Plastic Hot & Cold Pipe Market : Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market has been split into several segments and sub-segments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been used wherever applicable to complete the overall market engineering process and to arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. The market has been validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches. Then, it was verified through primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there are three sources—the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. When the values arrived at from the three points matched, the data was assumed to be correct.
Market Definition
Plastic pipes are cylindrical and hollow and have tubular sections. They allow the flow of fluids, such as water and slurries, gases, small masses of solids, and powders. Plastic hot and cold pipes are used for water plumbing, radiator connection, and underfloor surface heating and cooling applications. They are made of materials such as cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), polyethylene-raised temperature (PE-RT), polypropylene random copolymer (PPR), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (C-PVC), and polybutylene (PB).
The most suitable pipes for hot and cold water supply and heating systems are cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) or solid wall polybutylene pipes, multi-layer pipes, and barrier pipes. They are often available in straight lengths or coiled shapes with nominal diameters ranging from 10 mm to 110 mm. Plastic pipes offer many advantages over steel, cast iron, and copper pipes. One of the prime advantages is that plastic is simple to cut and transform into any shape or size on the job site, reducing the labor costs required for their installation.
The market for plastic hot and cold pipe is defined as the sum of revenues generated by global companies from the sale of plastic hot and cold pipe. They cater to various end users, such as industrial, commercial, and residential. The regions considered for the plastic hot and cold pipe market study include Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.
