Trenchless Pipe Relining Market is expected to reach US$ 5,001.55 Million by 2031

Aging Pipeline Infrastructures Globally Boost Trenchless Pipe Relining Market Growth

According to our latest market study on "Trenchless Pipe Relining Market Size and Forecast (2021–2031), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis – by Method, End-User, Diameter, and Curing Method," the market was valued at US$ 3,164.24 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach US$ 5,001.55 million by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.86% during 2025–2031. The report includes growth prospects in light of current trenchless pipe relining market trends and driving factors influencing the market growth.

The deteriorating state of global pipeline infrastructure represents the most significant driver for trenchless technology adoption. In the US alone, more than 17.9 billion feet of installed pipelines were laid in the mid-20th century and now require urgent rehabilitation. Similarly, European Union states operate approximately 23 billion feet of pipes that have been in service for over 100 years. The severity of this challenge is highlighted by the fact that water main break rates increased by 27% between 2012 and 2018 in the US and Canada, resulting in approximately 6 billion gallons of treated water lost daily due to pipe deterioration. This aging infrastructure crisis created an enormous demand for trenchless rehabilitation technologies, as traditional open-cut methods prove increasingly disruptive and costly in urban environments.

The underground water infrastructure, sewage maintenance, and clean water supply are a few of the key areas in a European infrastructure that are financially neglected. The cities and municipalities are at major risk, and there is a need to find an immediate and cost-effective solution. In addition, as per the Infrastructure Australia report, the country's water and sewage expenses might double by 2040. The aging infrastructure of the country is resulting in additional expenditure for its maintenance. The report estimated that the number of properties supplying water and sewerage might increase by approximately 3 million in the next 20 years.  

With these aging infrastructures, maintaining, repairing, and monitoring these pipelines has become necessary. As a result, there is a growing need to invest in restoring aging infrastructure, leading to increased demand for solutions such as trenchless pipe relining. Trenchless pipe relining solutions are gaining traction due to their performance and technical advantages. These solutions repair existing underground pipelines with limited or no excavation while avoiding traffic jams, landscape destruction, and other environmental impacts. Many pipeline operators are increasingly adopting trenchless pipe relining solutions to overcome the problem of aging infrastructure. Thus, the rising number of aging pipeline infrastructures drives the trenchless pipe relining market growth.

The scope of the trenchless pipe relining market report focuses on North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Middle East and Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East and Africa), and South and Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South and Central America).  Europe registered significant trenchless pipe relining market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 7.07% during the analyzed timeframe. Europe's water infrastructure includes pumps, treatment plants, and a pipe network operated by public and private water and wastewater utilities. Approximately 7 million kilometers of pipes in Europe have been in operation for more than 100 years. Challenges faced in the pipeline infrastructure include rising urbanization, growing population, and climate change. According to the European Commission (EC), the government authorities in Europe in 2024 invested nearly US$ 50.4 billion to modernize water infrastructure, reduce the cost of damages, and protect the health of the environment. An older infrastructure decreases the quality of water supply and sanitation services. Broken or blocked wastewater pipes cause a discharge of untreated sewage into local waterways. The pipe relining solutions play an important role in repairing the damage to the pipes and reducing the cost.

As the adoption of trenchless technology is increasing, market players are expanding their presence in European countries. In October 2022, Trelleborg Group, a Germany-based manufacturer of machinery, robotics, and liners used for trenchless pipe repairs, announced an agreement to acquire the assets of Innovative Sewer Technologies (IST). With this acquisition, the company is expanding its presence in the pipe repair market in Europe. The Netherlands is facing infrastructure challenges with its drinking water distribution network, comprising approximately 120,000 kilometers of underground pipelines. Pipes installed during the network expansion of the 1950s–1970s are expected to require replacement in the coming decades, with an estimated average lifetime of nearly 70 years. Companies operating in the Europe trenchless pipe relining market are adopting merger and acquisition activities to remain competitive in the market. In May 2024, Trelleborg Group acquired BP-Tech Group, a Finnish pipe repair specialist (including Boldan and Spraypoxy), strengthening its position in the Nordic region. The acquisition included proprietary spray-in-place solutions and industry-leading contractor training capabilities across 24 countries worldwide. This strategic move aligns with Trelleborg's strategy to increase exposure to water infrastructure as the industry prepares for significant growth.
