アスベスト圧力パイプ市場- 世界の産業規模、シェア、動向、機会、予測、直径別、定格圧力別、用途別、地域別、競合別、2020-2030年

アスベスト圧力パイプの世界市場規模は2024年に30億7,000万米ドルで、予測期間中のCAGRは4.88%で、2030年には41億2,000万米ドルに達すると予測されています。

世界のアスベスト圧力パイプ市場は、歴史的にインフラ開拓、特に上下水道や灌漑システムの建設において重要な役割を果たしてきました。アスベスト繊維とセメントの混合物から作られるこれらのパイプは、高い引張強度、耐久性、耐腐食性、内圧に耐える能力で知られており、多くの発展途上地域で飲料水や工業用流体の輸送に適した材料となっています。しかし、アスベストへの曝露に伴う健康被害に対する意識の高まりにより、市場はここ数十年で大きく変貌を遂げ、特に北米と西欧を中心に多くの国で禁止と規制が行われるようになりました。こうした課題にもかかわらず、アジア太平洋、ラテンアメリカ、アフリカ、東欧のいくつかの地域では、規制の施行がそれほど厳しくなかったり、古いインフラがアスベストセメントパイプラインに依存し続けていたりするため、市場は依然として活発です。

新興経済諸国は、コストの制約や、低圧の非飲料用アプリケーションに有効な代替品がないため、従来のアスベストパイプラインの維持や交換を続けています。このような市場では、アスベスト圧力パイプは、その低コスト、設置の容易さ、運転寿命の長さから、依然として支持されています。特にインド、バングラデシュ、ブラジル、サハラ以南のアフリカ諸国などでは、農村部のインフラ整備計画が需要をさらに後押ししています。しかし、これらの地域でも、公衆衛生キャンペーンの増加や国際機関からの圧力により、ダクタイル鋳鉄、PVC、HDPEパイプなど、より安全な代替品へのシフトが加速しています。その結果、アスベスト圧力パイプ市場は、新規設置よりもむしろ交換やメンテナンスに重点を置いた市場へと徐々に移行しつつあります。

競合の観点から見ると、世界市場は比較的断片化されており、特定の地域ではいくつかの地域プレーヤーが優位を占めています。市場に参入している注目すべき企業には、ジェームス・ハーディー・インダストリーズ、エテックス・グループ（エターニット）、ビサカ・インダストリーズ、ARLインフラテック、ヒューム・パイプ・インダストリーズなどがあります。これらの企業は、従来のアスベスト事業を管理する一方で、非アスベスト系製品への多角化を進めています。規制状況、特にWHOとILOのガイドラインに沿った開発は、今後10年間で市場情勢をさらに再編成すると予想されます。トレンチレスパイプリライニングのようなパイプ更生技術の進歩も、完全撤去せずに既存のアスベスト圧力パイプの寿命を延ばす機会を提供しています。全体として、アスベスト圧力パイプの世界市場は、新製品の設置という点では減少傾向にあるもの、特にコストに敏感で、十分なサービスを受けていない地域において、レガシーインフラ管理における重要性を保持し続けています。

The Global Asbestos Pressure Pipes Market was valued at USD 3.07 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 4.12 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.88% during the forecast period.

The global Asbestos Pressure Pipes Market has historically played a significant role in infrastructure development, particularly in the construction of water supply, sewage, and irrigation systems. These pipes, made from a mixture of asbestos fibers and cement, are known for their high tensile strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand internal pressure-making them a preferred material for transporting potable water and industrial fluids in many developing regions. However, the market has witnessed significant transformation in recent decades due to increasing awareness of the health hazards associated with asbestos exposure, leading to bans and restrictions in numerous countries, particularly across North America and Western Europe. Despite these challenges, the market remains active in several parts of Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, where regulatory enforcement is less stringent or where older infrastructure continues to rely on asbestos cement pipelines.

Developing economies continue to maintain or replace legacy asbestos pipe networks due to cost constraints and the absence of viable substitutes for low-pressure, non-potable applications. In these markets, asbestos pressure pipes are still favored for their low cost, ease of installation, and long operational lifespan. The demand is further supported by rural infrastructure development programs, particularly in countries like India, Bangladesh, Brazil, and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, even in these regions, increasing public health campaigns and pressure from international organizations are accelerating the shift toward safer alternatives such as ductile iron, PVC, and HDPE pipes. As a result, the asbestos pressure pipes market is gradually transitioning into a replacement and maintenance-focused market rather than new installations.

From a competitive perspective, the global market is relatively fragmented, with several regional players dominating in specific geographies. Notable companies involved in the market include James Hardie Industries, Etex Group (Eternit), Visaka Industries, ARL Infratech, and Hume Pipe Industries, among others. These companies are increasingly diversifying into non-asbestos-based products while managing legacy asbestos operations. Regulatory developments, particularly those aligning with WHO and ILO guidelines, are expected to further reshape the market landscape over the coming decade. Technological advancements in pipe rehabilitation, such as trenchless pipe relining, also offer opportunities to extend the lifespan of existing asbestos pressure pipes without full removal. Overall, while the global asbestos pressure pipes market is declining in terms of new product installations, it continues to hold significance in legacy infrastructure management, especially in cost-sensitive and underserved regions.

Key Market Drivers

Infrastructure Expansion and Urbanization

The rapid pace of urbanization, especially in emerging economies, continues to drive the demand for asbestos pressure pipes due to their affordability and ability to support growing water infrastructure. Asia-Pacific alone accounted for around 30% of the total consumption of asbestos cement pipes in 2024, with developing countries like India and Indonesia actively using them in rural water supply and sanitation projects. In North America, asbestos pressure pipes contributed to approximately 50% of the total asbestos cement pipe market in 2024. India imported over 310,000 tonnes of asbestos in 2016-17, demonstrating the continued reliance on the material. In Brazil, asbestos pressure pipes make up about 25% of the water distribution infrastructure, and in Russia, roughly 30% of legacy water systems still incorporate asbestos-based pipelines. This trend highlights how infrastructure upgrades in cost-sensitive regions continue to push demand for asbestos pressure pipes despite health concerns.

Key Market Challenges

Health Risks and Regulatory Pressure

Health concerns around asbestos exposure remain the largest challenge for the industry. In many regions, over 70 % of legacy asbestos cement pipe installations exceed fifty years in age, meaning fiber degradation is worsening. In some urban areas, more than 25 % of water samples show elevated asbestos levels. Regulatory authorities have declared acceptable limits as low as 0.1 fibers/ml, making compliance difficult for aging networks. In one municipality, annual water safety audits led to 15 recorded exceedances in a year using pipes installed in the 1960s. Insurance claims in utilities with aging asbestos infrastructure rose by 20 % annually due to accidental ruptures and contamination. With more than 68 countries banning asbestos usage, new product deployment is highly restricted, leading to heavy regulatory scrutiny even in countries where legacy systems remain.

Key Market Trends

Strengthening Regulatory Frameworks

Many jurisdictions are raising regulatory thresholds and accelerating ecosystem shifts. In 2023-24, at least 15 governments introduced revised water safety standards with tighter asbestos fiber limits. Some regions will phase out asbestos pipe replacement entirely within 10 to 15 years, requiring accelerated remediation planning. Inspection mandates now require risk assessments for over 90 % of pipes older than 50 years. In countries tightening enforcement, fines for fiber exceedance rose by 200 % in regulatory weight. Utilities are now mandated to submit remediation roadmaps within eight years. Audits of water treatment facilities reportedly increased by 60 % in such jurisdictions.
