PIPE JACKING MACHINES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global pipe jacking machines market size is expected to be USD 0.66 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.61 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.4% during the projected period.

Pipe jacking, also known as micro tunnelling in smaller diameters, is a method of installing underground pipelines, ducts, and culverts. At the same time that extraction is going to take place within the shield, potent hydraulic jacks are employed to force specifically designed pipework through the surface behind the shield. As the tunnel is unearthed, the technique yields an adjustable, structural, watertight completed pipeline. Individual pipe jacks have no theoretical length limit, but practical engineering and economic considerations may impose restrictions. Drives among several hundred metres in a single direction, a radius, or a sequence of radii are easily accomplished. There are several mechanical or remote-control drilling methods available.

Using the adequate method, pipes ranging from 150mm to 3000mm can be installed. Tolerances for building projects are similar to other tunnelling methodologies, and the pipe jacking technique usually involves less or low overbreak as compared to alternative technologies. It claims to support the ground and minimizing potential ground movement. Mechanical excavation techniques are equivalent to those utilized in other types of tunnelling. For a wide range of ground conditions, shields, excavation, and face assistance can be provided.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Lockdown Limitations to Impede Market Advancement

Coronavirus has had a negative impact on the growth of many businesses, including the industries of construction and manufacturing. Regional governments around the world levied shutdown, causing business owners to see a reduction in the demand for pipe jacking machines in the second and third quarters of 2020.

With the decrease in demand, manufacturers or industrialists have pursued out ways to reach the construction sector and government concessions in order to increase their product sales in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. The reopening of initiatives and construction sites has cleared the way for pipe jacking machines manufacturers in the market, and growing demand is anticipated to reach at greater levels during the estimated timeframe.

LATEST TRENDS 

Rising Trend of Pipeline Placement Practises to Stimulate Market Development

Over the last half-decade, government spending on potable water supply projects has increased proportionally. Developing countries are spending billions of dollars to build new pipelines, while developed nations are replacing old pipelines. Pipeline placement necessitates the use of a jacking tool capable of installing pipelines with fewer mistakes. Since latest days, the soaring criterion of residing and average income of individuals has increased sales and demand for home remodeling-related operations, which has increased utilisation of pipe jacking machines.

The market is expected to grow at a rapid rate throughout the forecast period because of the improvements in the machinery.

DRIVING FACTORS

Guaranteed Installation and Safety Advantages of the Machinery to Aid Market Expansion

Pipe jacking also serves as a safer method of installing pipelines than open cut methodologies. Drilling work is considered risky because excavation failures could indeed occur quickly, restricting workers' chance of fleeing if a disaster happens. Moreover, any renovation work performed in or near beams or tunnels is regarded hazardous. The risk factors are associated as the rod or trench depth increases, with greater depths. Although there are still security risks involved with pipe jacking because shaft extraction is considered necessary, the extent of digging is reduced and site supervisory is limited to smaller places, reducing the likelihood of public interaction.

Promised Lowered Site Footprints by the Machinery to Foster Industry Progress

Conventional open cut methodologies have numerous environmental disadvantages that pipe jacking completely removes. A lowered site footprint is one of the most essential ecological benefits of pipe jacking.  Open cut methodologies necessitate trenching all along duration of the pipeline setup, resulting in more surface instability and higher restoration costs.  In contrast to open cut methodologies, pipe jacking only necessitates the digging of an entrance and exit hole, with the surface between these points remaining untroubled. Because there is less ground disruption, the surrounding environment, plant life, and wildlife are hardly impacted.  The setup will also be completed faster, and the rejuvenation costs will be lower.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Difficult Installation Procedures and High Purchasing Cost to Hinder Market Advancement

Considering the considerable investment needed in machinery, looking to purchase pipe jacking machines for short lengths can be expensive. The installation of the machinery necessitates the use of skilled labour.

The technique normally necessitates tunnel path flushing. The machinery may experience difficulty if large boulders or extremely hard stones are discovered. Because the machinery is entirely dependent on hydraulic motion, such sub-surface characteristics may result in failed projects; geotechnical inquiry is thus a critical aspect of the project. The method works best in fine grained and cohesive soil properties that are uniform and stable. The pipe materials utilized in the machinery must be capable of withstanding the tremendous compression that will be applied to them throughout the process.

PIPE JACKING MACHINES MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Rapid Industrial Growth and Urbanisation to Foster Market Advancement in Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific is expected to account for a sizable portion of the pipe jacking machines market. Popularity from end-use industries like construction and maintenance will most likely increase over the projected timeframe. The advantages of establishing pipelines without distressing traffic on highways and roads are anticipated to provide a boost to the economic expansion of the pipe jacking machines market share in Asia Pacific during the projected timeframe. Asia Pacific accounts for nearly one-fourth of global pipe jacking machines market sales. As a consequence of the rapid industrial growth and urbanisation study focused over the last half-decade, India and China in this geographical area are the major corporate sectors for these machineries. Soaring construction industry investments and government spending on water pipeline projects will boost the potential of the pipe jacking machines market growth. Demand in this region is primarily driven by the development and construction industries.
