“Major
projects have been undertaken by the Government of South Africa for improving
the irrigation and sanitation facilities which have majorly contributed to the
demand for plastic pipes and fittings in country.”
Focus towards high quality products: SAPPMA
i.e. the Southern African Plastic Pipe Manufacturers Association’s have majorly
shifted their focus towards creating consumer confidence within the plastic
pipes and fittings industry and to further promote the production as well as
the usage of high quality plastic pipes and pipes systems. Additionally,
manufacturers were encouraged to follow the strict rules and quality standards
laid down by the association. For instance, manufacturers are allowed to
display their logo on their pipes, therefore clearly differentiating quality
pipes from substandard production. SAPPMA is voluntary, non-profit organization
that represents almost 90.0% of all certified manufacturers of HDPE and PVC
plastic pipes being made in Southern Africa.
Acceptance of large diameter plastic pipes:
Plastic pipes and fittings market within South Africa is further benefiting
from the growing acceptance of large diameter plastic pipes towards
infrastructure applications such as drainage, sewer and water transmission.
Water distribution and sewage disposal in particular are 2 areas where a
growing demand for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipes was observed.
End User Applications: The South African
plastic pipes market is well-developed throughout the plastics value chain and
caters to both local demand and export markets. Generally, the leading end
users for plastic pipes are packaging, building, construction, mining,
agriculture and the automotive industry. These industries have struggled to
adjust to changes in the market due to a downturn in demand, rising tide of
imports and competition from advanced developing countries. Also, cheap imports
of relatively low value-added products are causing some regions of the South
Africa’s plastics industry to restructure. As a result of which, a number of
companies have relocated their manufacturing facilities to low-cost production
sites.
Analysts at Ken Research in their latest
publication “South
Africa Plastic Pipes and Fittings Market Outlook to 2023 - By PVC – UPVC, MPVC,
CPVC, HDPE, and O-PVC; By End User Application (Infrastructure, Bulk Water,
Irrigation, Mining and Others); By Organized and Unorganized Segment” believe that the industry has a huge
potential to grow if the government spending on infrastructure is increased,
aging infrastructure is replaced, investment is made in latest technologies to
manufacture quality products and within emerging segments of plastic pipes and
fittings such as O-PVC. The market is expected to record a forecasted CAGR of
4.8% during the outlook period 2019-2023.
