 Growing construction industry across both commercial and residential sectors is expected to boost demand for piling machines during foundation works. Rapid urbanization and development of infrastructure especially in emerging nations of Asia and Latin America offer lucrative opportunities for players in this market.  Increasing investments by various governments around the world for rail and road construction projects can drive the market growth.

Infrastructure development

The rapid pace of infrastructure development activities all around the world has emerged as a key driver propelling the growth of the global piling machine market. Governments across both developed and developing regions are aggressively investing in the development of transportation networks such as roads, highways, bridges and railways. These are also constructing dams, harbors, ports and other mega infrastructure projects at an unprecedented scale. Since piling works form an integral part of the foundation for any large infrastructure structure, it boosts demand for sophisticated piling machine solutions.

Over the past few years, there has been a particular focus on upgrading aging infrastructure in Western countries like U.S., U.K. and Germany. South East Asian economies are embarking on ambitious plans to develop smart cities and transport connectivity. China's Belt and Road Initiative that encompasses construction of roads, railways and ports across several countries can offer growth opportunity. The implementation of these large-scale infrastructure schemes requires construction of robust and long-lasting foundations, which can only be achieved through reliable piling techniques. This is significantly driving the sales of various piling machine types including driven piles, drilled shafts, CFA piles, bored piles and others. Equipment rental companies as well as piling contractors are proactively adding newer piling machine models to their fleets to capture projects related to national infrastructure overhauls. For instance, on February 28, 2021, Sany India, a global leader in the construction equipment industry, launched its first 'Made in India' Piling Rig, the 'SR235,' for the Indian market. Manufactured at Sany's state-of-the-art facility in Pune, Maharashtra, the SR235 supports the government's 'Make in India' program with its best-in-class features.

Urbanization

Rapid urbanization worldwide ia also expected to drive the market growth. With more people migrating to cities in search of employment and better standards of living, urban centers across developing nations are expanding at a rapid pace. This has dramatically increased the construction of residential and commercial buildings including high-rises and smart townships. Reliable foundation support is paramount for the safety and longevity of tall structures, which spurs the use of piling installations. Swelling urban populations boosts the development of mass transit systems and roads within cities. Mega projects such as metros, flyovers and underpasses also create large-scale demand for sophisticated foundation laying equipment.

Governments are keen to promote organised development of urban centers with increased floor space indexes. This has upped the construction of multi-level basements and underground parking facilities that hinge upon piling structures. The shifting focus towards smart cities and green buildings enforces strict safety and sustainability mandates, which piling solutions can address well. For instance, in October 2021, Junttan, a Finland-based company, introduced the PMx2e rig, featuring two detachable 396kWh battery packs that replace the counterweight and a 266kW electric motor, offering between 8 and 13 hours of use depending on project requirements.
