Snow Pusher Global Market Report 2024

A snow pusher is a machine equipped with a curved and perpendicular moldboard oriented in the direction of motion, with side walls on either side to capture and push snow in the desired direction. These machines are utilized for clearing roads or areas where snow impedes the movement of vehicles or pedestrians, featuring properties like abrasion-resistant skid shoes.

The main types of snow pushers include steel-edge, rubber edge, pull-back, turf pusher, and V-plow. Steel-edged snow pushers are specifically designed for removing snow from uneven or hard-packed surfaces. They are constructed with steel components for effective snow removal. Different sales channels for snow pushers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. These machines find applications in various settings such as roads and streets, railways, and airports.

This snow pusher market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The snow pusher market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.6 billion in 2023 to $2.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including an increased incidence of snowfall and harsh winter conditions, the growth in urbanization and infrastructure development, the need for efficient snow removal in residential and commercial areas, an emphasis on road safety and accessibility during winter months, demand from municipalities, airports, and commercial property owners, and regulatory compliance and mandates for snow removal.

The snow pusher market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.21 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the adoption of environmentally-friendly snow removal solutions, the expansion of the winter tourism and skiing industry, ongoing research and development in autonomous snow removal technologies, the need for quick response and timely snow clearing operations, emphasis on ergonomic designs and operator comfort in snow pushers, and a growing demand for multi-functional snow pusher attachments. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of telematics and GPS for improved tracking and management, adjustable blade configurations for versatile applications, the use of hydraulic and electric actuators for enhanced control, the incorporation of anti-icing and de-icing technologies for improved efficiency, and the implementation of smart sensors for surface detection, allowing for more precise and effective snow removal operations.

The anticipated increase in accidents is set to drive the snow pusher market in the foreseeable future. Accidents, defined as unforeseen incidents causing damage or injury, become more prevalent during heavy snowfall, leading to slippery roads and reduced tire grip. The risk of accidents, including car skidding, is mitigated by the use of snow pushers, which aid in clearing snow from roads. In 2022, the National Safety Council reported 813 deaths and 1,718 injuries resulting from 69,473 weather-related incidents, with 159 fatalities and 351 injuries attributed to winter conditions. The growing awareness of public safety is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the snow pusher market.

The growth of transportation and logistics networks is expected to propel the snow pusher market in the coming years. These intricate networks, vital for supply chain connectivity, rely on efficient snow removal from roads, highways, airports, and other transportation infrastructure. Snow pushers play a crucial role in maintaining accessibility during adverse weather conditions. According to the United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) recorded a 1.7 percent growth from May to June, reaching its highest recorded level. Over the year between June 2021 and June 2022, the index saw a 4.6 percent increase. The expansion of transportation and logistics networks remains a key driver for the snow pusher market.

Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend in the snow pusher market, with major companies concentrating on innovative solutions to enhance road safety and infrastructure cleaning. SnowEx Products, a US-based manufacturer of snow pushers, introduced the POWER PUSHER plow line featuring TRACE edge technology. This system comprises two-foot sections that move vertically, sway, and bounce to accommodate curves and obstacles in the plowable surface. The plows also feature a 3/4′′ cutting edge with carbide insertions, ensuring durability for commercial use, along with self-leveling side plates to maintain contact with the plowable surface.

Major companies are prioritizing strategic partnerships to diversify their product portfolios. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For example, The Toro Company, a US-based manufacturer of snow removal equipment, announced a strategic alliance with Lowe's Companies Inc. in September 2023. This partnership aims to offer Toro zero-turn riding mowers, portable power equipment, walk mowers, and snow blowers through Lowe's, a prominent home improvement-focused retail enterprise.

In October 2021, Douglas Dynamics, a US-based manufacturer of snow and ice removal equipment, acquired TrynEx International to expand its product portfolio. The acquisition added respected ice management equipment under the SnowEx brand, as well as turf application equipment (TurfEx) and industrial attachment items (SweepEx). TrynEx International, a US-based snow pusher manufacturing company, contributed to the growth and diversification of Douglas Dynamics' offerings.
