The ongoing surge in infrastructure investments across multiple regions has been instrumental in fueling demand for high-performance piping systems.
In the U.S., total construction spending reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2,195.8 billion in February 2025, showing a 2.9% increase over the previous year. This expansion, particularly in residential and non-residential sectors, underscores the growing requirement for efficient fluid transport systems across varied applications such as plumbing, water supply, and HVAC systems. The high adoption of modern materials in infrastructure upgrades has placed these piping solutions at the core of development efforts.
Europe's commitment to advancing public infrastructure through civil engineering and renovation projects further supports this trend. Germany witnessed a 20% rise in public construction orders in 2023, led by investments in energy-efficient buildings and transport infrastructure. Italy, too, experienced an 18% growth in civil engineering, which is projected to rise by another 20% in 2024 under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
These developments create a strong foundation for market expansion through robust infrastructure-led demand.
Despite strong momentum in infrastructure, regional economic headwinds have curtailed growth in certain segments, limiting full-scale market expansion.
In Germany, residential construction declined sharply in 2023, with housing permits dropping 27% and detached housing approvals plummeting over 40%. High construction costs, compounded by mortgage interest rates surging from 1.3% to over 4%, made new residential investments financially unviable for both households and commercial entities.
This downturn significantly reduced material demand across large-scale developments.
France witnessed a similar trajectory with an 8% decline in residential infrastructure in 2023 and an anticipated further contraction of 21.3% in 2024.
This trend is intensified by the phasing out of government incentives and tighter credit markets. These declines in core construction sectors have a direct impact on the demand for associated building materials, including piping systems, thus constraining consistent growth momentum across the market landscape.
While new residential developments may face slowdowns in certain geographies, renovation and public-sector investments are opening up fresh opportunities for market players. Italy's housing renovation market remained resilient in 2023, growing by 0.5%, supported by the Superbonus measure.
France's residential renovation market grew by 2.2% in the same year, driven by energy-efficiency upgrades. These trends indicate that renovation-focused policies and tax incentives play a vital role in maintaining material demand during broader economic uncertainty.
Public infrastructure continues to offer expansive opportunities, particularly with rising global emphasis on climate-resilient and energy-efficient systems. Germany's civil engineering orders rose 3% in 2023, supported by transport and rail infrastructure upgrades. Italy’s infrastructure spending under NRRP is projected to rise 20% in 2024, creating favourable conditions for suppliers aiming to serve large-scale public sector projects.
These channels present attractive opportunities for sustained growth and strategic market entry.
Major countries have reinforced their commitment to public infrastructure with growing investments in civil engineering projects. Italy’s civil engineering segment experienced an 18% increase in 2023 and is forecast to grow another 20% in 2024 under NRRP.
This growth is linked to upgrades in utilities, urban infrastructure, and transport systems, creating a sustained pipeline of demand for efficient piping solutions. Germany also recorded a 3% increase in civil engineering orders, bolstered by transport and energy renovation initiatives.
This trend is not isolated to Europe. In the U.S., public construction spending reached $509.3 billion in February 2025, up from $508.3 billion the previous month. Educational and highway projects in particular posted gains, reflecting continued federal and state-level infrastructure support.
The cumulative demand from these activities elevates the importance of durable, easy-to-install piping products in meeting project timelines and environmental compliance goals.
The construction and infrastructure industries are increasingly aligning with global sustainability goals.
Government policies in Germany and France are encouraging energy-efficient renovations, while Italy’s infrastructure projects under the NRRP include strong provisions for green upgrades. In this context, eco-friendly and recyclable building materials are gaining priority in procurement decisions.
This sustainability push is leading to the increased adoption of thermoplastic piping systems that support reduced carbon footprints and enhanced durability.
As builders and contractors emphasize material performance, recyclability, and energy efficiency, demand is shifting in favor of advanced alternatives that meet these evolving benchmarks. These dynamics are setting a strong precedent for long-term material preference transitions within the infrastructure supply chain.
