Analysts’ Viewpoint on North America Loading Platforms Market Scenario
Rapid industrialization in developing and developed countries is driving the North America loading platforms market size. Loading platforms are increasingly used in chemical and freight transportation industries to assemble, install, and relocate equipment, materials, and structures. Several countries in North America are investing significantly in infrastructure development due to rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth. Increase in construction and manufacturing activities is anticipated to boost the demand for loading platforms during the forecast period. Prominent companies in the market are investing significantly in R&D activities to expand their product portfolio. They are also signing strategic partnership and M&A deals to increase their loading platforms market share in North America.
Loading platforms are constructed to load or unload goods and materials. They help protect workers against falls while unloading and loading heavy goods. Loading platforms are designed to transfer materials and vehicles from the service area to the internally raised floor of the warehouse. Loading platforms in the construction sector are fixed on single foundation columns to provide straightforward and safe access to the top of tankers and rail cars. They are manufactured to meet operational requirements and environmental conditions. Truck loading platforms, loading dock platforms, mobile loading platforms, forklift loading platforms, telescopic loading platforms, and various loading dock equipment are available in the market.
The U.S. is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial goods and products. Expansion in the manufacturing sector in the country is likely to boost the demand for loading platforms during the forecast period. Additionally, the U.S. continues to attract significant foreign investment, particularly from manufacturing companies. These companies increasingly rely on power-driven machines and material handling equipment for various operations. As of 2022, there are approximately 718,796 manufacturing enterprises in the U.S., a 3.8% increase from that in 2021. The number of enterprises in the manufacturing industry in the country increased by 3.8% annually on average from 2017 to 2022. Rise in demand for bow loading systems in the oil & gas market is also anticipated to drive the market in the next few years. Bow loading systems are used to transfer petroleum products from a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel to a marine shuttle tanker.
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have prompted governments in North America to bolster their investments in the infrastructure sector in the region. In October 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP), announced a US$ 703 Mn plan to fund 41 projects in 22 states and one territory in order to improve port facilities across the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, construction investment amounted to around US$ 1.18 Trn during the first eight months of 2022. This expenditure was 10.9% above the US$ 1.06 Trn investment for the same period in 2021.
In terms of type, the North America loading platforms market has been bifurcated into fixed loading platform and retractable loading platform. The retractable loading platform segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Expansion in freight transportation is a key factor fueling the segment. Retractable loading platforms are flexible and easy to install and operate. They also require less maintenance.
Based on application, the North America loading platforms market has been segmented into transport/storage, minerals & aggregates, food & beverages, bulk chemicals, and others. The bulk chemicals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in North America during the forecast period. Rapid industrialization and surge in construction activities are driving the segment in the region.
The U.S. held the largest value share of the North America loading platforms market in 2021. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Rapid growth in the construction sector is propelling the demand for construction site loading platforms in the U.S.
The market in Canada is expected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period due to the increase in adoption of material handling equipment across end-use industries in the country. Loading platforms help reduce turnaround time and enhance workplace safety in various loading and unloading activities in construction, transportation, and others industries.
The North America loading platforms market is consolidated, with a few large-scale vendors controlling majority of the share. Loading platform manufacturers, traders, and suppliers are focused on offering novel products that meet customer needs. Expansion of product portfolios and mergers & acquisitions are key strategies adopted by market players. Beacon Industries, Inc., Safe Harbor Access Systems, SafeRack, DOC Manufacturing, Inc., Medlin Ramps, McGuire, Pentalift Equipment Corporation, Carbis Solutions, Superior Handling Equipment, and Dockzilla Co. are prominent entities operating in this market.
Each of these players has been profiled in the North America loading platforms market report based on parameters such as company overview, financial overview, business strategies, product portfolio, business segments, and recent developments.
