Crash Barrier Systems Global Market Report 2024

The crash barrier systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.34 billion in 2023 to $6.71 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be credited to robust economic advancements in emerging markets, escalating construction endeavors, rapid expansion within the automotive sector, and the burgeoning development of infrastructure projects.

The crash barrier systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. Forecasted growth is due to increased traffic accidents, rising urbanization, and government backing. Key trends include new road safety barriers, focus on road zipper barriers, product innovation, tech advancements, and strategic partnerships.

The growth of the crash barrier systems market is expected to be propelled by increasing government investments in infrastructure development. The surge in government allocations for infrastructure projects has heightened the demand for effective crowd control solutions, particularly in areas such as car parking, entry and exit points, and pedestrian safety. These applications rely on crash barrier systems, encompassing elements such as bollards, swipe gates, drop arms, and guardrails. As an illustration, in 2021, the Indian government allocated substantial funds, amounting to Rs. 1.10 lakh crore (USD 15.09 billion), to propel 217 infrastructure projects. Consequently, the government's focus on infrastructure development initiatives serves as a driving force for the crash barrier systems market.

The growth of the crash barrier systems market is supported by the increasing number of traffic accidents. In response to the escalating figures of traffic-related fatalities and accidents, measures such as crash barriers, guardrails, and bollards have been deployed on roads and highways to enhance safety. The implementation of these safety measures has contributed to a significant reduction in accidents and fatalities. The demand for such safety measures is expected to rise, particularly in developing nations where road accidents are more prevalent. Notably, in the USA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 9,560 fatalities in traffic accidents involving motor vehicles in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the anticipated 8,935 fatalities for the same period in 2021. Consequently, the increasing incidence of traffic accidents is set to drive the crash barrier systems market.

Companies in the crash barrier systems market are concentrating on introducing new road safety barriers to bolster their product portfolios. Road safety barriers play a crucial role in efficiently managing traffic on roads, serving as essential tools to warn drivers and prevent them from taking incorrect routes. For instance, in May 2023, Ostrava, a Czech Republic-based manufacturer specializing in safety steel road and bridge barriers, unveiled two novel types of steel barriers. These barriers, designed to enhance passive safety despite increasing traffic density, successfully underwent testing against a 16-ton truck impact. Both barrier sets are constructed with nearly identical components, ensuring ease of assembly and the ability to conduct future safety barrier tests with varied beam profiles while maintaining consistency in other components.

A prominent trend in the crash barrier systems market is the strategic collaboration between companies. Manufacturers of crash barrier systems are actively engaging in partnerships and collaborations to harness new technologies and develop innovative products. For instance, in April 2021, The Benevento, Imeva group - a leading European entity in the design and production of road safety systems for the transportation industry and major infrastructure projects - entered into a significant partnership agreement with OBEX, an Irish company specializing in crash barriers. This collaborative effort strengthens the capabilities of both organizations, enabling them to provide top-notch products and services across global markets.

In July 2021, Perimeter Protection Group, a prominent Finland-based supplier specializing in barrier products for perimeter security and vehicle/pedestrian access control, acquired Avon Barrier, a UK-based company. The acquisition, valued at an undisclosed amount, serves the Perimeter Protection Group's strategic goal of expanding its presence in the crash barriers market. Avon Barrier, operating globally, specializes in vehicle barrier solutions, designing and producing various physical security solutions. Their offerings are dedicated to safeguarding critical infrastructure and public areas from potential threats posed by vehicles.
