Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Asphalt pavers are a type of construction equipment used to place asphalt on the roads, bridges, airport roads, and parking lots. Asphalt road surfaces are cost-efficient and offer many benefits. These asphalt pavers lay the asphalt flat with minor compaction before compressing with a roller. These pavers play an important role in road construction and development. Many roads in various regions are made with asphalt which use of asphalt pavers owing to increased number of advantages.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the asphalt paver industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the asphalt paver market significantly from last year, as is likely to continue during 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in 2020 and is likely to impact the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by COVID-19, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
- Further, the potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and the financial recovery of companies is based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond to immediate crises and new ways of working in post COVID-19.
Top Impacting Factors
The rise in construction activities globally in addition to the huge spending on the maintenance of roads and highways drives the development of the global asphalt paver market. In addition, a surge in focus on creating user-friendly, energy-efficient, and low-emission construction equipment is also expected to positively contribute to the asphalt paver market growth. Further, the surge in demand for asphalt pavers in the construction sector is driving the market growth. Moreover, increase in traffic with continuous improvement of roads and highways fuels the market growth. However, high maintenance and high heating issues of the machine are some harmful effects hamper the market growth of the product. On the other hand, technological advancements such as electrical pavers and the need of sustainable products are providing growth opportunities for the market.
Market Trends
