Temporary Guardrail Market Growth & Trends

The global temporary guardrail market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.51 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is driven by the expansion of industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and logistic centers which require safety measures to ensure the safety of workers in construction and maintenance tasks, as well as during their operations. Temporary guardrails provide fall protection to workers in industrial settings. This, in turn, contributes to the demand for such safety equipment.

The growth of the temporary guardrails market is highly impacted by the fluctuations in raw material prices, disruptions in the supply chain of products and raw materials, and geopolitical conflicts among countries. As the key major raw material used for the production of temporary guardrails is steel, its costs are impacted by the variations in the global production of crude steel. Moreover, trade policies related to steel, and supply and demand gap also affect the global prices of steel.

Furthermore, rising energy prices are expected to act as a challenge for the market. This factor is expected to significantly hinder the growth of the temporary guardrail market over the forecast period. In addition, many firms are compromising the quality of their completed products to compensate for their losses due to the volatility in raw material and energy prices. However, poor-quality products that rust, fracture, or break quickly due to climate change may harm the reputation of manufacturers and pose a barrier to market development.

There are several temporary guardrail manufacturers operating in the market including Ellis Manufacturing Company Inc., Safety Rail Company, Engineered Fall Protection, Safety Rail Source, and Unistrut Service Company. Some of these players are forward integrated in the value chain as these directly cater to the end-users in the market. The product manufacturers procure raw materials from the suppliers and manufacture guardrails. These manufacturers also maintain long-term relationships with raw material suppliers in order to ensure consistent supply.

Many market players with regional presence are involved in forward integration, i.e., they manufacture the products as well as directly sell their products to end users. In addition, the market players also maintain their own e-commerce websites to reach a wide audience and eliminate the involvement of middlemen or distributors. This helps them in saving money, gain market share and increase their profit margins.
