Fittings Market is Positioned?
Saudi
Arabia Plastic Pipes and Fittings Market
is at its late growth stage. The market growth has stagnated as the decrease in
oil prices has impacted the demand of plastic pipes and fittings in the country

infrastructural, mining and construction of new house dwellings in the country.
There has been a trend of substituting PVC pipes and fittings by PE pipes and
fittings in potable water distribution applications and by PPR pipes and
fittings in internal plumbing application in the past few years. The water
supply and sewage end use application continues to be the leading end user
application in the market. The market is concentrated with few organized
players dominating the market.

for various industrial uses as it is a more economical option.

followed by CPVC and PVC pipes, PE and others including PPR, ABS and PVDF pipes
in terms of revenue in the Plastic Pipes and Fittings market in Saudi Arabia.

a major market share in terms of revenue in the overall market. This is because

Future Outlook and Projections in the
Saudi Arabia Plastic Pipes and Fittings Market
The
future outlook of the industry is positive because as the oil prices are
expected to recover in the coming years, it will give a boost to the Saudi
Arabia economy and the construction industry would continue to expand with
investments in infrastructure, residential, water and energy projects being the
growth drivers. The plastic pipes and fittings market growth will also be
driven by the country’s Vision 2030, under which the government aims to
diversify the country’s economy away from oil and support economic growth. The
transition in the preference for plastic type is set to reduce the market of
PVC pipes and fittings and consequently increase the market of PE and PPR pipes
by FY’2022 in terms of revenue. It is estimated that water supply and sewage
sector will still contribute the highest share to the revenue of plastic pipes
and fittings in Saudi Arabia as of FY’2022. As PPR and PE pipes and fittings
manufacturers in the country increase their production and are able to satisfy
the local demand, the proportion of imports are expected to fall in terms of
volume.
