The study involved four major activities in estimating the market size of the HDPE pipes market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research

Market Definition
HDPE is a strong, flexible plastic pipe material made from high-density polyethylene. Its strength-to-density ratio is higher than many other materials, and it has gained popularity due to this advantage. Applications of HDPE pipes range from water supply and wastewater management to gas distribution and industrial systems. The HDPE pipe is extruded from molten polyethylene in various shapes, but usually cylindrical shapes, which are then cooled and cut to length. The important characteristics of HDPE pipes are that they provide high resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion thus, they are highly recommended for service under extreme conditions or where service longevity and minimal maintenance are significant considerations. HDPE pipes have a high resistance to impact and are light in weight with the facility of ease of installation that reduces transport cost as well as labor cost. They are preferred over more conventional materials like metal or concrete, as they are low in cost, flexible, and recyclable, thus creating an environment-friendly infrastructure development option. Also, because the inner surface is smooth, friction is reduced thereby making flow efficiency in the systems of water and gas better. The market is divided into grade-wise (PE 63, PE 80, and PE 100), diameter-wise (< 50 mm, 110-250 mm, >250 mm), application-specific (water supply, sewage and drainage, oil and gas, industrial systems), and end-use (municipal, agricultural, industrial). The Asia Pacific region is considered the leader of the market through rapid urbanization and giant infrastructure projects. North America and Europe follow the market due to modernization efforts and sustainability goals.
