Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year. The report presents the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a disruption in the growth of the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Stringent safety regulations are driving market growth. Safety gear is required to prevent accidents at construction sites. Therefore, governments of several countries have implemented stringent safety regulations, which have increased the use of scaffolding. According to OSHA, 2.3 million workers in the US work on scaffolds. Therefore, employers are required to provide proper training to workers who erect or dismantle scaffolding. OSHA has also set standards that define the requirements for designing and constructing scaffolds at construction sites.
Scaffolds should be designed by qualified professionals to ensure a good foundation and avoid electrical hazards. The Government of Australia has imposed the Australian/New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS 1576.1:2010) for scaffolding, which mandates the general requirements for scaffolding in construction sites. Hence, the presence of stringent safety regulations will drive the demand for construction scaffolding. This, in turn, will propel the growth of the global scaffolding market during the forecast period.
Improved productivity and safety is a significant trend in the market. The timely delivery of construction projects has a positive impact on a construction company. It reduces the possibility of overhead costs due to delays. Scaffolding is a crucial part of construction, maintenance, and repair activities. The reduction in the time required to prepare the scaffolding structure lowers the lead time and ensures the timely completion of construction projects.
Many scaffolding providers follow techniques that improve productivity and safety, thus reducing erection time and providing the required safety. For instance, Layher offers Allround Scaffolding, ideal for complex architectural buildings and simple constructions. Its connecting technology enables construction companies to reduce the lead time required for the erection of the scaffolding. The technology also adheres to regulations related to scaffolding erections. The use of such products improves the productivity and safety of workers. This, in turn, is expected to support market growth during the forecast period.
The high prices of raw materials are challenging market growth. Some of the key raw materials used in the production of scaffolding are steel, aluminum, and wood. The prices of these raw materials have been fluctuating in recent years, which has increased the production cost. As a result, the price of scaffolding has increased, making it unaffordable for many customers.
Steel is the most commonly used raw material in the production of scaffolding. However, its price has been rising due to factors such as tariffs and trade tensions between various countries. For instance, the US has imposed tariffs on steel imports from China, which has led to a shortage of steel in the global market. Similarly, the price of aluminum has been rising. The increasing demand for aluminum in the automotive and aerospace industries has led to a shortage of its supply. These factors will impede the growth of the global scaffolding market during the forecast period.

The supported segment was valued at USD 19.04 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Supported scaffolding systems are used for a wide range of applications, such as construction, maintenance, and repair projects. They are also used in infrastructure construction projects such as bridges, tunnels, and highways. Supported scaffolding systems can be further categorized into various types, depending on their design and configuration. Some of the common types include frame scaffolding, tube and clamp scaffolding, and system scaffolding. Several governments are investing in improving public infrastructure. The increasing demand for infrastructure projects and the modernization of existing structures will further drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
By end-user, the market has been segmented into construction, ship building, electrical maintenance, and residential. The construction segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. Scaffolding is an integral part of the construction industry, as it allows workers to work at different elevations. Scaffolds are used in the construction of new buildings. They are also used in infrastructure such as bridges and flyovers. Scaffolds can be used for different purposes, such as access towers of manufacturing plants. The construction of new buildings is increasing globally. The growing volume of trade further necessitates the demand for infrastructure improvements. Therefore, governments of several countries are investing in infrastructure improvements. These factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

The market in APAC is dominated by China, followed by India and Japan. Rapid urbanization is fueling the demand for new construction. The scaffolding market has grown steadily in Japan, as the government has been investing in improving infrastructure. The Chinese government is also investing in the development of smart cities. In addition, the government of Indonesia is inviting private investors to develop the country's infrastructure, which will increase the demand for construction scaffolding. Therefore, the increasing investments in industrial and infrastructural development will drive the growth of the market in APAC during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the global scaffolding market in 2020, as all construction activities were halted during the lockdowns. However, operations in the construction industry resumed in 2021 due to the easing of lockdown restrictions and the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination drives across the world. Thus, the growth and recovery of the global economy and the rising demand for scaffolding from the construction industry will drive the growth of the global scaffolding market during the forecast period.
