Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Barrier Systems Market

The global barrier systems market has witnessed a slight negative impact throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak impacted almost every industry in multiple ways including major obstructions in supply chain combined with delay in the ongoing projects across the globe. Contrary to this, majority of the leading companies operating in barrier system manufacturing such as TrafficGuard, a key player in bollard production, are developing new products, amidst the COVID-19 crisis.  For instance, in February 2021, TrafficGuard has officially released, ‘TrafficGuard Core-In Protection Systems’, a new product line. The Core-In system is an ideal solution for storefronts and businesses; it is less expensive and provides quick installation. These novel product offerings may lead to attractive opportunities for investors, post the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global Barrier Systems Market Analysis

Barrier systems significantly help in decreasing vehicle collisions along with ensuring the safety of pedestrians. Also, in recent years, advanced barrier systems have been available in the marketplace which are equipped with automated control panels and mainly help in minimizing traffic congestion. Hence, the adoption of barrier systems across the globe has massively increased, which may further accelerate the global industry, in the coming years.

However, the low consumer awareness, higher cost, and interoperability and system integration issues are some major restraining factors that may create negative impact on the global barrier systems market.

New, innovative barrier systems technologies are helping make roads safer for the drivers. Key developments have been made in barrier design that ensure that the vehicles are redirected into the roadway, with minimized risks for pedestrians. Moreover, companies such as PEXCO, a U.S. based leading plastic extrusion firm, are coming up with novel innovations. The company now provides new ‘DP 200 EFX City Post’ barrier systems that mainly offer high performance and a slim, sleek profile. Such technological advancements are further expected to create extensive opportunities in the global barrier systems, in the coming years.

Global Barrier Systems Market, Segmentation

The global barrier systems market is segmented based on type, technology, material type, application, and region.

Type:

The type segment is further classified into bollard, fence, drop arm, crash barrier, gates, and others. Among these, the crash barrier is predicted to have the maximum market share and it is expected to cross $7,876.9 million by 2028, with the rise from $5,808.8 million in 2020.

The increasing awareness about road safety along with the effectiveness of roadside barriers is bolstering the global crash barrier systems market. Also, key factors such as Less maintenance required, decreased traffic jams and congestion, and supportive government initiatives are further expected to increase the adoption of crash barrier systems, which may ultimately propel the subsegment’s growth, during the analysis period.

Material Type:

The material type segment is further divided into metal and non-metal. The metal sub-segment is expected to have a dominating share in the global market and generate a revenue of $13,631.9 million, during the forecast period.

Metal barrier systems provide road infrastructure with revolutionary temporary barrier solution which mainly serves superior protection. Also, these barriers are cost-effective, lightweight, and excellent substitute to the traditional concrete barriers. Hence, the acceptance of metal barrier systems is increased, which may further accelerate subsegment’s growth, in the coming years.

Technology:

The technology segment is further fragmented into rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible. The flexible sub-segment is expected to have the highest growth in the global market and generate a revenue of $4,620.7 million by 2028.

Flexible barrier systems are highly suitable for commercial and industrial environments majorly owing to the wide range of applications such as in vehicular traffic, the protection of machinery or storage assets from the accidental impact damage, and the segregation of pedestrians.

Application:

The application segment is further classified into railways, roadways, airport, and others.  Among these, the roadways subsegment is expected to have a largest share and is projected to surpass $11,457.3 million by 2028, with the increase from $8,357.5 million in 2020.

Implementation of road safety programs combined with extensively increasing number of road accidents worldwide are some of the major reasons for the massive adoption of barrier systems. Moreover, growing demand for effective crowd management solutions like vehicle parking areas, entry and exit, and pedestrian safety are also flourishing the subsegment’s growth.

 Region:

The barrier systems market for the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have a lucrative growth. This market generated a revenue of $3,574.1 million in 2020 and is further estimated to cross up to $5,036.4 million by 2028. The notable development of the commercial real estate, along with modification of the transport infrastructure across the Asian countries namely India, China, and Japan may foster the market growth, throughout the analysis period.

North America region dominated the barrier systems market in 2020 mainly owing to the high economic growth combined with growing government investments in infrastructure and construction development specifically in the U.S. and Canada. Also, companies operating in the regions, like Valmont Industries, Inc., a publicly held American leading manufacturer of highway safety products are coming up with novel innovations. For example, in December 2019, Valmont Industries, Inc. officially showcased the ‘HighwayGuard LDS’, a MASH 16 TL-3 steel barrier. It is built with T-connector, which significantly offers rapid installation, as well as separation of the barriers.
