“Major projects have been undertaken by the Government of South Africa for improving the irrigation and sanitation facilities which have majorly contributed to the demand for plastic pipes and fittings in country.”
Focus towards high quality products: SAPPMA i.e. the Southern African Plastic Pipe Manufacturers Association’s have majorly shifted their focus towards creating consumer confidence within the plastic pipes and fittings industry and to further promote the production as well as the usage of high quality plastic pipes and pipes systems. Additionally, manufacturers were encouraged to follow the strict rules and quality standards laid down by the association. For instance, manufacturers are allowed to display their logo on their pipes, therefore clearly differentiating quality pipes from substandard production. SAPPMA is voluntary, non-profit organization that represents almost 90.0% of all certified manufacturers of HDPE and PVC plastic pipes being made in Southern Africa.
Acceptance of large diameter plastic pipes: Plastic pipes and fittings market within South Africa is further benefiting from the growing acceptance of large diameter plastic pipes towards infrastructure applications such as drainage, sewer and water transmission. Water distribution and sewage disposal in particular are 2 areas where a growing demand for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes was observed.
End User Applications: The South African plastic pipes market is well-developed throughout the plastics value chain and caters to both local demand and export markets. Generally, the leading end users for plastic pipes are packaging, building, construction, mining, agriculture and the automotive industry. These industries have struggled to adjust to changes in the market due to a downturn in demand, rising tide of imports and competition from advanced developing countries. Also, cheap imports of relatively low value-added products are causing some regions of the South Africa’s plastics industry to restructure. As a result of which, a number of companies have relocated their manufacturing facilities to low-cost production sites.
Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “South Africa Plastic Pipes and Fittings Market Outlook to 2023 - By PVC – UPVC, MPVC, CPVC, HDPE, and O-PVC; By End User Application (Infrastructure, Bulk Water, Irrigation, Mining and Others); By Organized and Unorganized Segment” believe that the industry has a huge potential to grow if the government spending on infrastructure is increased, aging infrastructure is replaced, investment is made in latest technologies to manufacture quality products and within emerging segments of plastic pipes and fittings such as O-PVC. The market is expected to record a forecasted CAGR of 4.8% during the outlook period 2019-2023.
