The Global Plastic Conduit Market was valued at $ 17,267.4 Million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2027. A conduit is a pipe that enables and protects electrical wires or fluids to go through. Plastic conduits are used in numerous industries for example manufacturing, agriculture, telecom industry, banking sector, and even in all possible households. An electrical conduit can be made out of various materials such as fiber, plastic, fired clay, and metal, among others. There are 7 different types of conduit which are utilized in light commercial and residential wiring. Conduits are generally used to cover damaged or exposed wires in the electrical application.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) provides certain guidelines that must be followed during the installation process. The flexible conduit took the top most position in 2018 in the global plastic conduit market share with regards to the revenue generated and is supposedly going to secure the topmost position in the future. This is due to the ease of installation as compared to rigid conduits. Also, flexible non- metallic conduits are cheaper to manufacture. There exists a huge chunk of the unorganized sector in the electrical conduit pipe market which constitutes a whopping 50% of the market share. This can directly impact the organized sector as half the market is captured by the unorganized sector which reduces their revenue.

Growth Impact Factors
There are various factors that promote as well as hamper the growth of the global plastic conduit market. Rising demand for plastic conduits in residential buildings, demand for safe wiring systems and increasing industrialization are some of the factors contributing towards the growth of this particular industry whereas a rise in the prices of non-metallic raw materials and expensive cost of installation inhibit the growth
Increase in commercial and industrial activities
There has been a growing trend in entrepreneurship as a result of which there’s a rise in the demand and construction of commercial buildings. The large size of these offices and buildings leads to high consumption of power. This, in turn, increases the demand for safe and secure plastic conduits which will allow a stable flow of electricity in an optimal manner. An increase in the number of residential complexes also affects the demand for plastic conduits.
Growing demand from the IT and telecom sector
There’s a growing demand from the IT and telecom sectors. This may be because of the adoption of optical fiber in data centers. Factors such as the implementation of a 5G network across many regions, demand for safe and secure wiring systems, an increase in the demand for fiber for household connectivity, etc. also cause an impact.
Rise in urban population
There has been a drastic rise in the urban population from 75 million in 1950 to 4.2 billion in 2018 as per the United Nations. The growth in the urban population leads to a rise in the demand for residential complexes and thereby increases the demand for electrical conduit pipes.
Increase in Government Regulations
Guidelines are provided by the Government authorities in order to make efficient use of plastic and reduce waste and also to promote recycling. These regulations inhibit the growth of the plastic conduit market as they increase the cost of manufacturing and might even reduce the demand for plastic conduit pipes largely. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has amended the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations which provide guidelines for the plastic piping systems used in the transportation of gases. These guidelines provide protection while transporting these in order to prevent any leakages or fatal accidents. Rules are also established by various national authorities in order to restrict the use of lead and other toxic materials while producing PVC conduit pipes as these toxic substances get mixed with the water flowing through these pipes affecting human health.
US has already established laws to restrict the use of lead in PVC pipes. They have issued standards for use of heat stabilizers in PVC material.
Many companies are now focusing on producing non- toxic PVC pipes since it’s now a pressing issue by the government. These companies can profit substantially since they’re following the rules and regulations set by their respective authorities. They are searching for new and innovative ways to produce safer conduits for the transportation of gases as well so as to grab maximum market share. This is a significant area that all companies are expected to focus on over the next few years.
