PVC-U pipe (rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe) industry standards continue to improve and the market size continues to grow

PVC-U pipe, also known as rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe, refers to pipes made from rigid polyvinyl chloride as raw material, adding appropriate amounts of additives, and undergoing processes such as molding and cooling. Compared with traditional PVC pipes, PVC-U pipes have the advantages of corrosion resistance, lightweight, chemical resistance, and long service life. They are widely used in water conservancy projects, construction projects, power systems, water treatment and other fields.

Rigid polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) is the core raw material of PVC-U pipes. It has the advantages of high tensile strength, low density, oil resistance, water resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in the production of plates and pipes. After years of development, my country’s rigid polyvinyl chloride production technology has continued to improve and has become a major producer and exporter in the world. Siwei Plastics, Hengjian Industrial, Lesso Technology and Tianbao Plastic are the main manufacturers in my country. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials, the development speed of my country’s PVC-U pipe industry will further accelerate.

In recent years, in order to regulate the development of the PVC-U pipe industry, the Chinese government and relevant industry associations have issued numerous industry standards. On October 1, 2022, the industry standard “QB/T 2480-2022 Rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) rainwater pipes and fittings for construction” was officially implemented. In July 2023, the preparation of the national standard “Pressure-bearing rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) pipes and fittings for building drainage” was officially launched. In the future, as industry standards continue to improve, the market share of high-quality PVC-U pipes in my country will further increase.

PVC-U pipe has excellent performance and is widely used in water conservancy projects, construction projects, power systems, water treatment and other fields. In the field of water conservancy engineering, PVC-U pipes can be used in underground fire water supply projects, urban tap water supply projects, and water supply projects for industrial and mining enterprises; in the field of power systems, PVC-U pipes can be used as power cable protection pipes in large cities. It is widely used in the construction and renovation of power grids; in the field of water treatment, PVC-U pipes can be used to discharge sewage. According to the “2023-2028 China PVC-U Pipe (rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe) industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report released by the Industrial Research Center >” shows that in recent years, with the acceleration of my country’s urban infrastructure construction process, the PVC-U pipe market has continued to grow, reaching nearly 40 billion yuan in 2022.

There are many PVC-U pipe manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. AD Co., Ltd., Weixing New Materials, Zhongen Pipe Industry, Yili Clean Energy, Sichuan Meifeng, etc. are the main manufacturers of PVC-U pipes in my country. Weixing New Materials focuses on the manufacturing and sales of various types of medium and high-end new plastic pipes. It has participated in the preparation of a number of PVC-U pipe industry standards and is a representative enterprise of PVC-U pipes in my country.

Industry analysts said that PVC-U pipes have excellent performance and broad application prospects. In the future, with the increasingly strong downstream demand, my country’s PVC-U The development speed of the pipe industry will further accelerate. In recent years, my country’s PVC-U pipe industry standards have been continuously improved, and high quality will become the mainstream development trend of the industry in the future. In terms of market competition, there are many PVC-U pipe manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. In the future, companies with high-quality PVC-U pipe production capabilities will occupy a larger space in the Chinese market.
