In today’s construction and plumbing industry, the choice of piping plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, durability, and long-term efficiency. Among the most reliable materials, Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPRC) pipes have become a preferred solution for hot and cold water systems across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
With Pakistan undergoing rapid urban development and infrastructure upgrades, the demand for high-performance piping is on the rise. PPRC pipes are now considered a standard in modern construction, especially in cities where growth is accelerating.
In this blog, we explore the top cities in Pakistan where demand for PPRC pipes is growing fastest, and how Plasco Pipes is supporting this nationwide expansion with its quality product line and trusted network.
Why PPRC Pipes Are in Demand
Several key benefits make PPRC pipes the go-to choice for modern piping needs:
Heat Resistance: Ideal for both hot and cold water systems, making them suitable for diverse climatic conditions.
Corrosion Resistance: PPRC pipes are immune to rust, scaling, and chemical reactions, ensuring a clean water supply and longevity.
Durability and Safety: Long service life with high pressure tolerance and hygienic performance.
Versatility: Widely used in homes, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial plants.
Sustainable Infrastructure: Increasing government and private sector adoption for smart city projects, energy-efficient buildings, and eco-friendly plumbing.
These benefits make PPRC pipes essential to cities that are scaling rapidly, both in population and in construction.
Top Cities in Pakistan with High Demand for PPRC Pipes
a. Karachi
As Pakistan’s largest metropolis and financial capital, Karachi leads the nation in construction and infrastructure projects. High-rise apartments, shopping malls, housing societies, and industrial facilities all demand reliable plumbing systems. With high water usage and long pipe runs, PPRC is preferred for its strength and heat resistance.
b. Lahore
In Lahore, rapid expansion in upscale areas like DHA, Bahria Town, and Gulberg has triggered soaring demand for modern plumbing. Developers favor PPRC pipes for new housing projects, thanks to their energy efficiency, ease of installation, and lower maintenance. Vertical housing trends further accelerate their adoption.
c. Islamabad / Rawalpindi
The twin cities are seeing a boom in real estate with high-end apartments, hotels, and commercial buildings. In sectors like F-6, G-13, and the Blue Area, the demand for high-grade piping systems is increasing. Plasco’s PPRC pipes are particularly favored for luxury projects due to their aesthetic fittings and long lifespan.
d. Faisalabad
As an industrial hub, Faisalabad requires robust piping solutions not only for residential colonies but also for textile mills, chemical factories, and water treatment plants. PPRC pipes provide resistance against chemical corrosion, making them a reliable choice for industrial applications.
e. Multan / Bahawalpur
Southern Punjab is witnessing a new wave of public housing and infrastructure development. Mega projects and private housing societies are now using PPRC pipes in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems. Plasco’s product line fits well into the modern engineering designs used in this region.
f. Peshawar / Abbottabad
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s colder climate creates unique challenges for plumbing systems. PPRC pipes, known for thermal stability and crack resistance, are ideal here. With residential demand increasing in Hayatabad, University Town, and surrounding districts, PPRC usage is rapidly growing.
Market Insights & Statistics
While precise city-wise data may vary, industry trends point to:
A 15–20% annual increase in the use of PPRC pipes across urban developments.
PPRC now holds a major share in new construction plumbing, replacing traditional GI and PVC pipes.
Feedback from Plasco distributors highlights that Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are the most active markets, followed by rapid growth in Tier-2 cities like Faisalabad and Multan.
