telecommunication, and agriculture among others. Recent developments in the manufacturing process of plastic conduits enable them to pass chemicals and other fluids, which would make any other material used to make conduits corrosive.
There is a growing demand for electrical conduits that ensures routing of electric wires all around a building or any premise. An electrical conduit is advantageous since it results in simpler wiring and is safer, permitting easier and frequent alterations in the wiring system, providing protection even in damp and hazardous locations. Moreover, it is an effective way to protect the wiring system from environmental and other conditions such as chemical vapors, electromagnetic interference, moisture, and others.
Segment Overview:
The global plastic conduit market share is analyzed by type, material, industry vertical, and region. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into rigid conduits and flexible conduits.
By Type
Rigid Conduit segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Based on material, it is divided into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and others. On the basis of industry vertical, the market is divided into manufacturing, construction, IT & telecom, healthcare, and others.
By Material
HDPE segment is expected to secure leading position during forecast period.
Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA along with their prominent countries.
By Region
Asia Pacific region would exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.7% during 2019-2026
The type of plastic conduits covered in the study include rigid conduit and flexible conduit. In 2018, the flexible conduit dominated the global plastic conduit market share, in terms of revenue, and is expected to secure a leading position during the global plastic conduit forecast period.
Top Impacting Factors:
The notable factors positively affecting the global plastic conduits market size include growth in demand for highly safe and secure wiring system and rise in demand for commercial construction globally. However, problems regarding high installation cost of conduits system and increase in prices of non-metallic raw materials hamper the market growth. Moreover, emerging trends toward cable-in conduit system and increase in opportunities of plastic conduits in residential buildings offers huge market opportunities for the global plastic conduit market expansion during the forecast years.
Some of the major factors impacting the plastic conduit market growth are as follows:
Growth in demand for highly secure and safe wiring system
The conventional method of wiring system using gas piping led to several issues since it ruined the insulation of wiring through constant frictions between the insulation and rough interior surface of the gas piping, fulling the demand for secure and safer systems in either commercial or residential buildings, which drives the plastic conduit market growth globally.
Rise in commercial construction
With increase in trend of entrepreneurship, the rate of commercial buildings is also booming. Commercial buildings and offices require huge power consumption; thereby, leading to increase in use of non-metallic flexible conduit systems, which are safe and capable of dealing with high power efficiently, which offers lucrative plastic conduit market opportunity.
High installation costs of conduits
High installation costs of optical fiber cables coupled with a complex installation process refrain consumer from utilizing such an efficient technology, which impedes the growth of the market. Due to its high cost, many consumers turn to traditional metal wires, leading to huge loss of data. In addition, fiber optic cables are required to be coated with material to protect it from wear and tear and transmit data without attenuation, which also adds extra costs; thereby, increasing the operating cost.
