Demand Analysis of Shank Hooks (2017-2021) Vs. Forecast Market Outlook (2022-2032)

Being a moderately consolidated market, newer entrants are challenged by the fierce competition existing between frontrunners, which offsets the little opportunity that exists to get established as one of the prominent players in the short term.

Besides, the manufacturing of shank hooks, including straight shank hooks, long shank hooks, shank clips, long shank circle hooks, long shank treble hooks, long shank jig hooks, open shank treble hooks, eagle claw long shank hooks, and even plain shank hooks requires setting up of sophisticated industrial equipment, which again poses a financial hurdle for new shank clip & hook suppliers with limited cash in hand. However, the overall market stands lucrative creating an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 21.4 Mn over the assessment period (2022-2032).

• Single-forged hook type segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period.
• On the basis of workload, 200-500 ton shank hooks are projected to dominate the market by accounting for over 20% share by 2032.
• The market in Europe is projected to grow 1.4X during forecast period.
• Machined shank hooks are expected to garner an absolute $ opportunity of nearly US$ 7 Mn by 2032.
• North America is estimated to account for 25% revenue share of the global market by 2032.

What’s Driving the Market for Shank Hooks?

“Logistics & Transportation Sector Boost to Drive Product Advancement”

Logistics and transportation are two key industries where shank hooks are being widely used, since these industries comprise huge rigging and lifting operations. Use of various control systems, which are backed by technological advancements, make rigging and lifting operations easier.

This automation is expected to impact demand for shank hooks and their accessories such as hoist chains, shackles, and others. Use of shank hooks is also done to increase efficiency, reduce time in the supply chain, and decrease overall cost. Warehouse management and logistics is expected to notice a huge rise in the coming years, which will further drives sales of shank hooks.

“High Accuracy & Durability Accelerating Sales of Shank Hooks”

Lifting systems are known for their high speed and ability to do the job continuously at a very high rate. Hence, they are increasingly being used in all applications where speed and efficiency are important factors and the need to perform the same operations repetitively is very high.

Shank hooks are finding more and more application because of their streamlined and productive outcome in construction, energy, manufacturing, automotive, logistics, recovery vehicles, and several other sectors.

Moreover, the operational life of shank hooks is considered to be excellent and the return on investment is also considered to be good. Lifting equipment such as shank hooks turn tedious maneuvering operations into easily accomplishable operations, providing higher output with exceptional accuracy.

What are the Potential Restraints Limiting Shank Hook Sales?

“Emergence of Automatic Lifting Hooks to Dent Market Surge”

Technological advancements such as automatic lifting hooks, which can be used as a substitute for shank hooks, are expected to have a negative impact on the sales of shank hooks during the forecast period.

Automatic lifting hooks are still at a nascent stage; however, advantages such as ease in usability due to remote hooking and unhooking, ease of using convenient slinging method for different applications, and use of magnetic systems that will increase the efficiency and safety in different lifting operations are driving their demand.

Automatic lifting systems also come with a sensor, which notifies the user about the ring position, and enhances safety, making them viable for heavy-duty loads. Automatic lifting hooks are currently used for a working load limit up to 40 tons. These features are expected to hamper shank hooks market growth.
