Scaffolding Services in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Unstable scaffolding: Industry revenue growth is expected to slow in 2023-24 due to rising inflation

Revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 2.1% over the five years through 2022-23 to £3.6 billion. Scaffolding contractors faced challenges during the pandemic as construction activity dipped 14.9% in 2020 according to the ONS, due to lockdown restrictions. However, as the industry recovers, initiatives to increase the number of homes being built drive residential construction. Despite renewed house price growth, the cost-of-living crisis and inflation have decreased spending on home improvements, resulting in reduced demand for scaffolding services.
