Mechanical Anchor Market Size, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2022-2027

Anchors are used to connecting structural elements of base material to masonry and concrete in buildings and structures. The basic purpose of an anchor is to provide a means of attachment between two or more separate elements. Mechanical anchors use friction to anchor themselves in place. They are used to expand in diameter when they are pushed into the hole. This expansion grips the base material tightly and causes the anchor to be firmly wedged in place.

In the year 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic hit hard the construction industry. Supply chain disruption, suspension of infrastructure and commercial projects, limited demand for new buildings, labor and material shortages, and lockdowns across the world were some of the major consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. The mechanical anchor market was no exception to it and the impact of the pandemic has been recorded across the supply chain including the demand for mechanical anchors, with a decline of -9.0% in 2020.

However, the market got recovered from the disruption brought by the COVID pandemic in the year 2021 due to a revival in consumer confidence, economic recovery, inline construction and infrastructure projects, and supply chain on track. The mechanical anchors market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 2.8 Billion in 2027. Major factors, such as the growing construction industry and increasing spending on infrastructure development are likely to be the major demand generators for mechanical anchors during the forecast period. In addition, rapid urbanization and industrialization, population growth, and a rise in disposable income are further expected to fuel the growth of the mechanical anchors market. 

Segments' Analysis

Based on the product type, the market is segmented as expansion anchor, screw anchor, undercut anchor, and others. Expansion anchor is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period, owing to extensive usage in concrete and masonry substrates. In addition to that, increasing demand from various end-users due to reliability and wide applicability is further expected to propel the demand for expansion anchors during the forecast period.  

Based on the substrate type, the market is segmented as concrete, masonry, natural stone, and others. Concrete is expected to remain the largest segment of the market during the forecast period. Concrete is the most commonly used construction material as it poses high compressive strength and durability.

Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as infrastructure, commercial, residential, and industrial. Infrastructure held the largest share of the market, due to increased spending on infrastructure projects, a boost in infrastructure development, especially in emerging economies, coupled with urbanization, and economic expansion.

In terms of regions, Europe is expected to remain the largest market for mechanical anchors over the forecast period. Major factors such as increasing construction activities, growing disposable income, and rapid urbanization and industrialization are driving the region’s market. In addition to that, Europe is home to leading players such as Hilti Group, Wurth Group, and Fischer Group. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the same period due to major factors such as growing construction projects in the developing economies, rapid economic growth, and increasing population.
