Tubes and Pipes - UK - December 2015

“Continued investment by the utility sectors, albeit now at lower levels than in the post-privatisation period, combined with stronger demand from the manufacturing sector and particularly the highly cyclical construction sector, are contributing to growing demand for tubes and pipes. The construction sector, as always, is exaggerating GDP development, and for this reason prospects for the tubes and pipes sector are strong.”

– Terry Leggett, Senior Analyst
