Middle East & Africa Trenchless Pipe Relining Market Size, Share, Trends, And Forecast, 2021 - 2031 Market To Reach US$244.1 Million As Smart Cities And Robotics Drive 5.9% CAGR

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Expansion, product innovation, and mergers and acquisitions strengthen market presence, while robotics enable safer, faster, less disruptive pipe rehabilitation.

Dublin, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Middle East & Africa Trenchless Pipe Relining Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

According to the report, the Middle East & Africa (MEA) trenchless pipe relining market is projected to reach US$ 244.1 million by 2031, rising from US$ 164.1 million in 2024. The market is expected to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2025 to 2031, supported by rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, water conservation priorities, and demand for efficient pipeline rehabilitation.

The market covers South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of MEA. Saudi Arabia currently represents the largest trenchless pipe relining market in the region, while the UAE is creating significant opportunities through population growth and infrastructure expansion. Demand for trenchless sewer relining in the UAE continues to increase because the technology limits excavation, reduces potential property damage, shortens project timelines, and lowers overall costs.

Rising investment in water and wastewater infrastructure is strengthening the market outlook across MEA. In March 2024, a joint venture announced plans to construct a 150-kilometer pipeline capable of transporting 500,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day between Rayis in Saudi Arabia's Madinah region and Rabigh in the Makkah region. The National Water Company of Saudi Arabia is also encouraging private-sector participation in the development of 114 sewage treatment plants under the country's 2030 National Water Strategy. These projects are increasing the need to inspect, maintain, and rehabilitate aging pipeline networks.

The Middle East & Africa trenchless pipe relining market is segmented by method, end-user, diameter, and curing method. Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) led the market by method in 2024, ahead of Pull-in-Place, Pipe Bursting, and Internal Pipe Coating. The municipal segment accounted for the largest end-user share. Pipes below DN 50 were the most commonly relined diameter category, while Hot Water Cure led the curing method segment.

Technological innovation is accelerating the adoption of trenchless pipeline rehabilitation. Robotic systems support lateral reinstatement, internal cutting, blockage removal, inspection, and repair material application in small-diameter pipelines. Remote-controlled operations can reduce labor requirements, limit human entry into hazardous environments, improve precision, and minimize traffic disruption and noise pollution.

Companies such as ProKASRO are advancing robotic trenchless pipe rehabilitation systems designed to improve worker safety and project efficiency. In 2023, GE introduced a carbon-cutting pipe-building robot for inspecting and restoring natural gas pipelines. Vortex Companies also launched the Vortex Tap Cutting Institute, which includes a robotics simulator for training in safe tap cutting practices. Continued automation and digitalization are expected to expand the capabilities of trenchless pipe relining solutions.

Autonomous in-pipe robots, including Pipebots, represent another important area of development. These systems can navigate pipeline networks, evaluate changing conditions, identify defects, and support complex rehabilitation tasks with limited human intervention. Their use can help prevent leaks, reduce downtime, and improve the accuracy of maintenance planning.

Saudi Arabia offers substantial growth potential due to the scale of its utility infrastructure and ongoing efforts to reduce water losses. The country has more than 8,500 km of major water pipelines, approximately 122,000 km of water networks, and 44,000 km of wastewater collection networks. Water leakage in distribution networks is estimated at 35%, encouraging utilities to adopt trenchless solutions that can address damaged pipelines while limiting disruption. Urban population growth and major smart city developments, including the US$ 500 billion Neom initiative, are also supporting demand.

Leading participants in the MEA trenchless pipe relining market include The Charles Machine Works Inc, Trelleborg AB, RelineEurope GmbH, and Vortex Co LLC. Market participants are pursuing geographic expansion, product innovation, strategic partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions to strengthen their regional presence and deliver advanced pipeline rehabilitation solutions.
