The pipe relining market size is expected to reach US$ 13,093.73 million by 2031 from US$ 9,267.61 million in 2024. The market is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.3% during 2025–2031. The reduction in cost for pipe repairing and maintenance is likely to bring new trends to the market in the coming years.
The pipe relining market broadly constitutes three major stakeholders: equipment or material suppliers, pipe relining service providers, and end users. Raw material and equipment suppliers offer pipe relining equipment and materials to the service providers operating in the pipe relining market. Service providers offer a wide range of standard as well as niche pipe relining services for their end users. End users of pipe relining equipment and services mainly include government water treatment plants, oil and gas companies, municipalities, and residential users. The government authorities are offering renovation funding for improving existing pipelines related to water, water treatment, sewage lines, and oil and gas. The increasing availability of funding is expected to drive the pipe relining market during the forecast period. The growing focus on cost-effective, minimally invasive, and environmentally friendly solutions for pipeline repair technology also has a positive impact on the pipe relining market. Rising collaborations between manufacturers, service providers, regulators, and end users are further anticipated to present major opportunities for the pipe relining market across the world.
Pipe relining plays a crucial role in the trenchless technology industry, which offers innovative solutions for rehabilitating and repairing aging or damaged pipelines without the requirement for extensive excavation. The pipe relining market has gained momentum over the years and is driven by the growing demand for cost-effective, sustainable, and minimally invasive pipeline repair solutions. The scope of pipe relining incorporates repairing sewer pipelines, water mains, drainage systems, and industrial pipelines across municipal, residential, and commercial sectors.
Factors such as a rise in the number of aging pipeline infrastructures, stringent pipeline leakage and damage-related regulations by numerous government organizations, and safety standard regulatory agencies have a profound influence on the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing demand from various end users such as oil and gas, chemicals, municipal, industrial, and water treatment continues to provide steady opportunities, subsequently propelling the pipe relining market growth.
The pipe relining market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by the mounting demand for cost-effective and efficient solutions for pipe repair and renovation. Pipe relining is a trenchless technology that includes the installation of a new pipe liner within an existing pipe without the requirement for extensive excavation or disruption to the surrounding infrastructure. One of the key aspects influencing the growth of the pipe relining market is the expanding demand for oil and gas infrastructure renovation. As global energy demands continue to grow, the oil and gas industry has been facing increased pressure to maintain and upgrade its broad network of pipelines and other critical infrastructure. This has led to a surge in rehabilitation and renovation projects, stimulating the demand for pipe relining solutions.
The oil and gas construction projects in the Middle East & Africa hold the largest share, followed by the US. In 2024, QatarEnergy, the state-owned energy company of Qatar, began comprehensive appraisal activities at its natural gas field. These efforts aim to increase the country's gas reserves and pave the way for expanding its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity to 142 million tons per annum (mtpa) by the end of 2030. In 2024, QatarEnergy was awarded contracts worth US$ 6 billion for operations in the next-phase development of the Gulf state's noteworthy oil field. Project Ru'ya, the third development project for the Al-Shaheen field by a joint venture of QatarEnergy and TotalEnergies SE, targets to fetch over 550 million barrels of oil. The project is predicted to begin production in 2027 with a target of obtaining output from the offshore field of 100,000 barrels per day (bpd). In January 2023, Masirah Oil—a subsidiary of Singapore-headquartered independent Rex International—announced that it had completed an offshore drilling campaign in Oman's Block 50. In October 2023, KCA Deutag, a leading drilling, engineering, and technology partner, announced its first locally-made rig in Oman during a ceremony of Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).
In 2024, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration announced that the US government is planning to award grants totaling US$ 196 million for the repair and replacement of aging natural gas pipelines across 20 states. In April 2023, US Michigan officials approved an investment of US$ 500 million to renovate the protective tunnel of an aging oil pipeline. The oil pipeline runs beneath Michigan, connecting two great lakes. Further, in April 2023, NV5 Global, Inc., a provider of conformity assessment and consulting solutions, was awarded a contract of US$ 16 million for the utility gas pipeline designing and supporting services for the California gas utilities. NV5 Global, Inc. offers engineering design for asset integrity management and gas pipeline improvements to support the reliable and safe delivery of natural gas. In May 2023, US Federal authorities announced funding of ~US$ 196 million with a US$ 1 billion program for repairing and replacing the aging and leaking natural gas pipelines across the country.
As per the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, the length of the operational natural gas pipeline in India has increased from 15,340 km in 2014 to 24,945 km in 2024, a growth rate of 62.6%. Thus, the growing emphasis on expanding oil and gas pipelines and networks propels the pipe relining market growth.
Owing to public safety concerns and the scarcity of clean water in various countries, governments of respective nations are investing heavily in the development of proper sewage infrastructure and wastewater management facilities. There are several benefits of proper sewage systems, such as better quality of life and hygiene conditions, preservation of the natural environment, saving and processing water, economic development, reduction of the risk of damage related to floods, and an improved standard of living. For this, the governments of various economies are investing heavily in developing new sewage infrastructure and upgrading old sewage infrastructure.
For instance, in January 2024, the US state of Massachusetts received more than US$ 260 million for the upgrade of water and sewer infrastructure. The city of Haverhill, in the US, received more than US$ 12.8 million in 2023 for upgrading water and sewer systems. In 2023, Kerala Water Authority and the city corporation initiated a project to utilize Japanese decentralized wastewater treatment plants known as "Johkasou" in the city. In September 2021, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee authorized an investment of US$ 50 billion to be allocated till 2026 for wastewater management, flood control, and other water-related infrastructure. In 2023, the People's Committee of Buon Ho City collaborated with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to plan the enactment of the urban sewage and wastewater treatment system in Buon Ho City. In 2024, the governments of South Africa and Zimbabwe signed an agreement that focused on the successful transfer of purified water from Beitbridge Water Treatment Works to Musina. In 2023, the government of Saudi Arabia announced the plan to invest US$ 14.58 billion in ongoing and planned projects for water transmission, desalinization, strategic reservoirs, and wastewater treatment and an investment of projects. Such initiatives by the governments are expected to impact the pipe relining market positively.
