Plastic Pipe & Parts Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Over the past five years, the performance of the Plastic Pipe and Parts Manufacturing industry mirrored the volatile economic conditions in the United States. This industry offers a wide range of plastic pipes and profiling shapes like tubes, rods and car components. Plastic pipes, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, are used to construct new homes, while other plastic profile shapes, like plastic rods and tubes, are used in automobile production. New changes in the manufacturing of plastic pipes have enabled them to handle higher pressures and temperatures, expanding their use in industrial manufacturing, oil and gas and pressurized water supply applications.

Trends and Insights

  • The industry rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic in force. The industry kept its momentum following a boom in 2021 fueled by government stimulus and incentives for downstream markets.
  • Volatile input prices will influence the revenue stream for core products. As the prices of plastic materials and resin increases, production costs will increase, dampening demand from customers.
  • Regions with large population centers will be more attractive industry destinations. Areas with a larger consumer presence will benefit revenue growth for the industry.
  • Heightened internal competition is fueled by diverse customer base. The presence of a wide variety of industry customers enables higher internal competition, particularly among new entrants looking to secure market share.
