A snow pusher is a machine equipped with a curved and perpendicular moldboard oriented in the direction of motion, with side walls on either side to capture and push snow in the desired direction. These machines are utilized for clearing roads or areas where snow impedes the movement of vehicles or pedestrians, featuring properties like abrasion-resistant skid shoes.
The main types of snow pushers include steel-edge, rubber edge, pull-back, turf pusher, and V-plow. Steel-edged snow pushers are specifically designed for removing snow from uneven or hard-packed surfaces. They are constructed with steel components for effective snow removal. Different sales channels for snow pushers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. These machines find applications in various settings such as roads and streets, railways, and airports.
The snow pusher market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides snow pusher market statistics, including snow pusher industry, snow pusher global market size, regional shares, competitors with a snow pusher market share, detailed snow pusher market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the snow pusher industry. This snow pusher market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The snow pusher market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.68 billion in 2024 to $2.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased incidence of snowfall and harsh winter conditions, growth in urbanization and infrastructure development, need for efficient snow removal in residential and commercial areas, emphasis on road safety and accessibility during winter months safety and accessibility, demand from municipalities, airports, and commercial property owners, regulatory compliance and mandates for snow removal.
The snow pusher market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of environmentally-friendly snow removal solutions, expansion of winter tourism and skiing industry, research and development in autonomous snow removal technologies, need for quick response and timely snow clearing operations, emphasis on ergonomic designs and operator comfort in snow pushers, growth in demand for multi-functional snow pusher attachments. Major trends in the forecast period include telematics and gps integration, adjustable blade configurations, hydraulic and electric actuators, anti-icing and de-icing technologies, smart sensors for surface detection.
The anticipated increase in accidents is set to drive the snow pusher market in the foreseeable future. Accidents, defined as unforeseen incidents causing damage or injury, become more prevalent during heavy snowfall, leading to slippery roads and reduced tire grip. The risk of accidents, including car skidding, is mitigated by the use of snow pushers, which aid in clearing snow from roads. In 2022, the National Safety Council reported 813 deaths and 1,718 injuries resulting from 69,473 weather-related incidents, with 159 fatalities and 351 injuries attributed to winter conditions. The growing awareness of public safety is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the snow pusher market.
The growth of transportation and logistics networks is expected to propel the snow pusher market in the coming years. These intricate networks, vital for supply chain connectivity, rely on efficient snow removal from roads, highways, airports, and other transportation infrastructure. Snow pushers play a crucial role in maintaining accessibility during adverse weather conditions. According to the United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) recorded a 1.7 percent growth from May to June, reaching its highest recorded level. Over the year between June 2021 and June 2022, the index saw a 4.6 percent increase. The expansion of transportation and logistics networks remains a key driver for the snow pusher market.
Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend in the snow pusher market, with major companies concentrating on innovative solutions to enhance road safety and infrastructure cleaning. SnowEx Products, a US-based manufacturer of snow pushers, introduced the POWER PUSHER plow line featuring TRACE edge technology. This system comprises two-foot sections that move vertically, sway, and bounce to accommodate curves and obstacles in the plowable surface. The plows also feature a 3/4'' cutting edge with carbide insertions, ensuring durability for commercial use, along with self-leveling side plates to maintain contact with the plowable surface.
Major companies are prioritizing strategic partnerships to diversify their product portfolios. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For example, The Toro Company, a US-based manufacturer of snow removal equipment, announced a strategic alliance with Lowe's Companies Inc. in September 2023. This partnership aims to offer Toro zero-turn riding mowers, portable power equipment, walk mowers, and snow blowers through Lowe's, a prominent home improvement-focused retail enterprise.
For instance, in 2022, The Toro Company, a US-based maintenance firm, acquired Voigt-Smith Innovation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at enhancing The Toro Company's market presence and expanding its product offerings in the landscaping and outdoor equipment sector. Voigt-Smith Innovation is a US-based manufacturer that specializes in producing a variety of products, with a primary focus on custom-engineered solutions.
