ern Africa. Getting hotter and drier, the
region is considered the most water-scarce
region in the world. Its countries are taking
steps to ensure a water-secure future for
their citizens. The World Bank supports
these countries and holds ready a UD$2.6
bn water portfolio including support to
improve irrigation for agriculture, provide
safe drinking water, safeguard oases,
reduce systemic water losses and clean
up beaches, cities and rural communities
through better treatment of wastewater.
Pipes made from Polyethylene (PE) are
often used across systems for water supply
and irrigation, sewerage and drainage as
well as gas supply und slurry lines. These
pipes facilitate an effi cient application due
to their properties such as mechanical
strength, elasticity, corrosion resistance,
chemical durability and UV resistance com-
bined with their ease of installation.
The market research company Expert
Market Research valued the PE pipes
market of the MEA region at US$2.3 bn in
2024. The industry is expected to grow at
a CAGR of 7.7% during the period of 2025-
2034 to attain a valuation of about USD 4.9
bn by 2034.
With regard to copper pipes and tubes
market in the MEA region, the market
researchers of Grandview Research quan-
tifi ed the revenue of at US$263 mn in 2024
