Key Factors Driving Market Expansion
Rise in Construction Activities
The global construction sector is witnessing heightened demand due to increasing urbanization and economic expansion. According to World Bank data, urban population levels have surged from 3.5 billion in 2010 to 4.4 billion in 2022, driving demand for infrastructure and high-rise buildings.
Government Initiatives Boosting Demand
Infrastructure development projects are a crucial driver of market growth. For instance, the Government of India’s affordable housing scheme has resulted in the construction of 10 million housing units between 2019 and 2024. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative has allocated $1.3 trillion in 2024 to residential and commercial infrastructure development.
Growing Demand for Scaffolding Rentals
The construction industry’s high initial investment requirements have led to a rise in scaffolding rental services, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for small and medium-sized contractors. This model eliminates upfront investment costs while addressing project-specific scaffolding needs.
Energy Infrastructure Development
As countries worldwide push toward green energy, large-scale projects requiring scaffolding solutions are on the rise. The U.S. government’s offshore wind project (15 GW target), Germany’s offshore wind initiative (30 GW target), and India’s nuclear power expansion plan (tripling capacity by 2030) are notable examples fueling demand in the sector.
Emergence of Modular Scaffolding
The rising demand for modern and architectural construction is driving interest in modular scaffolding solutions, which offer improved flexibility, ease of transportation, and reduced labor costs. Industries such as oil, gas, and chemical manufacturing are adopting these scaffolding types due to their enhanced safety and versatility.
“Scaffold providers that offer modular scaffolding can offer solutions that cater to diverse project requirements, enhance worker safety, and contribute to more streamlined and sustainable construction practices.”
Companies are actively expanding their portfolios to meet tThis demand. For example, in May 2024, Doka launched its ringlock modular scaffolding in Australia, further expanding its market reach.
Regional Market Insights
Asia Pacific is leading the market with the highest revenue share in 2023, followed by Europe and North America. The region is expected to continue its dominance with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Key projects include:
- Philippines: Three major infrastructure projects by NLEX Corporation in 2024.
- Indonesia: A record-high infrastructure budget of $26.48 billion in 2024.
- Vietnam: Long Thanh International Airport development, valued at $14.5 billion, set for completion in 2025.
- Singapore: Changi Airport Terminal 5 expansion, a $10 billion project slated for completion by 2030.
The increasing government focus on infrastructure expansion and economic development is significantly influencing scaffolding demand across these regions.
Competitive Landscape and Market Innovations
Key players in the construction scaffolding industry continue to adopt innovative strategies, including new product launches, strategic partnerships, and global expansion. Recent industry developments include:
- "ULMA Construction Canada and Bird Stairs Announced Strategic Partnership Agreement.”
- "ULMA participated in the construction of the Warsaw Museum of Modern Art.”
