Traditionally, only wooden poles have been used in the utility sector, which are now gradually replaced by steel poles. The steel content profile was certified as a green commodity in 2013. Currently, composite material poles are showing better benefits over both steel and wood poles, and the global market could see the likelihood of composite poles replacing steel poles in the next 20 years. This is mainly due to the longer lifetime and better benefits of carbon poles. Nevertheless, the current market for utility poles is driven primarily by wood and steel poles and their demand is growing dramatically across the globe. The global market for utility poles is extremely developed in nature and is expected to show moderate growth during the forecast period.
Increased energy demand and the extension of current power networks are the main drivers of this market's growth opportunities. Governments from underdeveloped or developing countries are mainly looking forward to an increase in the rate of access to electricity, which requires heavy spending in the electricity sector to build up the total electricity network. As a consequence, countries such as Mexico, Nigeria, and Africa are anticipated to see new investment in service services in the coming years.
In the forecast period, the wood sector holds the largest market share in 2018 and is projected to be the largest market by the material. The demand for distribution poles accounted for the largest market share of utility poles in 2018 by type, Height of poles between 40 ft and 70 ft, poles are widely embraced poles and also created the highest revenue in 2018 by pole height, utility poles from 40 ft. To 70 ft. Are used in both electricity storage and energy distribution projects. The electricity transmission and distribution group accounted for the largest market share in 2018 by its applications.
North America will have enormous potential for retail holders to expand in the coming years.
Asia-Pacific emerged as the global market leader in 2018 among all countries. This can be highly credible due to the presence of extremely populous countries such as India and China, which are creating enhanced demand for electricity and increasing the rate of access to electricity across the world. The development of power transmission networks in response to the growth in energy is also a key factor in creating healthy demand for electricity in the country.
The North American utility pole market is expected to grow significantly, to $16,167.4 million, to 3.2% CAGR during the forecast period, and to raise from $12,529.6 million in 2018. Development is due to a rise in electricity consumption across the world, creating a significant number of power poles to provide electricity to customers, which is expected to drive the development of the electricity pole industry in the North American region.
Asia-Pacific led the global market for utility poles and accounted for a bulk of the market share for utility poles of 39.1% in 2018 and is predicted to lead during the forecast period. There is a massive demand for electricity across the country due to the huge population. This factor will drive the growth of the business in this area. Asia-Pacific is expected to reach 23,020.6 million dollars by 2026.
Product development and joint ventures are the most successful approaches adopted by market participants.
Some of the approaches, such as mergers and acquisitions, global extensions, product launches, and R&D spending, are embraced by key players to improve their role in the overall utility pole market. Product development and joint ventures are the most successful approaches adopted by market participants. Skipper Ltd., El Sewedy Electric Company, Stella-Jones, Omega Factory, RS Technologies Inc., Valmont Industries Inc., Nippon Concrete Industries Co. Ltd., Hill & Smith Holdings PLC, FUCHS Europoles GmbH, and Pelco Products Inc. are some of the major market participants analyzed and profiled in the global utility pole sector.
