North America Ductile Iron Pipes Market Dynamics

Increase in Urbanization Fuels the Market The world's population is becoming increasingly urban. Mass migration is a key feature of today's interconnected world. Due to rising urbanization, the market is likely to increase in the coming years owing to retrofitting programs and rising replacements for the current city's drainage pipelines and water distribution. To improve the infrastructure of the old drainage system government authorities, especially in the metropolitan cities made such programs available hence increasing the market growth. The high use of these pipes in water supply management and the discharge of wastewater is expected to drive the demand in the North American market. Possible Chances for Rust & Corrosion is hampering the market It is well known that rust & corrosion is the predominant mechanism for the deterioration of ductile iron pipes, leading to the reduction of pipe capacity and ultimate collapse of the pipes. In ductile iron pipes continuous rust can form which contains embedded graphite nodules. Due to the rust & corrosion, their acceptance of ductile iron pipes decreases and hence restricts the market growth.
