Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Market Trends

• The use of CPVC pipe fittings (perforated) and couplings (raw) has grown over time from just being used for plumbing to the following other applications; CPVC piping is now used for fire suppression systems; Industrial Fluid Transport; and HVAC systems. The trend toward using CPVC for those applications has been caused in part by the material's high-temperature resistance, high-pressure performance, and high-corrosive chemical capability. CPVC is a favourite of both Engineers and Contractors due to its reliability, ease of installation, and long life span. The use of these multi-purpose materials significantly reduces the overall complexity (number of types) of piping materials used in construction projects while still maintaining both environmental and building safety, as well as continuing to be a viable option for a long time.
   
• Due to the labour shortage facing the construction industry and the need to control costs, the trend toward reducing installation time and requirements will continue to drive the use of lightweight products like CPVC, as it is easier to cut, join together, and move than products, such as metal. As the number of construction projects continues to be reduced due to the ongoing shortage of Labour, the number of projects using CPVC is going to rise due to its lower weight and flexibility compared with heavier and less flexible metal products.
   

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Market Analysis

Based on manufacturing process, the market is segmented into extrusion-based CPVC, and injection molding-based CPVC. Extrusion-based CPVC dominated the market with an approximate market share of 72.7% in 2025 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.8% by 2035.
