Market Dynamics

Introduction

Sprayed-in-place pipe (SIPP) is a rapidly emerging trenchless pipe rehabilitation method that offers a cost-effective means of rehabilitating corroded, leaking, or damaged pipelines. It is a seamless method and can rehabilitate pipes ranging from 4” to 110” in diameter. The lining material used for SIPP has to comply with the certification and standards of NSF/ANSI 61, which has various norms to prevent the contamination of potable drinking water. SIPP is the third-most preferred trenchless technology by the municipal authorities of the USA for rehabilitating deteriorated pipelines.

Various trenchless methods, such as SIPP, CIPP, and Slip lining, are available for rehabilitating damaged pipelines. CIPP is the most preferred method for small-diameter pipes, whereas SIPP is more preferred for pipes with diameters between 18 and 36 inches. SIPP accounted for a double-digit share of the total trenchless pipe rehabilitation market in 2022. CIPP is the most dominant trenchless rehabilitation method, followed by SIPP. Both methods are well established in mature markets and are briskly gaining market traction in developing markets.

Market Drivers

Over the past five years, the SIPP market has tremendously grown with the rise in government expenditures on rehabilitating pipeline infrastructures, coupled with the aging pipeline infrastructures of several major economies worldwide. However, the quick recovery from COVID-19's impact on the market was led by increased government spending on pipeline infrastructure coupled with the growing usage of trenchless technologies in developing economies, which filled voids generated due to the pandemic.

Furthermore, aging pipelines, continuous increases in government spending and awareness of trenchless methods, with a constant shift from conventional dig-and-replace methods to trenchless rehabilitation methods, and incessant efforts by the major players to develop high-performance and cost-effective trenchless methods are likely to propel the market at a healthy pace over the next few years.

Segments Analysis

By Application Type

“The main water pipe is likely to generate most of the demand. It is also the fastest-growing application during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented by application type into water main pipes, wastewater pipes, and storm pipes.
• The main water pipe is likely to generate most of the demand. It is also the fastest-growing application during the forecast period.
• Large infrastructure pipelines of water mains, coupled with the increasing propensity of government waterbodies to rehabilitate deteriorated water main pipelines to conserve the loss of clean drinking water, are likely to be the major demand generators of the market over the next five years.
• The rehabilitation of wastewater and storm pipes is comparatively less regulated; thus, there are a large number of players in this field.

By Material Type

“Cement mortar is most widely used among the mentioned raw material geopolymer coating is gaining faster momentum for the production of sprayed-in place pipe market.”

• The market is segmented by material type into cement mortar, epoxy coating, polyurea coating, polyurethane coating, and geopolymer mortar.
• Cement mortar is the oldest material in the SIPP family. It has been used since the 1920s for the rehabilitation of pipelines, and hence, it dominates the market.
• Cement mortar offers key benefits compared to other materials, including longer service life, low cost, excellent corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and excellent structural strength.

By Diameter Type

“18-36-inch diameter pipes are most widely used, constituting over 50% of the market. Pipes with diameter <18-inch are estimated to grow fastest in the mentioned period.”

• Municipal water and sewer systems for small-diameter pipes (<18 inches) mostly use residential and urban distribution. These small pipes represent a large segment of existing infrastructure.
• The growth of this subsegment is propelled by a wide variety of pipes falling within this pipe diameter range. Many factors depend on the diameter of the pipe, such as the selection of equipment and the quantity of material to be used.
• SIPP is among the most preferred trenchless methods for rehabilitating 18-36-inch diameter pipes.

Regional Analysis

“North America is projected to remain the largest market for SIPP whereas Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.”

• Aging pipeline infrastructures, coupled with an increasing focus on government utilities to control water main break rates, are the key demand generators of the region’s market.
• The USA is not only the largest market for SIPP in North America but also in the world. The country is the early mover in trenchless pipe rehabilitation concerning material adoption and technology.
