Global Ductile Cast Iron Pipes Market is valued approximately at USD 9330.35 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 2.80% over the forecast period 2019-2026. Ductile cast iron pipes not only retails all of cast iron’s attributes such as corrosion resistance, machinability, but also it offers additional toughness, ductility and strength and it also more durable and more cost effective than cast iron. Also, it incorporates significant casting refinements, superior quality control and additional metallurgical processes making it suitable for modern water and wastewater systems. Also, these pipes offer higher tensile strength than mild steel and retail the inherent corrosion resistance of cast iron. The pipes made from ductile cast iron offers substantial benefits in terms of impact resistance, pressure bearing ability and capacity to sustain external static/ dynamic loading. The growth of the market is witnessed owing to the surging development of water infrastructure and rapid urbanization. For Instance: As per the report published by Infrastructure Report Card in 2017, the federal government has provided on average of $1.4billion per year over the past five years to the 50 states and the District of Columbia through the Clean Water States Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program to promote waste water treatment .
