Earlier Report Observations

The Portuguese market for rigid plastic tubes, pipes and hoses demonstrated resilience from 2018 to 2022, supported by established domestic producers and the launch of new brands such as Restinet, which introduced innovative plastic net solutions. Investments in extrusion equipment by companies like PERIPLAST enhanced national production capacity, while growing adoption of PVC tubes for formwork in construction sustained demand. The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily impacted the construction sector in 2020, but the market recovered as industrial demand and focus on recyclable materials increased in 2021, reinforced by international quality certifications.

Market growth continued into 2022, reaching 218.8 million USD, driven by the industry's strengthening and adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices. However, in 2023 the market size contracted sharply to 152.2 million USD, with production falling to 134.1 million USD.
