The trenchless pipe relining market is broadly segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM). Asia Pacific held the largest market share in 2022, followed by North America and Europe. Further, Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in the trenchless pipe relining market from 2022 to 2030.

Asia Pacific is dominating the trenchless pipe relining market share owing to the presence of a vast underground stormwater drains and sewers pipeline infrastructure in the region, which is more than 30 years old. The presence of such an aged infrastructure in the region will require proper rehabilitation for better functioning of the pipes. In 2022, ~3,532 water pipelines were reported to have leaked and broken across SA Water's 27,000-kilometer network. Thus, to cater to these problems, the Government of South Australia and SA Water are continuously investing in the water network to lower leaks and breaks. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), as of 2021, China treats 98.1% of municipalities and 28% of rural areas' water in water treatment plants. In the coming years, China is planning to renovate or build 80,000 km of sewage collection pipeline networks across the country. Thus, the growing government focus on the rehabilitation of the water pipeline network is among the factors contributing to the growing trenchless pipe relining market size.

The global trenchless pipe relining market broadly constitutes three major stakeholders, namely equipment or material suppliers, trenchless pipe relining service providers, and end users. The raw material and equipment suppliers offer trenchless pipe relining services to water treatment plants, oil & gas refineries, and chemical plants. The service providers offer a wide range of standard as well as niche trenchless pipe relining services for their end users. The end users mainly include government water treatment plants, municipalities, and commercial, industrial, 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. Thus, the trenchless pipe relining market size is likely to surge by 2030 owing to such initiatives by the government.

Market Overview:

Trenchless pipe relining, commonly referred to as trenchless pipe rehabilitation, is an innovative methodology used to restore aged and deteriorated pipelines without digging. Trenchless technology is an underground construction method of installing, repairing, and renewing underground pipes, ducts, and cables using techniques that minimize or eliminate the need for excavation. Trenchless projects are less hazardous to workers, as this technology allows processes to be controlled from the surface. Trenchless pipe relining is used in many infrastructure applications, including water, gas, sewer, pipelines, power, and communications. The market analysis on trenchless relining of water and sewer pipes is studied for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.

The continuous advancement of technology resulted in the development of superior equipment and technology-driven solutions for pipe relining. Among these, the cured-in-place pipe relining (CIPP)-based solution type is extensively used over the conventional pipeline repair process. It offers evolutionary advantages in terms of costs, efforts, and efficiency of pipeline repair when compared with traditional methods that involve digging out the damaged pipes. Furthermore, other solution types, such as pull-in-place, pipe bursting, and internal pipe coating, have witnessed notable adoption across different industry verticals over the years.

Rising Number of Aging Pipeline Infrastructure Fuels Trenchless Pipe Relining Market Growth

The pipeline infrastructure across the world is aging day by day. There were over two and a half million miles of pipeline across the US as of 2020, half of which is over fifty years old. The aging pipeline infrastructure can lead to severe consequences, such as regional bottlenecks, supply disruptions due to leaks and maintenance shutdowns, increased potential for environmental damage, as well as safety concerns.

The underground water infrastructure, sewage maintenance, and clean water supply are a few of the key areas in a European infrastructure that are financially neglected. The cities and municipalities are at major risk, and there is a need to find an immediate and cost-effective solution. In addition, as per the Infrastructure Australia report, the country's water and sewage expenses might double by 2040. The aging infrastructure of the country is resulting in additional expenditure for its maintenance. The report estimated that the number of properties supplying water and sewerage might increase by approximately 3 million in the next 20 years.

In December 2021, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the City of Fall River signed an agreement on a five-year plan to reduce and treat combined sewer discharges by fixing the wastewater infrastructure. In addition, in May 2020, Upper Arlington, a city in Ohio, US, awarded Performance Pipelining Inc. a US$ 1 million project to fix pipelines of untreated sewage. The majority of the project involved the installation of linings in existing public and private sanitary sewers across the city. Also, in August 2020, in India, government authorities of Chennai approved the restoration of the city’s waterways project. For the first phase of this project, the government has sanctioned ~US$ 136 million.

With these aging infrastructures, maintaining, repairing, and monitoring these pipelines has become necessary. As a result, there is a growing need to invest in restoring aging infrastructure, which also leads to increased demand for solutions such as trenchless pipe relining. Trenchless pipe relining solutions are gaining traction due to their performance and technical advantages. These solutions repair existing underground pipelines with limited or no excavation while avoiding traffic jams, landscape destruction, and other environmental impacts. Many pipeline operators are increasingly adopting trenchless pipe relining solutions to overcome the problem of aging infrastructure. Thus, the rising number of aging pipeline infrastructure boosts the trenchless pipe relining market growth.

Segmental Analysis:

The trenchless pipe relining market analysis is carried out on the basis of the following segments: method, diameter, end user, and geography. Based on method, the global trenchless pipe relining market is segmented into cured-in-place pipe, pull-in-place, pipe bursting, and internal pipe coating. Among these, the cured-in-place pipe segment held the largest trenchless pipe relining market share in 2022, primarily owing to increasing demand from municipalities for water conservation. According to the America's Water Works Association (AWWA), the cost of repairing and expanding the pipeline for the US drinking water infrastructure is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in the next 25 years. This cost can be reduced with the help of advanced solutions such as cure-in-place pipes and pull-in pipes. In the cured-in-place pipe method, the damaged pipes are not replaced after their use. However, the resins are added to make pipelines better. In North America, the pipelines have been operating for the past ten years, and their life expectancy has also declined, which is causing waste of water every day. Thus, the CIPP method has gained popularity in order to avoid the loss of water through the pipelines. Trenchless pipe relining helps repair broken or damaged pipes without the need to replace sewer lines or trenches wholly. If the damaged sewer lines are under the trees, driveways, sidewalks, near extensive landscaping, or other semi-permanent features, the excavation of the sewer might lead to heavy investments as well as collateral damage to the nearby area. In several cases, the trenchless relining of a pipe is considered a viable alternative for sewer pipe replacement.

In terms of revenue, APAC dominated the share of the market in 2022. North America is the second-largest contributor to the global trenchless pipe relining market, followed by Europe.

A majority of underground water pipes constructed across North America have passed their estimated life span, resulting in severe consequences. According to American Water Works, 44% of water infrastructure in the US is of poor quality. Also, as per the American Society of Civil Engineers' estimation, approximately 240,000 water main breaks occur annually in the region. These failing conditions of the pipes lead to a shortage of clean water, affecting people's health. Thus, the growing aging pipe infrastructure in the region compels governments of various North American countries, such as the US, Canada, and Mexico, to repair and maintain it. To cater to this, governments of these countries are opting for different trenchless pipe relining methods for better functionality of the infrastructure. For instance, in June 2022, the government of Oregon announced that they have used the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method to maintain aging sewer pipes in Medford. For this project, the crew members relined the existing pipes with a felt liner saturated with epoxy, then inflated and cured it. Using this method, the crew members can avoid digging the roads and ensure minimal disruption to residents. Also, through this method, the government was able to provide longer pipe section repairs. Thus, the rising use of trenchless pipe relining to repair pipes is fueling the growth of the market in the region.
