Global Concrete and Road Construction Equipment Industry Outlook
The growing number of smart cities will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market concrete and road construction equipment market. This will draw a large population to the urban areas and major metropolitan cities, which will increase the congestion in the cities. The increasing urban population has put a strain on existing urban services, such as public transport and road networks. This has led to the increase in the number of smart cities to accommodate the increasing urban population. The majority of road networks in these smart cities are expected to have concrete paved roads since they can reduce the fuel consumption of vehicles. This will, in turn, fuel the market’s growth prospects in the coming years. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will generate a revenue of more than USD 4 billion by 2021.
The emergence of smart concrete materials will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the concrete and road construction equipment market during the next four years. Smart concrete can detect shortcomings of conventional concrete and acts as a sensor in finding flaws in it. Smart concrete also helps in detecting the internal condition of concrete roads after any disasters, such as earthquakes. Additionally, they can aid in easing transportation by heating the road surface and melting the ice on it during heavy snowfall and can also assist in measuring the speed and weight of vehicles.
