Japan will witness high discharge of End-of-Service Life PVC pipes in upcoming years which will majorly drive the market growth.
PVC pipe and fittings market in Japan has been driven by significant rise in demand from construction and infrastructural developments sectors in the country.
The Government of Japan has increased focus on recycling and reuse of PVC pipes instead of disposing old pipes which has promoted growth in the market.

Japan PVC market is set to show promising growth over the next five years on account of various ongoing and upcoming infrastructural developments in the country. Construction of residential and commercial buildings has been increased in the country since last decade which has majorly attributed to the growth of PVC pipes in the country. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming years which will aid the overall market growth. The country has increased focus on recycling of PVC pipes which has improved the image of PVC products. This will further result in increasing usage of PVC pipes owing to their environment friendly nature. Increased investment in water supply infrastructure, increased investments in industrial and public infrastructure and country’s focus on rehabilitation of aging pipelines will drive market growth in upcoming years.

Discharge of End-of-Service Life PVC pipe would grow sharply in upcoming years as the number of demolished residential buildings will increase over the years. Additionally, PVC pipe used for the social infrastructures such as the municipal water supply pipeline and sewerage pipeline would start to end its design service life in near future. Accordingly, it is estimated that discharge of End-of-Service Life PVC pipe may exceed 50 thousand tons in 2020, and 100 thousand tons in 2030. As the service life of these pipes will end in near future, it will act as a fruitful opportunity for PVC pipe manufacturers in the industry.

PVC Production in Japan, PVC Resin Consumption in Japan, Polymer Production in Japan and Number of Residential Units are some other key factors that may have positive impact on the market, according to the Analyst at Ken Research.

Ken Research in its latest study, Japan PVC Pipe and Fittings Market by type of pipes (Chlorinated PVC Pipe, Regular PVC Pipe, Plasticized PVC Pipe and Fittings), by application (Construction, Sewerage, Water Supply, Agriculture, Cable Protection) – Outlook to 2022, suggests that demand for PVC pipes in the market will grow at a modest rate owing to rising infrastructure building coupled with ending service life of PVC pipes in upcoming years.
