Market Trends of Tower Cranes Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Tower Cranes Market according to our research experts:
The 5T and 10T Lifting Capacity Segments Lead the Market
With rapid urbanization, the need for tower cranes is expected to increase during the forecast period. The 5T and 10T lifting capacity cranes are expected to be the most used type in construction activity, due to the broad spectrum of uses these cranes can offer. Also, most of the material that needs lifting from the crane falls under this category and has also led to these segments leading the market during the forecast period.
The availability of different designs for this lifting capacity category has attracted a lot of interest and attention from potential buyers and contractors of different agencies and countries. The increased demand for these machines in several sectors like energy, oil, and gas, and port-material handling requirements is another major advantage for this category of cranes.
Also, the high tip hoisting capacity offered by the 10T capacity cranes is an attractive characteristic for buyers looking for heavyweight hoisting up over huge heights
The lower emissions from these cranes and the ease of usage in terms of adding and removing the crane bars for the flexible height of the crane is another advantage.
Asia-Pacific Is The Leading Market
Asian countries are primarily driving =the demand for tower cranes due increase in infrastructure development activities and the development of high-rise commercial and residential projects across Asia-Pacific. Several infrastructure developments being undertaken by governments and many other private firms have been a major driving force to increase the demand for tower cranes. Singapore, for instance, has a huge infrastructure development program initiated by the government, which is another contributing factor to the demand for tower cranes.
India is also witnessing multiple infrastructure development investments from the government, which can be a factor in the requirement of tower cranes for various tonnages and lifting capabilities across the country. These machines' heavyweight lifting capacities, as compared to other conventional options, will boost their use, particularly in urban construction activities.
ASEAN is witnessing an infrastructure boom, with major projects approved in Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. In several cases, these have been facilitated through loans and other assistance provided by other major economies, like India, Japan, and China. Several rail and road projects are expected to further add up to the demand for tower cranes in the ASEAN countries over the forecast period. For instance,
- In March 2021, the Thai Government is set to sign three contracts in connection with the Thai-Sino high-speed train project between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima. Additional three contracts, including civil works for the Ban Pho-Phra Kaew section, civil engineering works along the Bang Sue-Don Muang section, and works between Don Muang and Nava Nakhon will also be signed after the preparation of the documents.
- Jakarta-Bandung is a proposed high-speed rail project in Indonesia, connecting the capital city of Jakarta to the textile hub of Bandung. The project is being developed by PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China, a joint venture formed between a consortium of Indonesian state-owned companies and China Railway International.
Considering such developments, tower cranes market in Asia-Pacific is likely to witness a steady and consistent growth over the forecast period.
