Compared with traditional cast iron pipes, galvanized steel pipes, cement pipes and other pipes, PPR pipes have the advantages of energy saving and material saving, environmental protection, light weight and high strength, corrosion resistance, smooth inner wall without scaling, easy construction and maintenance, and long service life. Widely used in building water supply and drainage, urban and rural water supply and drainage, urban gas, electricity and optical cable sheathing, industrial fluid transportation, agricultural irrigation and other construction, municipal, industrial and agricultural fields.
In recent years, with the increasing market demand of construction, municipal engineering, water conservancy engineering, agriculture and industry, China's PPR pipe industry has shown a rapid development trend. In 2009, the production volume of plastic pipes was 5.804 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%. From January to September 2010, the production volume of plastic pipes was 5.528 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 28.23%. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of consumers' quality requirements for product environmental protection, health, and durability, my country's plastic pipe production has increased, product quality has continued to improve, the industry's technological progress has continued to accelerate, brand-scale enterprises have continued to increase, new Materials and new structure varieties are constantly emerging, advanced system design concepts emerge in an endless stream, the functionality of products is more obvious, and the application fields are further expanded. According to the analysis, the market share of China's plastic pipes in all pipes in 2013 has exceeded 30%.
By 2015, in the national new construction, reconstruction and expansion projects, 85% of building drainage pipes will be made of plastic pipes, 80% of building rainwater drainage pipes will be made of plastic pipes, and the usage of plastic pipes in urban drainage pipes will reach 50%. 85% of supply and heating pipes are plastic pipes, 80% of urban water supply pipes (below DN400mm) are plastic pipes, 90% of villages and towns water supply pipes are plastic pipes, urban gas plastic pipes (medium and low pressure pipes) are used up to 40%. 90% of the threading sheath is made of plastic. It is predicted that during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, my country's plastic pipe production will maintain a growth rate of about 10%. By 2015, the national plastic pipe production is expected to be close to 12 million tons, and the market share of plastic pipes in various types of pipes in the country will exceed 60%.
