Manhole Covers Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2026
Manhole
covers or pit lids or access covers are used to close the openings of
manholes or pits in order to prevent people and unwanted materials
from falling into manholes and to avoid people from injuring
themselves. Manhole covers are manufactured in a variety of shapes
such as circular, rectangular, etc.. Materials that are used for
manufacturing manhole covers include metals (cast iron, ductile iron,
and steel), concrete (conventional concrete and steel fiber
reinforced concrete), and composites (FRP/GRP and others). Metal and
concrete are the most widely used materials for making manhole
covers. However, manhole covers made from these materials are heavy,
bulky, and result in a number of occupational injuries of the
personnel involved in the installation and repair of these covers.
Moreover, metal covers are often stolen in a lot of areas and sold
for profit. These issues are addressed by composite manhole covers as
they have a high strength-to-weight ratio and have zero scrap value.
They are, therefore, the emerging type of manhole covers across the
world.

Report Overview @
Based
on product, the global manhole covers market has been segmented into
metal covers, concrete covers, and composite covers. Metal covers
were the earliest type of manhole covers used. They were replaced by
concrete covers, which addressed the issue of theft. However, they
failed to reduce the incidence of occupational injuries. Composite
covers address both of these problems. They are light in weight,
offer superior strength, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. They
are corrosion resistant and easy to install. Composite covers are
made from recycled and reinforced resins that have a zero scrap value
and are far less likely to be stolen as compared to metal covers. The
composite covers segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace
during the forecast period.
Composite
manhole covers with their superior properties are being adopted in
place of metal and concrete manhole covers. With a rise in
construction activities across the globe, the manhole covers market
is also expanding. The demand for composite covers is especially high
and is estimated to increase at a high rate in the near future.
In
terms of application, the global manhole covers market has been
categorized into municipal, industrial facilities, commercial
facilities, utility pits, and others. Manhole covers are classified
into different load classes depending on their load bearing capacity.
They are used for different applications depending on the load class
a particular application falls in. Areas such as airports, docks,
etc. are exposed to heavy loads on the manhole covers.
The
global population is growing at a rapid rate, which necessitates
better municipal and civic amenities to serve people. With the
increase in population, the construction and infrastructure
industries are also expanding steadily. Increase in urban
construction and construction of roads and facilities such as
airports is expected to require higher use of manhole covers. Hence,
growth of the construction sector offers an opportunity for the
expansion of the manhole covers market. Moreover, rehabilitation of
old and damaged infrastructure offers opportunities to the manhole
covers market, especially in the composite covers segment. The
composite covers segment is projected to expand at a significant pace
in the coming years.
Based
on region, the global manhole covers market can be categorized into
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and
Latin America. Europe is estimated to be a significant region of the
manhole covers market. North America is another prominent region of
the manhole covers market. Rise in demand for manhole covers in
Europe and North America is likely to be slow as these are already
mature regions of the market. Composite covers is a prominent segment
of the market in Europe as composite manhole covers were adopted in
the region far before their introduction in other regions.
Asia
Pacific and Middle East & Africa are anticipated to be rapidly
expanding regions of the manhole covers market during the forecast
period. Improving economic conditions in developing countries are
expected to improve civic and municipal amenities. This would, in
turn, increase municipal construction activities in the region, and
hence, the consumption of manhole covers. Demand for manhole covers
is expected to be high in the develoing countries of Asia Pacific.
Economic growth in the region and expansion of end-use industries
such as oil & gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, and telecom are
boosting demand for manhole covers in Middle East & Africa. These
regions are projected to create lucrative opportunities for
manufacturers in the next few years. The composite covers segment of
the market in Middle East & Africa is projected to expand at a
high CAGR during the forecast period. This is because composite
covers are being extensively used in a number of new construction
projects in the region.
