by the government on infrastructure, augmentation of real estate sector

and increasing recognition among people regarding the benefits of PVC

pipes over other conventional piping systems.

The advent of construction of smart cities which require different types of

pipes and fittings has also been a major factor which imparted growth to

the PVC pipes and fittings industry in India. The major end users for PVC

pipes and fittings in India are housing, irrigation and water infrastructure.

Agricultural sector accounts for major demand of PVC pipes in India.

Subsidies and investments (such as Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee

others) made by the government in the agricultural sector have bolstered

the demand for PVC pipes in the country in the last few years.

The produ tio apa it i FY’ has ee re orded at ~ illio MT as o pared to ~ illio MT i FY’ . The positi e gro th i the PVC pipes

production capacity can mainly be attributed to the factors such as

increased government focus on water and sanitation management, rise in

irrigational land for food production which in turn influenced the demand

for PVC pipes from the agriculture sector and growth in real estate market

of India.The PVC pipes and fittings industry in India is highly fragmented in

nature with a huge number of companies.

Presently, there are nearly 1,100 companies engaged in manufacturing and

distribution of PVC pipes and other equipments in the country and nearly

500 players are there in the unorganized segment. However, the

competition in the industry is primarily confined between top 5 players

(include Finolex Industries Limited, Jain Irrigation Systems Limited,

Supreme Industries, Prince Pipes and Fittings Private Limited, Astral Poly

Technik Limited and Ashirvad Pipes Private Limited) in the organized space

and several small scale players operating in the unorganized space.

The PVC pipes and fittings industry in India is largely contributed by the

irrigation sector which contributed ~% in the PVC pipes market revenue in

a erage a ual rate of ~% duri g FY’ -FY’ . The lo pri ed PVC pipes are extensively used by the farmers in India, especially in the states

of Punjab and Haryana, to irrigate the fields with water from tube wells.

Another major application of PVC pipes and fittings in India is

transportation of water. Water supply contributed ~% to the demand for

PVC pipes and fittings in India and recorded market value of INR ~ million

i FY’ . Lead free PVC pipi g s ste s are idel used i I dia for conveying potable water to the households.

The demand for PVC pipes in a particular region is influenced by a range of

factors such as the population, the per capita income, literacy rate, status

of supplies of the products, status of the commercial and industrial sector,

a d a aila ilit of su stitute produ ts a o g other fa tors. I FY’ , southern region of India contributed the largest share of ~% in the overall

South India comes from the states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

West India accounted for the next largest share of ~% in the market

revenue. The major demand of the PVC pipes and fittings in the western

region came from Maharashtra because of high proportion of middle class

population and high pace of growth of construction activities in regions of

Mumbai and Pune.

In the past few years, a shifting trend towards CPVC pipes has been witnessed

in India. CPVC is obtained by chlorination of Polyvinyl Chloride. It has

better physical and mechanical properties than PVC, which makes it ideal

for making pipes and pipe fittings. CPVC gives pipes an unbeatable

strength and high corrosive water and heat resistance. They are widely

used in the industries for the transportation of hazardous and highly

corrosive chemicals. Growing prices of copper and increasing recognition

of benefits of plastic piping systems has led to a steady growth of plastic

pipes penetration in the Indian market in the last few years. In India,

plastic pipes and fittings are particularly used in the sanitary, construction

and agricultural sectors.

In comparison to concrete, copper and steel pipes, plastic pipes have a lower

leakage and corrosion rate and require lower installation costs. People

have started showing more confidence in plastic pipes than years ago and

are more willing to install plastic pipes rather than other iron pipes at their

households. Among different plastic pipes, presently PVC has a dominant

share of ~%.Currently, the margins of the organized players of PVC pipes

are being hampered by the unorganized players charging lower prices. The

advent of GST would bring in new opportunities for the organized segment

of the market GST since the outflow of tax revenue from the unorganized

sector would be corked with the help of GST implementation.

Moreover, the implementation of GST will change the margins of different

players in the value chain since the tax paid in the GST is expected to be

greater than the overall tax paid in the current system which will make the

unorganized players worse off.It has been estimated that, currently India

has a shortage of around ~ million houses and around ~ million houses are

needed till 2022. This presents a huge opportunity not only for the

housing and construction sector but also for the players in PVC pipes and

fitting segment since construction of houses will always require PVC pipes

and fittings.

Furthermore, the government of India has also been focusing on

infrastructural projects such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and The Smart

Cities Project. This will augment huge demand of in the piping industry,

thereby entailing the growth of capacity and its utilization. It has been

estimated that more than half of the Indian population defecate in open

and the government is planning the indoor toilets for every home in the

coming years. Moreover, the project of smart water and waste

management will also provide a huge impetus to the PVC piping industry

in India.

The revenue from the Indian PVC pipes and fittings industry is projected to

register stro g gro th o er the period FY’ -FY’ . It is a ti ipated to gro ~% o er the period FY’ -FY’ a d is e pe ted to rea h INR ~ illio i FY’ as o pared to INR ~ illio i FY’ . The orga ized segment of the market is predicted to grow at a faster rate in the coming

years with shifting preferences towards branded and quality products

being witnessed in the domestic market. This would be backed by the

increasing young working population in the country with high population

who prefer branded pipes and fittings for their homes.The residential real

estate market has witnessed balanced growth in the last couple of years

owing to the increasing population and growing demand for affordable

housing accommodation.
