Felling Heads Market Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking - Global Review 2019 to 2029

Global Felling Heads Market: Introduction

Rapid changes in technology mean purpose-built felling heads for use with a variety of carriers, are constantly being updated by manufacturers. Felling heads are highly productive attachment made for cutting and harvesting by providing maximum versatility and productivity.  Felling heads are attachments built to be mounted either to a boom or to the chassis on a base carrier. Also, a felling head with a bar saw is a grapple attached perpendicular to the grapple. Felling heads are capable of cutting trees and controlling the direction of fall. In the future, the demand for advanced forest technology is going to grow because the population will grow. The standard of living will improve in many parts of the world and consumption of different kind of processed wood in a form of paper are set to vary. Consequently, positive prospects for felling heads are foreseen during the forecast period.

Subsequently, the study aims to analyze the most recent trends, dynamics, and potential strategies in the global felling heads market.

Global Felling Heads Market: Dynamics               

The demand for felling heads including new sales and retrofit is notably influenced by the demand for harvester equipment. In addition, the global production of industrial roundwood is expected to grow moderately over the coming years, mainly driven by global increase in residential construction and increase in paper production in developing countries. Moreover, felling heads market is anticipated to forge ahead with increasing forestry mechanization ratio in each region. Additionally, by 2025, the global demand for forest machines to reach a new peak and thereby, facilitating the demand for felling heads.

At a macro level, the utilization of wood-based energy has many economical influences; national, regional and company economics, providing a thrust to the felling heads market growth. Moreover, felling heads manufacturers are investing heavily to develop compact, lightweight, enhanced accumulation area, low operating cost, and high productivity felling heads.  Additionally, supply dislocations, forest fires, cold winters, railcar delays, natural disasters, and other developments led to extreme volatility in the felling heads market.

Global Felling Heads Market: Regional Outlook

Forestry mechanization ratio in Europe, North America, and Oceania is expected to remain stable, however, set to grow in Asia. Subsequently, offering lucrative opportunities for the market development of felling heads. The need for advanced forest technology is significant in Central and Southern Europe because of harvesting in slopes, the need for thinning, increasing amount of energy wood, and harvesting of deciduous trees. Subsequently, manufacturers of felling heads are likely to benefit from the growing trend towards new forestry machines in the region. Moving ahead, the manufacturers of felling heads see Africa as an interesting opportunity.

Nonetheless, prevailing problems in an operational environment such as poor level of infrastructure and poverty impact the felling heads market significantly. Global growth in the timber consumption are varied, with the U.S., Canada, Europe, and China all expected to post gains and Russia and Japan seeing small declines. Felling heads demand to remain subdued in India due to regulations as companies are not permitted to own land and therefore cannot develop their own plantations. Lastly, among ASEAN countries - Indonesia and Vietnam are expected to continue growing due to rising urbanization and disposable incomes, bolstering the demand for felling heads in the foreseeable future.
