The surging consumption of energy is notably driving the utility poles market growth, although factors such as rise in trend for underground cables and wiring network may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the utility poles industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Utility Poles Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global utility poles industry growth is the surging consumption of energy. Utility poles are primarily used to support and carry electricity lines, distribution lines, and sub-transmission lines. Power transmission and its distribution are key applications and play an important role in maintaining electricity networks; in this process, power is transferred from power stations to regional substations and further to homes or facilities of end consumers. In addition, utility poles are used in the communication sector to carry coaxial cables for television broadcasting and fiber optic cables for telecommunication lines. Thus, such factors are anticipated to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Utility Poles Market Trend
Increased demand for power generation, owing to population growth and rapid urbanization and industrialization, is one of the key utility poles market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Urbanization and industrialization are inextricably linked, and thus with the rise in the urban population, industrial activities will gain traction. The need for new manufacturing plants and the expansion of existing plants will rise, and consequently, the demand for electricity will also escalate. In addition, meeting the demand for power is important for the socio-economic development of a country. Thus, billions of dollars are being invested in the development of power distribution networks to increase the electrification rate across the world, which will facilitate market growth in the coming years.
Key Utility Poles Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global utility poles industry growth is the rise in the trend for underground cables and wiring networks. The government regulations, industry standards, and building codes imposed by international organizations affect the generation of electricity and its applications. For instance, following the implementation of the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act in the US in 1978, the generation of electricity started shifting from public utilities to industrial firms and non-utility generators. In addition, the EU had set an energy-saving target of 20% by 2020. To achieve this target, the EU imposed a few policies, such as the following:
The above policies mandate the use of high-grade copper and steel, which raises the manufacturing costs and reduces vendors' profit margins, which may limit market growth during the forecast period.
