Scaffolding Market Trends




  • The growing construction sector boosts the market growth




As per market dynamics, the expanding demand from the residential construction sector is driving the market. Scaffolding is usually necessary for the infrastructure sector. Additionally, the new kind of high rail constructions most urgently require scaffolding. The Asia-Pacific region is well-known for its high trail construction. It makes it simple for construction workers to carry goods to a building's top floor. The scaffolding provides a stair-like framework to support the entire construction process. Demand from the construction sector would be the main factor driving the growth of the scaffolding market revenue.

On the other hand, a sizable number of unorganized firms are active in the market in rising nations, including South Africa, Russia, Brazil, China, and India. According to market statistics, in India alone, traditional scaffolding is used in almost 95.0% of construction projects. Customers prefer low-cost scaffolding because it is less expensive. After all, the construction industry in developing economies requires a lot of cash. Therefore, these factors have a negative impact on the market, mainly in emerging economies, and are slowing the sector's expansion.


According to market research, another reason driving the market is the expansion in response to rising consumer demand for home remodeling and replacement. For instance, according to a January 2021 article from Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, home renovation and repair expenditures are predicted to rise from 3.5 percent at the end of 2020 to 3.8 percent by the end of 2021. Therefore, such expansion has recently enhanced the market CAGR.


Scaffolding Market Segment Insights




  • Scaffolding Type Insights

Additionally, rolling scaffolding is frequently chosen for short-term operations that must be completed at numerous places over a greater distance. It is mostly employed in the mechanical and electrical sectors.




  • Scaffolding Material Insights




The scaffolding market data has been bifurcated by material into steel, aluminum, wood, and others. The sector for aluminum scaffolding is anticipated to increase at the fastest rate throughout the anticipated period concerning the scaffolding market revenue. With its lesser weight than steel, aluminum is frequently used in scaffolding that can be physically raised and positioned.


December 2021: Aditya Birla Group's metals flagship, Hindalco Industries Ltd., reached a binding agreement to buy Hydro's aluminum extrusions business in India for Rs 247 crore. Hydro's Kuppam plant has a 15,000-ton capacity for aluminum extrusions and superior value-added capabilities for surface treatment and fabrication. This acquisition has further broadened the growth opportunity for the scaffolding industry.


The second fastest-growing segment in the scaffolding industry is bamboo scaffolding. Steel is outperformed by bamboo in terms of tensile strength. Additionally, it is fully environmentally friendly and far more affordable to use.




  • Scaffolding Application Insights




Based on application, the scaffolding market outlook has been segmented into the construction industry, electrical maintenance, temporary stage, and others. In 2021, the construction industry dominated the market. It is used in support structures, grid systems, portable stages, seating, and barriers. It can be used for cleaning, construction, maintenance, and renovation operations. It is extremely important to the construction business. According to the market forecast, the temporary stage segment will see the fastest growth. This growth can be attributable to the growing preference for the overall appearance of the infrastructure. Hence, rising applications of temporary staging positively impact market growth.




  • Scaffolding Regional Insights




By region, the study provides market insights into Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific's scaffolding market accounted for USD 20,185.1 million in 2021 and is estimated to exhibit a significant CAGR growth of 42.10 percent during the study period. With their widespread availability and affordability, bamboo and hardwood plyboards are extensively utilized in this region to create formwork and scaffoldings. The accessibility of raw resources and the affordability of labor are boosting market revenue growth. As an illustration, the minimum salary for contract employees in India is an average of USD 148 per month (Rs 10,000). Moreover, China's scaffolding market held the largest market share, and the Indian scaffolding market was the fastest-growing market in the Asia-Pacific region.


Furthermore, the major countries studied in the market report are the US, Canada, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.

The North American scaffolding market accounted for the second-greatest revenue share in 2021, resulting from ongoing developments and improvements in the concrete and formwork industries. Businesses are expanding internal innovation and efficiency while developing new value opportunities for their current and potential customers, fueling the market's revenue growth in this area. For instance, CEMEX aggressively promotes innovation in the building industry. CEMEX's Digital Innovations in Motion program includes its efforts to innovate its business offering, back-office functions, and smart manufacturing.


In 2021, the Europe scaffolding market had the third-largest revenue share, thanks to increased research activities for creating novel formwork components. For instance, ETH Zurich researchers have created a system of 3D-printed formwork components to generate a pattern of empty cells throughout the slab by setting them inside mold used to manufacture pre-cast concrete panels. They are constructed of recyclable mineral foam. As a result, less concrete is needed throughout the construction process. Further, the German scaffolding market held the largest share, and the UK scaffolding market was the fastest-growing market in the European region.
