FRP Pipe Market Poised for Strong Growth Through 2035, Driven by Corrosion-Resistant Infrastructure Demand and Expanding Industrial Applications

Dublin, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "FRP Pipe Market Size, Trend, company, Opportunity Analysis and Forecast 2026-2035" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global FRP Pipe Market Poised to Reach USD 8.76 Billion by 2035

The global fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) pipe market is undergoing significant growth as industrial, energy, and municipal infrastructure operators prioritize corrosion resistance, sustainability, and lifecycle cost efficiency. Valued at USD 4.56 billion in 2025, the market is projected to reach USD 8.76 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.75% during the forecast period.

FRP pipes are gaining market share as alternatives to steel, concrete, and conventional plastic piping in corrosive and high-stress environments. Advances in composite materials and manufacturing processes have improved system durability, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended operational lifespans. These advantages are accelerating adoption across oil and gas, water and wastewater, chemical processing, power generation, desalination, and other infrastructure applications.

FRP Pipe Market Growth Drivers

Demand is being supported by the need for reliable piping systems in facilities exposed to corrosive fluids, harsh chemicals, scaling, and demanding mechanical conditions. Oil and gas operations, offshore installations, chemical plants, wastewater facilities, and power generation assets are increasingly deploying FRP piping to mitigate deterioration and reduce maintenance-related disruptions.

The oil and gas segment represents approximately 42% of total market demand. Corrosion-related economic losses are estimated at USD 2.5 trillion annually worldwide, strengthening the business case for composite piping in upstream and midstream operations. Industrial end users account for an estimated 52% market share, driven by continued investment in desalination, chemical processing, and power generation facilities.

Sustainability Creates New Market Opportunities

Environmental performance is becoming an important factor in infrastructure procurement. FRP pipe manufacturers are investing in low-carbon production, material efficiency, and improved lifecycle performance to meet regulatory requirements and corporate sustainability targets. This trend is creating opportunities in water, wastewater, energy, and municipal projects where lifecycle emissions and environmental credentials influence supplier selection.

Amiblu has strengthened its position in Europe by emphasizing sustainable infrastructure solutions. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company continues to benefit from regional investment in water, energy, and industrial development. Future Pipe Industries expanded its project portfolio in January 2025 after securing a contract to supply Wavistrong glass-reinforced epoxy pipes for 520 recovery wells in Dubai, demonstrating sustained energy-sector demand.

Market Challenges

Higher initial costs remain a key obstacle to wider FRP pipe adoption. Composite manufacturing, engineering requirements, and specialized installation can result in greater upfront expenditure than some PVC or steel systems. This cost difference may limit adoption in projects governed by short-term capital constraints, despite the potential for lower maintenance expenses, fewer replacements, and improved long-term operating performance.

Market Segmentation Highlights

Polyester resin-based glass-reinforced plastic pipes hold the largest material share because of their balance of cost, corrosion resistance, and durability, particularly in water and wastewater infrastructure. Bell-and-Spigot connections account for approximately 52.50% of the market, supported by their use in continuous filament-wound pipes and long-distance transmission systems.

Key FRP pipe market segments include:

• By material: Polyester, polyurethane, epoxy, vinyl ester, and other composite systems
• By application: Oil and gas, water and wastewater, chemical processing, power generation, industrial, and municipal infrastructure
• By end user: Industrial, commercial, residential, and other users
• By connection type: Bell-and-Spigot, Butt-and-Strap, and Socket-and-Spigot
• By region: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America

North America Leads the Global FRP Pipe Market

North America accounts for approximately 41% of global market revenue. Regional growth is driven by aging infrastructure, oil and gas production, and increasing volumes of produced water. The United States maintained oil output above 13 million barrels per day in 2024, creating substantial demand for piping systems capable of transporting corrosive produced water.

Operators are deploying FRP systems, including Fiberspar and Star product lines, to improve performance under aggressive chemical and mechanical conditions. Continued infrastructure renewal and energy-sector investment are expected to support North America's leading position throughout the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The FRP pipe market is influenced by vertically integrated manufacturers with composite production, engineering, installation, and global project execution capabilities. Their ability to deliver large infrastructure programs and customized systems supports competition for high-value contracts.

Prominent market participants include Amitech Germany GmbH, Augusta Fiberglass, Enduro Composites, Ershigs Inc., Fibrex Fiberglass Pipe, FRP Systems, Future Pipe Industries, Graphite India Limited, Hanwei Energy Services Corp., Hengrun Group Co. Ltd., HOBAS, Industrial Plastic Systems, Lianyungang Zhongfu Lianzhong Composites Group Co. Ltd., National Oilwell Varco, NOV Inc., Plasticon Composites, Sarplast, Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co., Shawcor Ltd., and ZCL Composites Inc.

With infrastructure owners focusing on corrosion control, sustainability, and total lifecycle costs, the global FRP pipe market is positioned for sustained expansion through 2035. Innovation in materials, manufacturing, joint systems, and low-carbon production will remain central to future growth and competitive differentiation.
