Market share analysis of bucket trucks based on lifting capacity and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the lifting capacity segment, the above 1000 Kg sub-segment dominates with 42.4% market share in 2022.

What’s Driving Demand for Bucket Trucks?

“Rental Construction Equipment Companies Flourishing on the Back of Stable Economic Situations will Drive Growth”

A wide number of initiatives are being taken in the commercial sector to improve the safety of operators and encourage manufacturers to invest in the development of scissor lifts. Adoption of boom lifts is expected to increase in the coming years owing to initiatives being taken by associations and regional governments. This has resulted into more number of rental companies in industry.

Algeria, Morocco and South Africa are at the forefront in the list of high growth of bucket truck market where construction and logistics are well-developed. Moreover, in South Africa, the rental concept is more developed than anywhere else in Africa. Another factor attributing to the growth of bucket trucks market is that these regions have more stable economic situation than in other African countries, which encourages companies to build a reliable dealer network.

“Safety Standards Revaluation Will Encourage the Widespread Adoption of Aerial Work Platforms”

Bucket trucks market has undergone considerable amount of restrictions over the recent past. Post this, massive restructuring effort and greater emphasis has been placed on safety regulations which eliminate the need to use risky rope access and other conventional methods, such as scaffolding. In saturated markets, such as Western Europe and North America, technologically advanced equipment is perceived to be the best bet for any job.

In effect to this, OSHA and other associations have developed and made amendments to several standards, which are encouraging the adoption of aerial work platforms and thus driving their growth in the market. Japan is known to lay a great emphasis on safety standards and due to the presence of a large number of OEMs in the country, it requires a large number of AWPs for a wide variety of applications.

What Do Bucket Trucks Manufacturers Need to Watch Out for?

“High Pricing – One of the Predominant Challenges for Bucket Truck Market”

The main challenges in the bucket trucks market are political, economic and regulatory in nature. In the Middle East & Africa, companies that intend to increase their market share face difficulties, such as underdeveloped infrastructure and shortage of qualified workers/operators.

Despite a moderate increase in the use of bucket truck, markets in the MEA have been observing purchasing of used equipment which impedes the sales of new equipment.

Market introduction of bucket truck is facing three primary challenges such as consumer awareness & understanding; pricing; and safety concerns. Lack of awareness could hamper the market of aerial work platforms. Further, bucket trucks with increased features cost relatively higher than conventional ladders and towers.

Subsequently, the number of end users in developing countries and nations are relatively lower than developed countries. Additionally, lack of technological advancements in countries of the South East Asia , Middle East & Africa will decelerate the growth of the bucket truck market in the region.

Category-wise Insights

Will Market Growth Be Led by Insulation Type Bucket Trucks?

An industrial vehicle that carefully maneuvers around complicated electrical cabling is called an insulated bucket truck. The insulated bucket truck has better technology and a greater level of protection since it is more useful than a regular aerial platform truck.

Beside from performing the basic duties of a conventional aerial platform vehicle (with the exception of extra-large tonnage lifting), an insulated bucket truck can also work while the power is still on, for example, while changing transformers, wires, or cable clips without turning off the power.

Insulated bucket trucks with dielectric fiberglass coating prevent electricity from flowing through the boom, which can damage the equipment or potentially electrocuting the operator. Increased demand for bucket trucks from the utility sector will facilitate growth opportunities for insulated bucket trucks. The insulated bucket trucks market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period. However, with consistent demand, the market for insulated bucket trucks is expected to be valued at US$ 617 million by 2032-end.

Is Non-Insulated Bucket Truck Up Surging in Sales?

The bucket truck market is segmented into insulated and non-insulated models based on type. The low price of non-insulated bucket trucks is causing them to become more popular. The market share of non-insulated bucket truck was around 71.7% in 2021. These vehicles are primarily made for utility personnel and anyone who work close to electrical cabling. Non-insulated bucket trucks are built using fiberglass and other dielectric materials to stop electricity from conducting. Due to non-insulated bucket truck is up surging, the non- insulated bucket truck is likely to reach the valuation of US$ 1,247.5 million.
