Aerial Equipment Market: Overview

Aerial equipment is mechanical devices that provide lift access for operators to inaccessible areas, with objects generally above two meters. Rapid urbanization has caused an increased number of infrastructure projects and dependence on machines has caused the aerial equipment industry to flourish. Additionally, increasing investments made by the local body administration in the industrial sector such as building airports and stadiums are giving vast opportunities for the aerial equipment industry.

The construction industry’s growth over the years backed by strict labor laws along with supportive government regulations are the real motivating factors for the market over the upcoming years. Due to the existing demand and less time for completing construction projects, the market for mobile cranes is increasing. However, high capital investments in industrial lifting equipment can cause a decline in the growth of the market over the forecast period. All the more, increasing advancements in equipment to enhance product capability and operational performance will propel the demand in the aerial equipment market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The entire world was forced to go on a shutdown, causing all the labor-intensive activities to come to a saturation point, due to the outbreak of the pandemic. Due to the government regulations to save the people from the pandemic, there emerged a compulsive need to mechanize the labor-dependent work sectors. Factors like the shortage of labor and raw materials resulted in several problems in the development & design department of new equipment. All of this created a drastic gap in supply and demand, impacting the revenues of market players. Many factories were shut down, and cross-countries trade restrictions were imposed, therefore production was at stake in the aerial equipment market.

Aerial Equipment Market: Growth Factors

Increasing technological advancements and the growing need to cope up with the change in a supply-demand chain, lack of labor, and work efficiency requirements have worked in favor of the aerial equipment market. Furthermore, the local government’s extensive support in bringing smart city schemes into action has caused rapid urbanization. This in this case led to a movement and a steep increase in construction contracts.

There was a pressing need to complete construction contracts with utmost efficiency; which would not be possible without Aerial equipment for hassle-free work. The Construction industry across the globe is expected to revive the construction equipment industry revenue. Hence the global aerial equipment market is also growing. Growth in the construction industry, government regulations, and strict adherence to human safety concerns are some of the other factors driving the growth of the global aerial equipment market.
