Growth in Construction Activities and Infrastructure Projects is Driving the Aerial Work Platforms Market Growth

The growth in construction activities and infrastructure projects significantly drives the aerial work platforms market growth due to the specific requirements and advantages offered by these platforms. Construction projects often involve work at elevated heights, such as installing structural components, roofing, or facade work. Rapid urbanization and the rise in population drive the need for new housing, commercial spaces, and infrastructure. For instance, Saudi Arabia is planning to become one of the largest construction sites in the world, with approximately US$ 1.1 trillion of investment in infrastructure and real estate projects. These infrastructure and real estate development projects include Neom Super City, King Salman Park, Diriyah Gate, The Red Sea Projects, Jeddah Economic City, and Jeddah Central Projects. As cities expand, the construction of high-rise buildings and large-scale projects necessitates AWP for safe and efficient construction. AWPs provide a safe and efficient means for workers to access these elevated areas. As construction projects become more complex, with taller buildings and intricate structures, there is a growing need for equipment that can provide increased vertical reach. Boom lifts and scissor lifts, which are common types of AWPs, are designed to meet these requirements. AWPs are versatile and can be used for a wide range of construction tasks. These platforms are used while painting, doing electrical work, HVAC installation, or general maintenance, as they provide a flexible solution for accessing various work areas. As construction activities and infrastructure projects expand, the demand for aerial work platforms grows in tandem, driven by the need for safe, efficient, and versatile solutions for working at elevated heights. Thus, the growth in construction activities and infrastructure projects drives the aerial work platforms market.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on type, the global aerial work platforms market share is segmented into scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, vertical mass lifts, and others. Aerial work platform products are designed to manage the lifting as well as shifting of the loads/items from one to another. The size of these platforms depends on their specific application. Rising awareness about the advantages of using platforms with different accessories among end users drives the aerial work platforms market worldwide.

Regional Analysis:

In North America, the robust development in the construction industry is a significant driver of the aerial work platforms market, as it relies on AWPs for building construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects. The emphasis on workplace safety, efficiency, and adherence to regulations amplifies the widespread adoption of AWPs. Several factors drive the aerial work platforms market in the region, including the mounting demand for infrastructure development, rising demand for renovation and repair work, and rapid urbanization. Challenging factors include economic fluctuations that can impact construction activities, and capital expenditures are expected to restrain the growth of the aerial work platforms market in the coming years. Additionally, there are challenges related to stringent safety regulations, driving the need for continuous innovation and adherence to evolving standards, which, in turn, are expected to hinder the aerial work platforms market growth during the forecast period.

In addition, the energy sector is one of the most significant users of aerial work platforms for various applications, such as maintenance of power infrastructure and utility installations, which is expected to fuel the aerial work platforms market growth in the coming years. Mining operations in Peru and Chile utilize these platforms to access elevated areas in challenging terrains. As per the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Chile is the top producer of copper in the world, accounting for 5.2 million metric ton in 2022. In addition, Chile is the second-largest producer of lithium, with 30% of total global production in 2022. Hence, the mining industry in Chile is anticipated to fuel the growth of the aerial work platforms market in the coming years with the rise in demand for lithium and copper mining from the energy industry.

As industries prioritize safety and efficiency, the demand for aerial work platforms is anticipated to grow, driven by the need for versatile solutions across diverse sectors in the region.
