EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM MARKET OVERVIEW

The global edge protection system market size is expected to grow from USD 0.44 billion in 2024 to USD 0.67 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the edge protection system market share in 2025.

An edge protection system is a wall system that protects the construction site’s edges from potential hazards such as fire, excavation, or any other destructive situations. It is inbuilt with a high-impact sheet of polycarbonate, which can be anchored to the existing wall’s top. This panel drops over one or both sides of the building when not in use to affect the views for pedestrians. It is used for protecting the building sites and concrete structures during construction. It offers safety to the people that work on the edge of the design. It can be made by using steel, concrete, or timber materials. It can be defined as a structural barrier used to protect a structure or area from materials on edges and falling objects such as ledges, roofs, and others. 

It is also known as EPS (Edge Protection System) and offers security from potential dangers such as natural hazards or accidents such as landslides, hailstorms, earthquakes, and others. It ensures the general public’s safety. The market has various types of product available such as steel and timber. These two are the most used EPS as it ensures extra strengths. These factors may surge growth in the market. It is used in infrastructure projects for protecting the edges from various hazards and impacts. 

COVID 19 IMPACT

Shut Down of Construction Activities Retarded Market Growth
