Market Buoyancy Analysis

A vacuum excavator is a device used for the removal of pipe blockage to ensure easy movement of fluid. During this process, high pressure of water or air is applied which clears the debris present in the pipe. The vacuum excavator is of 2 types and utilizes water or air as suction pressure.

Vacuum excavators are utilized over a wide range of areas where pipe replacement is an issue. This reduces the cost of pipe replacement and prevents unnecessary digging indirectly preventing soil erosion.

• Short Term (2023-2026): Growing industrial equipment market and expanding end-use industries create a multitude of avenues that are drives vacuum excavator sales.
• Medium Term (2026-2029): Flourishing mining industry and increased construction activities to sustain the growing population, especially in India and China will boost the demand for vacuum excavators.
• Long Term (2029-2033): Initiatives by the market players to introduce new technologies and improved adaptation rate by municipalities instead of pipe replacement will drive the vacuum excavators demand in the long run.

According to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the vacuum excavator market is projected to exhibit growth at 6.3% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.

Market Dynamics Overview

“Launch of Advanced Vacuum Excavator Trucks Is Propelling Market Growth”

Vacuum excavators are designed to bear heavy loads, for cleaning up the area and taking material for recycling and recovery. The leading market players are continuously spending on research and development of products to make the operation simple and easy.

These trucks are designed to give a rugged performance to the customer whenever needed. Even in poor conditions, the new type of truck continues to perform. Because the new type of truck is sturdy and dependable, it is being adopted at a quick rate all across the world. Suctioning, discharging wet, displacing, and moving dry, wet, and hazardous chemicals are all possible with air vacuum mover trucks with cyclone separators built for heavy industry applications.

“High Cost and Risks Associated with Hydrovac Technology to Limit Its Expansion”

Utilization of vacuum excavators during daylight is an efficient process as most of the vacuum excavation utilizes water of high efficiency which can create problems when used at night due to lower visibility.

The pressure of water is around 1,500 psi to 4,000 psi which can damage lighter materials such as gas lines and fiber optic cables. Also, the availability of other tree-cutting tools such as axes and spades may pose a threat to the market. The availability of low-cost labor emphasizes the deployment of traditional cleaning equipment in the commercial sector.

The high cost of the vacuum excavator machine does not offer all the consumers to buy the product and the maintenance cost is high as the product operates under high pressure and water force which sometimes leads to the breakage of some parts of the machine which results in the involvement of new product rather than rebuilding the product. While operation through pipe replacement is time-consuming but has less capital expense and does not require trained professionals for this purpose.

Country-wise Insights

Will the U.S. Remain a Lucrative Market for Vacuum Excavator Suppliers?

The United States has one of the largest construction sectors in the world with a completely new value increase in construction since the global financial crisis. The United States has more than 20 million miles of subterranean utility wires, according to the Common Ground Partnership.

An estimated US$ 30 billion USD are spent annually on repairs for underground electric, water, gas, and telecommunications cables and the figures are going up. This has led to a rise in the need for hoover excavators in subsurface utility work.

The US vacuum excavator market is estimated to account for a 17.5% revenue share of the global vacuum excavator market by 2023 and will grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.

Booming Mining Industry to Drive Vacuum Excavators Sales in China

Demand for vacuum excavators in China is gaining momentum on the back of the flourishing mining industry. Vacuum excavators are in high demand due to the expanding infrastructure market and projects for residential and commercial buildings. China is among the world’s leading producers of more than 20 metals. China has around 40,000 mines which produce over US$ 400 billion every year.

Vacuum excavation is extremely popular in the mining industry due to the complexity of underground utility systems, debris, and the necessity to prevent accidents, injuries, and damages. This is because vacuum trucks offer effective and targeted solutions. Moreover, vacuum excavators can be used to clean up construction and mining sites.

Due to such favorable factors, China’s market for vacuum excavators is expected to grow from US$ 166.6 million in 2023 to US$ 307.5 million in 2033 creating an absolute $ opportunity of US$ 149.3 million between 2023-2033.
