    Research methodology:

    Description:-This report analyzes the worldwide markets for Plastic Pipes inMillion Meters by the following Product

    Segments: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipes, Polyethylene (PE) Pipes, Polypropylene(PP) Pipes, and Others.

    The report provides separate comprehensive analytics for the india,US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America,

    and Rest of World. Annual estimates and forecasts are provided for the period 2009 through 2017. Also,

    a six-year historic analysis is provided for these markets.

    The report profiles 455 companies including many key and niche players such as A.G. Petzetakis S.A.,

    Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., Amanco, C.I. Kasei Company Limited, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC,

    EgePlast A.S, Finolex Industries Ltd., Foshan Rifeng Enterprise Co., Ltd., IPEX, Inc., JM Eagle Company, Inc.,

    KWH Pipe Ltd., Mitsubishi Plastics, Inc., National Pipe and Plastics Inc., NorthAmerican Pipe Corporation,

    Pipelife International GmbH, Plastika AS, Polypipe Plc, Royal Pipe Systems, Sekisui Chemical Company Ltd.,

    Shin-Etsu Polymer Co Ltd., Tessenderlo Group, Thai Pipe Industry Co Ltd., TigreSA Tubos e Conexoes, Uponor Corp.,

    and Wavin N.V.

    Market data and analytics are derived from primary and secondary research. Compa

    ny profiles are primarily based

    upon search engine sources in the public domain.

    >>>Indian Pipe Industry:-India has become the global pipe manufacturing hub especially of SAW pipes primarily due to its

    lower cost, high quality and geographical advantages. Additionally, Indian companies have acquired global accreditations

    and certifications which make them preferred suppliers to most of the worlds topoil and gas companies in the Middle East,

    North America and Europe. CARE Research believes that once the global economy returns to sustained growth, the domestic

    pipe industry is expected to accelerate into high growth trajectory.

    As per CARE Research, Indian pipe manufacturers will be greatly benefited when Exploration & Production (E&P) projects

    for oil and gas companies which were previously stalled or revoked because of t

    he global financial crisis recommence

    their operations. This new spurt in demand will be positive for future growth.

    CARE Researchs report on Indian Pipe Industry gives valuable insight of the industry on global and domestic capacities,

    demand-supply gap analysis of domestic market, export market for domestic companies, replacement demand, competition

    and commentary on top industry players. We have reported demand break-up withineach segment of steel pipes like SAW,

    ERW and Seamless pipes. For SAW pipes, our demand forecasting is derived from several upcoming pipeline projects

    expected in India and globally coupled with the replacement demand. For ERW pipes, which are primarily used for

    City Gas Distribution network, we have calculated our demand based on several ongoing natural gas pipeline projects

    in India. For Seamless pipes which are extensively used for E&P projects; our demand is based on onshore and offshore metreage drilled.

    Additionally, we have detailed analysis on PVC and HDPE pipes which have becomepreferred material in the construction

    industry and several government projects. The cost analysis and pricing information presented in the report will help the

    reader identify the critical cost items and their trends. The company overview section in the report provides detailed

    profiles of the top seven players in the industry, including their financial and operational data and product range.

    The report also provides manufacturing process and technical aspects in the industry overview section.

    The report provides CARE Researchs outlook and challenges on Indian pipe industryfor the next 3-5 years along with

    a detailed demand break-up within each sub-segment of steel pipes. CARE Researchhas developed a robust methodology

    for forecasting domestic demand. It takes into account several initiatives takenby the Indian government to provide

    basic water supply and sanitation and also emphasizes on oil and gas sector whic

    h serves as a backbone to the pipeindustry as a whole.

    There are two types of methodologies and their differences are:-

    1) Quantitative Research Methodology &

    2) Qualitative Research Methodology

    Researchers are often faced with the decision of choosing the methodologythat best suits their study and objectives.

    There are both advantages and disadvantages and strengths and weaknessesto quantitative and qualitative research

    methodologies. In the end, the researcher needs to make a choice of which option works best for the particular

    study at hand.

    Statistical Data:-

    Quantitative research relies mainly on statistical information and numbers.The researcher usually takes a look at

    large samples of groups of people. These numbers are then analyzed to findcorrelations among the data. For example,

    if the statistics show that certain health behaviors, such as junk food, lead to more cases of diabetes, then the

    researcher concludes that there is a causal link between the two variables.

    Data Analysis:-

    Qualitative research is usually more time-consuming as it may involve analyzing longer descriptive passages or

    descriptions instead of numbers. In these cases, the researcher investigates attitudes, experiences and personal

    opinions of a smaller group of people but in more detail. The information will not necessarily provide statistical

    information but rather give insight into different processes and explain r

    easons. For example, the researcher

    wants to find out why people turn to destructive behaviors and analyzes each participant's response carefully to

    draw her conclusions.

    Surveys and Questionnaires:-

    Each methodology has its own tools for gathering information. Surveys and questionnaires that include multiple-choice

    questions work best for generating quantitative data. These surveys can be ad

    ministered on the street, over the phone

    or via mail. They usually target a large number of people so that the findings become statistically more relevant and

    reliable.
