Project Introduction Pipe

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a widely used plastic polymer that is the third most produced globally. PVC is often used to make pipes due to its durability, corrosion resistance, light weight, and low cost. It has a variety of applications in construction, infrastructure, and industry. The global PVC pipe market is growing steadily as it replaces traditional materials like iron and concrete. Major importers and exporters of PVC pipes include the United States, France, Germany, Mexico, and Canada. Within India, PVC has also become popular for its affordable price compared to other piping materials.

Introduction :-

Introduction of PVC:PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. Also called vinyl is a thermoplastic polymer. Polyvinylchloride is the third most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)with a global consumption of approximately 22 million tons per annum with annual growth of 6%. Its production is expected to increase 40 million tons by 2016. Benefits of PVC:The most common use of polyvinylchloride (PVC) is to make pipes.PVC is used for producing high quality leakage free pipelines for conveying water, sewerage or effluent, insulating material for electric cables. Following are some advantages of these pipes: No deposits arise like cast iron due to its low friction and smooth surface. PVC pipes are self- extinguishing and do not support combustion. PVC pipes are highly resistant to mineral acids, alkalis and aqueous Salt solutions. PVC pipes system fulfills the need of a residential, commercial and Industrial sector. PVC pipes are light weight and only one fifth of the cast iron pipe. PVC pipes are long life than the cost iron pipes. PVC pipes are insect proof and mice proof. Different Properties of PVC: Thermoplastic Lightweight, toughness and durability Low thermal conductivity Good insulation properties Variety of Colors Corrosion and abrasion resistance Weather ability Fire retardant properties

Competitive Edge of PVC:


PVC is a versatile material for piping and has replaced conventional pipes made from conventional materials such as Galvanized Iron (GI), Cast Iron, Asbestos Cement and Concrete Cement. Its compatibility with most fluids, lower cost of material handling and installation, unique combination of properties and availability of highly reliable jointing system makes it an excellent competitor in the piping world. Vinyls low cost, versatility, unique set of properties and performance makes it the material of choice for dozens of industries such as health care, communications, aerospace, automotive, retailing, textiles and construction.

Market of PVC:

o Global Market Scenario o National Market Scenario Global Market Scenario:


PVC is widely accepted overall in the world due to its greater advantages. As according to a survey mostly people are price sensitive, so as of its low price, long time performance and durability as compared to other alternatives available in the market it is appreciated widely. PVC pipes are being by the larger industries like textile industry, automotive manufacturing, construction industry and other industries. Over the past few years the market for PVC is on a steady rise. Another reason that why it is been widely accepted in the market is because of its increase penetration of insulation of cables and electrical conduit pipes. However the major industries that are being focused and served more by the PVC pipesindustries are construction and building industries. In the global market PVC pipes and fittings constitute the largest volume application at 50% of the marketplace. Worldwide demand for these pipes is forecasted to increase more than four percent per year. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) takes the lion's share at around 67% of the global market. Polyethylene (PE) has 20.5%, while polypropylene (PP) takes about 12.5%. The consumption of the PVC pipes is been gradually increasing in the all over the World. In Europe, 5.5million tons of PVC was used in 2007 to make pipes. Similarly in case of USA pipe demand is projected to grow 2.5% annually to 15.5 billion feet in 2007. Its demand is increasing day by day and its seen that every year there is an increase in demand of PVC. The organizations that are manufacturing the PVC pipes in overall the world are automotive.
Imports of PVC:

As the demand of PVC pipes is growing so countries started to import it from other countries for the fulfillment of need in their country. So if an organization that is manufacturing the PVC pipes must look for the opportunities in the global market and by providing the better quality pipes may got a lot of revenues from the exports. France, USA and Mexico have been the top importers of PVC pipes over the past 5 years contributing to approximately 35% of world imports.

Exports of PVC:
USA, Germany and Canada are the top three exporters of PVC pipes in the last five years contributing to 32% of world exports. The company having potential of going global may select these countries for exporting their pipes.

National Market Scenario:


There are different types of materials used for piping in India such as Asbestos Cement (AC),Mild Steel (MS), Galvanized Iron (GI), Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), Cast Iron (CI), Reinforced Concrete Cement (RCC) and Ductile Iron (DI). Majority of piping applications used in India range from 0.5 to 18 diameter sizes. In our country it is also being widely used, according to a survey 75% people of India are price conscious and due to the low cost of these PVC pipes, people are now attracting towards the substitute of GI and concrete cement that is PVC pipe. Here these pipes are used in following areas: Water drainage and sewerage of a building Disposal of industrial sewerage Agriculture irrigation Water drainage of civil engineering & roads drop down Swimming pools Conduits
