Dublin, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Piping Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026-2035” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Global Glass Reinforced Plastic Piping Market was valued at USD 6.6 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach USD 10.5 billion by 2035.
Market growth is driven by the rising adoption of GRP piping across industries that demand highly corrosion-resistant, durable, and low-maintenance materials. Sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, and water management are increasingly using GRP due to its longer service life, chemical resistance, and lower operational costs compared to traditional steel or concrete systems. GRP piping also offers resilience under extreme environmental conditions while minimizing lifecycle costs, making it an attractive choice for industries seeking sustainable and durable infrastructure solutions.
Rapid urbanization and expanding municipal infrastructure, particularly in developing regions, are fueling demand for GRP pipes in water distribution, sewage management, and irrigation networks. The material’s performance stability over time, combined with its sustainability benefits, is encouraging governments and private enterprises to adopt GRP solutions for long-term reliability.
The polyester-based GRP pipes segment accounted for USD 2.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% through 2035. These pipes are favored for their excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for water, sewage, irrigation, and industrial chemical applications. Polyester variants are cost-effective compared to epoxy and vinyl ester alternatives, driving their adoption in large-scale municipal and infrastructure projects, particularly in cost-sensitive markets seeking both reliability and efficiency.
The oil & gas segment held a 27.6% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2026-2035. GRP pipes provide long service life, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance requirements, making them suitable for flowlines, water injection systems, produced water handling, and refinery operations. As companies expand exploration, replace aging infrastructure, and seek operational efficiency, the demand for GRP solutions that reduce downtime and total lifecycle costs continues to rise.
North America Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Piping Market was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2025. Widespread aging pipelines in the U.S. require replacement with materials that provide longevity, corrosion resistance, and lower maintenance costs, positioning GRP pipes as a preferred solution. Increased investments across oil and gas, chemical processing, and renewable energy sectors are boosting demand for piping technologies that withstand harsh conditions while supporting sustainable operations. Regulatory focus on environmental compliance and efficiency further accelerates the adoption of eco-friendly GRP materials.
Key players in the Global Glass Reinforced Plastic Piping Market include Enduro Composites, Future Pipe Industries, Smithline Reinforced Composites, Veplas d.d., Industrial Plastic Systems, Plasticon Composites, Composite Pipes Industry, Dubai Pipes Factory, Graphite India Limited, Sarplast, HOBAS, Hanwei Energy Services Corp., Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company, and Fibrex. Companies in the Glass Reinforced Plastic Piping Market are pursuing multiple strategies to strengthen their foothold. They are investing in R&D to develop high-performance, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight pipes suitable for extreme conditions and specialized applications.
Strategic partnerships with municipal authorities, industrial clients, and engineering firms allow for early adoption and integration of advanced piping systems. Expanding manufacturing capabilities and localizing production help reduce lead times and logistical costs while meeting regional demand. Firms are also emphasizing sustainable and eco-friendly materials to align with regulatory standards and environmental goals.
