Plastic lined piping refers to an industrial piping system in which a thermoplastic layer is bonded to the inner surface of metal pipes, typically made of carbon steel or stainless steel. This design combines the mechanical strength of metal with the corrosion and chemical resistance of plastic. It is commonly used in industries that handle aggressive chemicals, high-purity fluids, or corrosive environments.
The primary types of plastic lined piping include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene. PVC is a durable and versatile plastic commonly used in pipes, construction materials, and electrical cable insulation. Its configurations include rigid and flexible piping, available in various diameters such as small (less than 2 inches) and medium (2 to 6 inches). These pipes are applied in corrosive fluid transport and heat transfer systems, with key end-use industries being chemicals and oil and gas.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.
The plastic lined piping market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides plastic lined piping market statistics, including the plastic lined piping industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the plastic lined piping market share, detailed plastic lined piping market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the plastic lined piping industry. This plastic lined piping market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The plastic lined piping market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.08 billion in 2024 to $3.30 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand in chemical processing, increasing requirements for corrosion resistance, expanding water treatment infrastructure, growth in oil and gas exploration, and the increasing adoption of industrial automation.
The plastic lined piping market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing focus on sustainability, rising demand for high-purity fluid transport, growth in pharmaceutical manufacturing, expansion of the semiconductor industry, and increased investment in infrastructure projects. Key trends during this period include advancements in lining technologies, greater use of composite materials, innovations in pipe jointing methods, development of advanced leak detection systems, and the growing adoption of fluoropolymer linings.
The increasing investment in infrastructure development is expected to drive the growth of the plastic lined piping market in the coming years. Infrastructure development involves the construction and improvement of essential systems such as transportation, energy, water, and communication networks. This growth is supported by rising government funding aimed at boosting economic growth and enhancing public services through modernized facilities. Increased infrastructure investment fuels demand for plastic lined piping by encouraging construction and industrial projects that require durable, corrosion-resistant piping solutions. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that infrastructure investment in 2023 reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion) at constant prices, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. Therefore, rising investment in infrastructure development is propelling the growth of the plastic lined piping market.
The expansion of the oil and gas sectors is expected to drive the growth of the plastic lined piping market in the coming years. These sectors encompass industries involved in the extraction, processing, and conversion of hydrocarbons into fuels, chemicals, and materials. Growth in the oil and gas industries is driven by rising global energy demand, which increases the need for fuels, chemicals, and industrial materials. Plastic-lined piping supports these sectors by offering superior corrosion resistance, thereby extending the lifespan of piping systems used to transport aggressive chemicals and hydrocarbons. For example, in December 2025, the US Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that oil production increased from 12.2 million barrels per day in December 2022 to 13.3 million barrels per day, while natural gas output reached 128.8 billion cubic feet per day in December 2023. Therefore, the growth of the oil and gas sectors is fueling the expansion of the plastic lined piping market.
The increasing industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the plastic lined piping market going forward. Industrialization refers to the large-scale development of industries, shifting an economy from agrarian-based to manufacturing-based. This growth is fueled by technological innovations that enhance manufacturing efficiency, resulting in higher production capacity and economic expansion. Plastic lined piping supports industrialization by offering durable, corrosion-resistant solutions that extend infrastructure lifespan and reduce maintenance costs in manufacturing processes. For example, in June 2025, Trading Economics, a US-based provider of economic indicators, reported that industrial production grew 0.7% year-on-year, matching the revised 0.7% increase recorded in May. Therefore, the rising industrialization is propelling the growth of the plastic lined piping market.
