The pipeline relining technologies and solutions are gaining popularity among various sectors in several economies to avoid the excavation of entire pipe. The exponential increase in population across countries is expected to put the municipal infrastructure to be at risk in the future. Cured-in-place, pull-in-place, pipe busting, and internal pipe coating are among the pipeline relining technologies available in the market. These technologies or pipe renovation solutions offer long-term sustainability to the sewage pipelines. However, the cost of these solutions is high at present. Pertaining to the high price of these solutions types, various governments in developed and developing countries are limiting the procurement of these systems. The reduction in the cost of the pipeline relining solutions would strengthen the adoption of the technologies, which would drive the growth of the market in the coming years. Besides, organizations are continually educating the latest innovations in sewage pipeline renovation methods, thereby fueling the awareness among the mass. Thus, the aging of municipal infrastructures and rise in awareness among the governments, municipalities, and common mass push the market players to reduce their cost of operation and increase the installation of pipeline relining solutions. This factor is anticipated to fuel the market expansion in the coming years.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA pipe relining market in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
The MEA pipe relining market is segmented based on solution type, end user and country. Based on the solution type, the solutions considered are cured-in-place pipe, pull-in-place, pipe bursting, and internal pipe coating. The cured-in-place pipe segment dominated the market in 2020 and is expected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period. Moreover, the cured-in-place pipe is further bifurcated into liner or longer repairs and patch or spot repair. Whereas, by end user, the market is broadly divided into oil & gas, chemical, municipal, and others. The oil & gas segment dominated the market in 2020 and chemical segment is expected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period. Based on country, the MEA pipe relining market is segmented into Saudi Arabia, the UAE, South Africa, and the rest of the MEA. Aegion Corporation, Nu Flow Corporate, Perma-Liner Industries LLC, Pipe Restoration Solutions, and Roto-Rooter are among the leading companies in the market.
