Crash Barrier Systems Market Report 2025

The crash barrier systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.62 billion in 2024 to $6.97 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, the increasing construction activities, rapid growth of the automotive sector, and the increasing infrastructure development.

The crash barrier systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing number of traffic accidents, the rising urbanization, and the increasing government support. Major trends in the forecast period include the crash barrier systems market including the launch of new road safety barriers, focus on road zipper barriers, product innovations, technology advancement, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The rising government investments in infrastructure development are anticipated to drive growth in the crash barriers systems market. The increase in these investments has led to a heightened demand for effective crowd control solutions, such as car parking facilities, entry and exit points, and pedestrian safety measures, all of which utilize crash barrier systems including bollards, swipe gates, drop arms, and guardrails. For instance, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that total government investment in infrastructure rose by 9.6% in 2022 compared to 2021. That year, overall government spending on infrastructure reached £26 billion, with £19.3 billion (£26 billion) coming from the central government and the remaining £6.7 billion from local government. Therefore, government investments in infrastructure development are propelling the growth of the crash barriers 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.

Major companies in the crash barriers market are concentrating on innovation and advanced engineering in road safety equipment, such as the W Beam Crash Barrier, to meet the demand for reliable solutions in high-speed environments. A W Beam Crash Barrier is a type of road safety barrier with a 'W'-shaped cross-section, designed to effectively distribute impact forces and provide enhanced protection for motorists and pedestrians. For example, in August 2023, D G Road Safety Pvt. Ltd., an India-based safety equipment manufacturer, introduced a new range of road safety products, including the Highway Crash Barrier, which focuses on impact absorption and durability, the visually appealing Metal Crash Barrier, and the advanced W Beam Crash Barrier, which effectively distributes impact forces for improved protection. These innovative offerings demonstrate the company's dedication to enhancing highway safety and delivering high-quality solutions for both motorists and pedestrians.

In December 2023, Lagercrantz Group AG, a Sweden-based technology company, acquired Nordic Road Safety AG for an undisclosed sum. The purpose of this acquisition is to bolster traffic safety capabilities by integrating expertise and innovative products. Nordic Road Safety AG is a Sweden-based safety company that specializes in safety barrier systems and noise barriers.

Crash barrier systems encompass robust, low fences strategically placed along roads or between highway lanes, serving specific protective functions to prevent accidents. These systems, utilizing crash barriers - strong protective fencing - around racetracks or within dual-lane highways, aim to mitigate the risk of severe collisions.

There are two primary types of crash barrier systems such as portable and fixed. Portable systems act as sturdy barricades, directing pedestrian traffic and securing hazardous areas in warehouses, worksites, facilities, or events. These systems employ various technologies such as rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible barriers. The applications of crash barrier systems span across median barriers, roadside barriers, work-zone barriers, bridge barriers, and other relevant areas, providing comprehensive safety measures within transportation and infrastructure contexts.
