World Plastic Pipes Market to Reach 7.3 Billion Meters by 2010
In “Plastic Pipes: A Global Strategic Business Report,” it is uncovered that
while the United States remains the largest market for plastic pipe, China,
specifically, is a key market to watch, since it has undertaken infrastructure
overhauls and is experiencing a construction boom.
Plastic pipes are used in drinking water systems, and sewage and drainage
systems, as well as telecommunications and natural gas distribution. In the
report, PVC pipe represented the largest plastic pipe segment, estimated at
about 4 billion meters in 2007. PE pipe was the second largest segment, with
sales expected to reach 2.3 billion meters by 2010.
