U.S. Hose And Tubing Materials Volume To Reach 1 Billion Pounds By 2017

Flexible hose and tubing continues to be a vital industry, despite its modest growth rate and the rather staid general impression of garden hose and other everyday products. Relatively recent changes in the industry have brought about the development of newer materials that compete with more established and older synthetic resins and elastomers. BCC Research projects the market for flexible hose and tubing to be driven by the introduction of new regulatory and environmental rules and changes within the industry, particularly in the automotive and industrial segments.

According to BCC Research’s report, Polymeric Flexible Hose & Tubing, the overall U.S. market for hose and tubing materials by volume was 891 million pounds in 2012. The market is projected to reach 1 billion pounds in 2017, after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%.
