Key Highlights of the Market
The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) market is being driven by several key factors, primarily attributed to its diverse applications and advantageous properties.
CPVC is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, resulting in a material with enhanced chemical resistance.
One significant driver of the CPVC market is its widespread use in piping systems for hot and cold water distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride pipes are favored due to their ability to withstand higher temperatures than standard PVC pipes, making them ideal for applications. These applications include water plumbing, industrial processing, and fire sprinkler systems.
The demand for durable, corrosion-resistant piping materials like CPVC is expected to rise as urbanization and infrastructure development continue globally.
CPVC's popularity in the construction industry is bolstered by its ease of installation, low maintenance requirements, and long service life.
Builders and contractors increasingly prefer CPVC materials for plumbing systems due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness over the lifespan of a structure.
CPVC's versatility extends beyond piping, with applications in areas like industrial coatings, electrical conduits, and automotive components, further expanding its market potential.
CPVC's position as a viable alternative continues to strengthen, fostering its adoption across various industries and regions with increasing awareness of environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding material safety and sustainability.
The CPVC market is poised for steady expansion driven by its unique properties, versatile applications, and alignment with sustainability objectives.
South Asia & Pacific is anticipated to remain a key regional market owing to the growing consumption of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride in India, and ASEAN countries.
Sales of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride account for 7% to 9% share of the global market.
The global market for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride witnessed year-over-year growth of around 5.6% in the past few years.
High demand for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride pipe in various applications such as commercial water construction, water treatment, data centers is being witnessed.
High demand for CPVC production sheets and pipes has resulted in higher growth of the market, which will reflect a growth rate of 6.3% CAGR between 2024 and 2033 on a value basis.
The market was significantly impacted by the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020. This crisis significantly affected the demand for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride market from the building and construction industry.
The increasing application of CPVC piping systems for industrial and commercial end use is expected to bolster the growth of the CPVC market over the coming years.
Owing to CPVC’s inherent immunity to corrosion, the fire protection industry is looking toward CPVC sprinkler systems to avoid damages due to obstructions, leaks, and system failures.
Several associations and departments allow the use of CPVC pipes in sprinklers for housing units and other residential and commercial buildings where fires tend to develop slower with heat, including schools, churches, nursing homes, and offices.
Growing adoption of CPVC pipes over metal pipes in fire sprinkler systems is expected to drive market expansion over the coming years.
Growth of Construction Sector
CPVC is widely employed in piping systems within the construction industry because of key features such as durability, thermal insulation properties, and excellent corrosion resistance.
The demand for CPVC pipes for applications including HVAC, fire sprinklers systems and plumbing rises with the increase in construction activities.
These pipes are lightweight and easy to install, which reduces labor costs and installation time for construction projects. This makes them particularly favorable for large-scale construction projects where time efficiency is crucial.
CPVC pipes have a long service life and need minimal maintenance, lessening lifecycle prices for construction projects. This factor makes them popular amid both developers as well as contractors who are looking for sustainable building materials.
Increasing Demand for CPVC
Growing demand for CPVC from end use sectors such as residential, commercial, and industrial for diverse applications is a prominent factor for market growth.
CPVC is a low-cost material with high heat deflection temperature, excellent glass transition temperature, outstanding flame & smoke properties, and chemical inertness.
The properties of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, such as chemical-resistant, flexible, and strong, make it a suitable material for the manufacturing of commercial and industrial grade pipes for liquid distribution in residential areas.
It is also used in commercial and industrial places in several applications such as HVAC, cooling systems, chemical feeds, metal extraction, pre-treatment (softening) of supply water.
CPVC plumbing is being widely employed for the domestic delivery of hot and cold potable water, chemical synthesis & transfer, and drain, waste, and venting pipes owing to growing awareness about the emerging benefits of CPVC.
CPVC Use for Commercial Dry Systems, and Outdoor Settings
CPVC faces certain limitations and restrictions for various applications despite various performance advantages of CPVC, such as outstanding corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and several other safety benefits.
It is not recommended for use in outdoor settings as continued exposure to the sun can adversely impact its strength. It is also not suggested for use in commercial dry systems since it can become brittle when exposed to cold temperatures.
CPVC is designed to safely handle various organic solvents that are soluble in water, such as alcohols, but not recommended with most polar organic materials including certain oils, grease, and surfactants.
It thus results in less adoption of CPVC in drainage or gravity waste systems. However, continuous technological advancements and research and developments to overcome these limitations are expected to offer a positive outlook for the growth of the market in the years ahead.
Multiple Environmental Benefits
Every piping product and material has an impact on the environment. These environmental effects include obtaining the raw materials required to build various types of piping, using energy to produce the piping, and disposing of the material after it is finished.
CPVC offers various environmental benefits over other plastic materials, and thus, will create great opportunities for CPVC manufacturers.
The production process of CPVC requires less energy as compared to other plastic materials and consumes fewer industrial metals.
CPVC also contains less petroleum content and its production uses lesser non-renewable oil reserves as compared to other plastic materials.
Further, CPVC is naturally corrosion-resistant and requires no paints or coating, resulting in the reduction of additional environmental impact.
Extrusion Grade to Record 6.5% CAGR Through 2033
Extrusion grade chlorinated polyvinyl chloride’s market share is expected to be on the higher side over the forecast period.
Extrusion grade CPVC is employed in the manufacturing of long, continuous shapes such as sheets and piping. It is an efficient process for manufacturing sheets and pipes and can be operational until a new product size is made.
The segment is projected to expand at a significant CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.
Further, increasing demand for CPVC pipes for diverse applications is expected to maintain the demand for extrusion grade chlorinated polyvinyl chloride over the coming years.
Pipes & Fittings to Remain the Prominent Segment
Pipes & fittings are a prominent segment with high market attractiveness. This segment is expected to create an incremental dollar opportunity of US$2.79 Bn by the end of 2032.
This can be attributed to the higher use of CPVC pipes & fittings in residential buildings for plumbing applications to deliver hot and cold potable water.
CPVC pipes & fittings are also employed for various industrial and commercial applications, such as chemical processing, commercial plumbing, electrical power production, mineral mining and development, and water & wastewater treatment.
