The global market for PE-XC Pipe was estimated to be worth US$ 231 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 306 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on PE-XC Pipe cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In 2024, global PE-XC Pipe production reached approximately 274 million meters, with an average global market price of around US$ 0.91 per meter.
PE-Xc, a kind of polymer material pipe fittings, scientifically known as radiation cross-linked polyethylene pipe, is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as the raw material, plus some other auxiliary materials (such as antioxidants, etc.). The pipe (uncross-linked) is extruded in a plastic extruder, and then the extruded uncross-linked pipe is placed on a radiation device (electron accelerator or cobalt-60 irradiation station) to perform radiation cross-linking using high-energy rays (electron beam or Y ray). The polyethylene pipe produced by this method is called radiation cross-linked polyethylene pipe (PEXc pipe).
Thanks to strong demand for PE-Xc pipes in energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and high-performance building piping, the global PE-Xc pipe market is experiencing steady growth.
From a production perspective, the PE-Xc pipe market is undergoing significant changes. The traditional radiation cross-linking model is evolving towards greater flexibility and diversification. While outsourced cross-linking services exist, a growing number of companies are also implementing in-house irradiation production. This flexibility and modularity not only lowers the barrier to entry for the industry but also intensifies market competition, prompting major manufacturers to continuously optimize their production layouts to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Furthermore, as irradiation technology matures and becomes more widespread, more companies are expected to achieve independent control over the entire process, from raw materials to finished pipes, thereby ensuring product quality and supply chain stability.
However, the widespread adoption of PE-Xc pipes still faces certain challenges. First, their price is approximately 20% to 30% higher than that of PE-Xb pipes. This price disadvantage in a cost-sensitive market has limited their rapid penetration. Second, global irradiation production capacity remains insufficient to meet growing market demand. These two factors have slowed the adoption of PE-Xc pipes in certain regions and applications. Despite this, the improvement of the carbon trading market and the promotion of green building material certification have provided new impetus for the market expansion of PE-Xc pipes. Support from green building policies will drive continued growth in demand for high-performance, environmentally friendly materials. PE-Xc pipes, with their superior performance, have the potential to capture the high-end market.
