Published

on

The Global Water and Wastewater Pipes Market is critical to water supply, wastewater, and wastewater management and is driven by urbanization, industrial growth, and increasing infrastructure needs. The market is dominated by durable plastic pipes serving the municipal, industrial, and agricultural sectors

BOSTON, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “According to the latest BCC Research study, the demand for Global Water and Wastewater Pipes Market will reach $37.1 billion by 2028, and the growth rate is 7.5% for the forecast period 2023-2028.

The global water and wastewater pipes market is segmented by material (plastic, metal, and others), application (water supply and wastewater management), and end use (municipal and industrial). It excludes pipes for industrial wastewater management and agricultural purposes. The market is analyzed across four regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The study uses 2022 as the base year and provides market estimates and forecasts in millions of U.S. dollars from 2023 to 2028.

Interesting Facts about the Global Water and Wastewater Pipes Market

With an annual replacement rate of only 0.50%, many developed countries are gradually replacing their outdated pipes. Much of the water infrastructure, including World War II-era pipes, is still operating. While the 100-year lifespan of modern PVC pipes provides a long-lasting solution, the sluggish replacement rate jeopardizes the dependability and purity of the water.

The following factors drive The Global Water and Wastewater Pipes Market:

High Number of Water Leaks: Water leaks are a significant concern worldwide due to aging infrastructure, corrosion, and general wear and tear. These issues lead to considerable water losses, which impact both municipal and industrial water systems. The need for efficient water distribution networks is therefore crucial, as better-quality pipes can significantly minimize leaks and losses. Addressing these leaks not only conserves water but also ensures a more reliable supply for various needs. 

Infrastructural Development in Regions: As regions undergo population growth and urbanization, the demand for improved infrastructure, including water supply and sanitation systems, rises. This growth necessitates substantial investments in construction projects, encompassing both residential and commercial developments. Consequently, the demand for high-quality water and wastewater pipes increases, as they are essential for supporting these expanding infrastructures and ensuring adequate water distribution and waste management.

Governments’ Increased Focus on Water and Wastewater Management: Governments around the world are increasingly recognizing the critical importance of sustainable water management. This recognition translates into substantial investments in projects aimed at enhancing water supply, treatment, and distribution systems. Economic growth and environmental concerns drive these initiatives, which significantly benefit the pipe market. By improving water infrastructure, governments can ensure more efficient water use and better environmental stewardship.

Use of Sustainable Materials in Pipes: The water pipe industry is gradually shifting towards the use of more environmentally friendly materials. For example, plastic pipes are becoming more popular due to their durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of installation. The use of these sustainable materials not only contributes to more efficient water distribution but also results in lower maintenance costs and promotes environmental conservation. This shift reflects a broader trend toward sustainability in industrial practices and infrastructure development.

PVC is known for its affordability and long lifespan, while HDPE offers lightweight and flexible options suitable for various water systems. ABS is impact-resistant and commonly used in drainage, and PEX is prized for its flexibility in water supply lines. Metal pipes, including steel, ductile iron, and copper, provide strength and durability, with specific uses in high-pressure applications and systems requiring antimicrobial properties. Concrete pipes are preferred for large-scale infrastructure projects due to their sturdiness, and historically, clay pipes have been used in sewer systems for their durability and chemical resistance.  Applications: Pipes are essential in both water supply and wastewater management systems. For water supply, they transport clean water from sources to consumers, ensuring a reliable delivery system. In wastewater management, pipes collect and convey wastewater to treatment plants, where it is processed before being safely discharged or reused. These applications are crucial for maintaining public health and environmental standards. End Use: Pipes serve crucial roles in municipal and industrial contexts. In municipal systems, they are used for public water supply and sanitation, ensuring communities have access to clean water and effective waste disposal. In industrial settings, pipes support various processes in manufacturing plants and facilities, providing reliable water supply and wastewater management essential for operational efficiency and environmental compliance.

Taiwan’s Smart Tolling Technology Goes Global as Thailand Launches AI-Powered M81 Motorway System

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sightings of electronic toll collection (ETC) gantries resembling those used on Taiwan’s freeways have recently drawn attention on social media along the Bangkok–Kanchanaburi highway. Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co., Ltd. (FETC) confirmed that the system is part of Thailand’s newly launched M-Flow multi-lane free-flow tolling system on the Intercity Motorway No. 81 Bang Yai – Kanchanaburi Route (M81).

Developed in collaboration with FETC International (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (FETCi Thailand) and the BGSR81 Co., Ltd, the system has officially entered operation, marking a significant milestone in Thailand’s transition toward smart, digitally enabled highway infrastructure.

The launch also strengthens connectivity between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi, effectively creating a “one-day travel corridor” and supporting regional tourism and economic activity.

AI-Driven Tolling Cuts Travel Time to 48 Minutes

According to Kenny Chen, Managing Director of FETCi Thailand, the M81 project demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of Taiwan’s ETC technology in complex international environments.

FETCi Thailand led the design, installation, and implementation of the tolling system and its Traffic Operations Center (TOC). The platform integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enable data-driven traffic management and operational decision-making. It is also designed for future expansion, including applications such as weigh-in-motion enforcement.

Thailand’s diverse vehicle types and more complex license plate formats presented technical challenges. These were addressed through advanced AI-powered automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), ensuring high accuracy in vehicle identification. Combined with multiple digital payment options, the system allows vehicles to pass through toll points without stopping.

Since its launch, travel time between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi has been reduced from nearly two hours to approximately 48 minutes. Weekend traffic volumes have reached around 55,000 vehicles per day, improving both tourism access and logistics efficiency in western Thailand.

M9 Experience Highlights Strong Economic and Environmental Benefits

FETC has also supported Thailand’s Department of Highways (DOH) since 2022 in deploying and operating the M-Flow system on the M9 motorway, including gantry design and operational consulting.

According to DOH data, the system has increased traffic throughput fivefold and saves motorists an estimated 3.33 million hours annually. It has achieved a benefit-cost ratio of 6.94, meaning each dollar invested generates nearly seven dollars in overall societal value.

In environmental terms, the system reduces fuel consumption by approximately 13.91 million liters per year and cuts carbon emissions by more than 36,000 metric tons, contributing to more sustainable transportation.
