A fiberglass pipe refers to a pipe made from a composite material such as glass fiber-reinforced plastic, which consists of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. It includes aggregates, granules, platelet fillers, thixotropic agents, and pigments or dyes. Since it is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, it is used in several industries for water and natural gas transportation.
The main types of fiberglass pipes are glass-reinforced plastic, glass-reinforced epoxy, and other types. Glass-reinforced plastic is made of synthetic resin as the main basic material and glass fiber or other products as reinforced material, processed into a solid material by molding and setting. The various fibers involved are t-glass, e-glass, and other fibers that are used for applications in oil and gas, chemicals, sewage, irrigation, and other end uses.
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.
Tariffs are impacting the fiberglass pipes market by increasing costs of imported glass fibers, resins, additives, and pipe manufacturing equipment. Infrastructure projects in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported composite materials, while Asia-Pacific faces higher export costs. These tariffs are raising pipeline installation costs and delaying large-scale projects. However, they are also encouraging domestic pipe manufacturing, regional material sourcing, and innovation in locally produced fiberglass pipe systems.
The fiberglass pipes market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides fiberglass pipes market statistics, including fiberglass pipes industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a fiberglass pipes market share, detailed fiberglass pipes market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the fiberglass pipes industry. This fiberglass pipes market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The fiberglass pipes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.57 billion in 2025 to $5.98 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of water distribution networks, growth in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure, replacement of aging metal pipelines, increasing irrigation infrastructure development, availability of composite pipe manufacturing technologies.
The fiberglass pipes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in water and wastewater infrastructure, rising demand for corrosion-free pipelines, expansion of oil and gas transport projects, growing adoption of fiberglass pipes in irrigation systems, increasing focus on lifecycle cost efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of corrosion-resistant pipeline systems, increasing demand for lightweight pipe infrastructure, growing use of fiberglass pipes in water transport, expansion of high-pressure gre pipe applications, enhanced focus on long-term durability and low maintenance.
The increasing level of exploration activities in the oil and gas sector is expected to drive the growth of the fiberglass pipes market going forward. Exploration activities in the oil and gas industry involve the methods and processes used to identify potential locations for drilling and resource extraction. To sustain production levels, oil companies rely heavily on water injection, which leads to higher flow rates and increased injection pressures, often causing corrosion and erosion in conventional piping systems. Fiberglass pipes are used in such conditions because of their non-corrosive nature and ability to withstand high pressures. In addition to serving as durable casings for oil, gas, water, and chemical wells, fiberglass pipes are also widely used in downhole applications, including the injection of water, CO2, waste materials, and in production lines. For instance, in November 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, global oil demand was projected to increase by 1.5 million barrels per day in 2024, reaching approximately 102.4 million barrels per day. Therefore, rising exploration activities in the oil and gas sector are contributing to the growth of the fiberglass pipes market.
The growth in infrastructure development is also expected to propel the fiberglass pipes market going forward. Fiberglass pipes are increasingly preferred in construction and infrastructure projects due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and suitability for a wide range of applications. Demand for these pipes is particularly strong in water and sewer networks, chemical processing facilities, oil and gas infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Factors such as long-term cost efficiency, supportive government initiatives, globalization, rapid urbanization, strict environmental regulations, and continuous technological advancements are further encouraging the adoption of fiberglass pipes in modern infrastructure development. For example, in July 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, total investment in the infrastructure sector reached $18.0 billion (£13.8 billion) in constant prices in 2023, representing a 3.9% increase compared to 2022. Additionally, the estimated net stock of infrastructure assets in the market sector stood at $456.9 billion (£350.2 billion) in constant prices in 2023, reflecting a 0.3% increase from the previous year. Therefore, expanding infrastructure development is supporting the growth of the fiberglass pipes market.
