Market Highlights
The lifting capacity of cranes and hoists is significantly influenced by ropes. Cranes are widely used in the port & maritime and construction industries. They are used for the process of loading and unloading, and shifting heavy containers. Similarly, in the industrial sector, hoists play an important role in day-to-day operations. For efficient load movement in industrial hoist applications, one or more ropes are used.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, frazzled the global economy, causing significant losses in almost every industry. The cranes & industrial ropes market was no exception. The wrath of the pandemic caused supply chain disruption, lockdowns, labor and material shortages all over the world. As a result, the cranes & industrial ropes market suffered a decline of around 13% in 2020. However, the market started to show signs of recovery in 2021, with strong growth of around 10%. Overall, the cranes & industrial ropes market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 3.3 Billion in 2027.
Market Segments' Analysis
Based on the application type, the market is bifurcated into port and maritime cranes, construction cranes, and industrial cranes. Construction crane is likely to remain the dominant segment of the market throughout the forecast period. Rising urbanization, increasing construction of high-rise buildings, a surge in investment towards infrastructure development, and economic growth in developing countries are the major factors behind the domination of the construction crane segment. Industrial cranes are likely to be the fastest-growing segment over the next five years, driven by growing automation in the industrial sector. The sub-applications of ropes for port and maritime cranes include mobile harbor cranes, ship-to-shore cranes, bulk unloader cranes, container handlers, ship lift, ship derrick cranes, floating cranes, and offshore cranes. Similarly, the construction crane segment is further bifurcated into tower cranes, telephonic mobile cranes, end-termination, truck-mounted cranes, crawler cranes, and foundation works, whereas, the industrial crane segment is sub-divided into overhead traveling cranes, steel works ladle cranes, steel works blast furnace skips, and steel works cold rolling.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into steel rope and synthetic rope. Steel ropes dominate the market as cranes deal with heavy loads. Synthetic ropes have gained some traction in the market in recent years and are expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period due to their lightweight property.
Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as OE and aftermarket. OE led the market with about two-thirds of its share in 2021. The segment is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. As ropes in cranes have a short life cycle, the aftermarket segment is expected to register higher growth during the forecast period.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for cranes & industrial ropes during the forecast period. The economic development in the region, coupled with rising urbanization, increasing infrastructure spending, expanding industrial sector, and a significant share of the region’s market in the shipping industry, are the major factors driving the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific. Europe and North America also have a fair share of the market and are expected to grow steadily during the forecast period. The major factors fuelling the growth of the North American and European markets are increasing infrastructure investments, the revival of the construction and shipping industries, and healthy growth in the industrial sector.
