According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Utility Markers Market is accounted for $349.4 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $676.7 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. Utility markers follow the consistent colour codes established by the relevant Public Works Association authorities of the place because it may be difficult to keep track of exactly what is buried underground on a worksite. In addition to correctly identifying subterranean conduits, cables, and pipes as well as the owners and descriptions of the related facilities, various utility marking codes were employed after the establishment of the universal colour code.
The telecommunications sector has been growing quickly because of the rise in connectivity requirements, technical improvements, and the widespread use of mobile devices. Significant technological advancements like 5G networks, cloud services, AI, edge computing, and IoT are also boosting the rate of expansion of the global telecommunications sector. The telecom utility infrastructure is the essential component on which the telecoms sector ongoing operations depend. Hence, this is the factor propelling the growth of the market.
There is a pervasive lack of understanding of the importance of utility detection in many developing and emerging economies. This is particularly common in sparsely inhabited areas where small-scale subcontractors and people routinely finish building projects without the essential knowledge or understanding of the benefits of utility detection prior to excavating. The public's safety is greatly endangered by haphazard building and excavation work that can result in accidents and permanently damage underground utilities like water and sewer pipes.
Governmental entities and other utility service providers put the majority of water, wastewater, communications, gas, and power pipes beneath the surface level in both commercial and residential sites to ensure uninterrupted delivery. Governments all across the world have passed laws and regulations requiring utility identification and modeling in advance to avert situations like these. Therefore, it is anticipated that mandates and regulatory requirements will increase market demand.
There are several products on the market for utility location and detection, including GPRs, RF cable & pipe locators, metal locators, and electromagnetic utility locators, which can directly identify and find different kinds of subterranean utilities. Some underground ball marks are susceptible to disturbance from outside sources, such as backfill dirt, or when they are improperly put. This will have an adverse effect on their location precision, detection power, and produce inaccurate readings.
The utilities markers market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic-related decline in the world economy has also had an impact on utility marker demand. The disruption in supply chain management has been one of the biggest problems the utility utilities market has had to deal with throughout the pandemic. The movement of products has been significantly impacted by the lockdowns and travel restrictions implemented by numerous nations. This has caused a lack of raw materials, which has affected the creation of new markers, as well as delays in the supply of utility markers.
The disk markers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Disc markers offer dependable marking solutions that are affordable and effective for both major and minor sites of subterranean line constructions. They therefore offer a practical labelling option for utilities including gas, power, telephone, and water. The detection of subsurface utilities such gas pipes, optical and communications cables, sewage pipelines, power cables and water pipelines is frequently done using these indicators.
The water & wastewater segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Utility markers, such as ball and tape markers, are more typically used to mark and locate valves, plastic pipes, buried service drops, tees, conduit stubs, main/service couplings, and clean-outs in water and wastewater applications. Nations all around the world are constantly building and improving their water and wastewater pipeline networks to ensure that the water supply operates efficiently.
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, owing to the significant investments in the development and maintenance of utility infrastructure in the region. The region's market is anticipated to increase as a result of the rising demand for utility markers in the infrastructure and construction industries and the strict government rules governing the safety of buried utilities.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period, due to the increasing investments in infrastructure development in emerging economies. The market is anticipated to increase because to the expanding building activities, the necessity for safety, and the prevention of damage to subsurface utilities. Due to the growing awareness of buried utility safety and the requirement to follow government laws, the market for utility markers is also anticipated to increase in these areas.
