Market Definition
Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a complex material which is consisting of plastic reinforced with fine glass fibers. These fibers may be flattened as a sheet, arranged randomly, or woven to make a fabric-like material. A plastic resin is then covered onto the glass fibers to produce combined uniform material. This resin may contain polyester, epoxy, vinyl ester, polypropylene, or polyurethane. The glass fibers in GRP have mechanical properties which are roughly comparable to another types of fibers, for instance, carbon fiber. However, glass fibers are more flexible, cheaper, and lighter than their carbon counterpart, making them an ideal reinforcing agent for various polymer products.
Global GRP Pipes Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rise in demand for wastewater treatment
The wastewater treatment application will constitute over 21% of the global intake during the forecast. Raw water or Processed has great demand in numerous applications, including washing, processing, and cooling in manufacturing industries such as automotive, chemical, pulp and paper, metal and mining, pharmaceuticals, power, oil and gas, and textiles. The increasing water contamination due to industrial activities, along with freshwater shortage in developing areas, has led to strict government rules on water reuse and recycling projects. These factors will be the significantly driving GRP piping in wastewater treatment facilities.
- Rise in demand due to the adoption of epoxy resins
Epoxy GRP pipes have larger properties, such as resistance to abrasion and corrosion, low friction, high insulation, etc., that make them the ideal choice in the oil and gas region as they increase the flow capacity of resources. The cross-linked structure makes epoxy-based piping significantly robust compared to ensuring its impact resistance and thermostability.
- Rising Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production
Glass reinforced plastics piping systems are working in the oil and gas industry for offshore platform piping systems, gas transmission lines, subsea piping systems, floating production storage, injection lines for gas and water, crude oil transmission, flow lines, exploration, and refinery piping systems. The increasing hydrocarbon production and exploration activities are anticipated to drive the demand during the forecast period.
Opportunities
- Economic sustainability
The durability and long lifetime of GRP products, for instance, fittings, prove, and Amiable pipes useful with respect to business budgets: GRP products make money and save time in that they do not need any on-site welding work or heavy lifting gear, feature and generally long maintenance-free service life which will act as market drivers and further increase beneficial opportunities for the market's growth rate.
Restraints/Challenges
- Fluctuation in Price
However, fluctuation in the cost of raw materials which causes a variation in the rates for end-product. This aspect is anticipated to hamper the growth of the GRP piping systems market during the forecast period. Moreover, the use of GRP plastic is also held back owing to health related issues. Filament and Centrifugal casting winding are the best common methods which used in GRP pipe manufacturing. In centrifugal casting, the exterior diameter of the pipe is constant and produces high-quality products. Furthermore, this process is not so lucrative. Thus it is anticipated to restrain the market growth.
