Market Overview:
The global dock plates market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for dock plates from various end-use industries, such as automotive, ports, warehouse and logistics, and others. In terms of type, the aluminum dock plate segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than the steel dock plate segment during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as light weight and corrosion resistance that make it suitable for use in various applications. Regionally, North America is expected to lead the global dock plates market in terms of revenue during the forecast period followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
A dock plate is a piece of equipment that is used to bridge the gap between a truck or other vehicle and the loading dock. This allows for easier loading and unloading of cargo from the truck. Dock plates are typically made out of steel or aluminum, and they come in different sizes depending on the needs of the user.
Aluminum:
It has the highest density of any metal; it's twice as heavy as steel and gold. It has the highest specific weight; that is, a given volume of aluminum will weigh more than lead but will have the same dimensions. It's second-highest melting point (after tin) makes it useful for cooking utensils and baking sheets.
Steel:
Steel is a metal and has different properties for different applications. It can be cold-rolled steel, hot-dipped galvanized, electro Galvanized (EG), powder coated steel or stainless steel. Cold rolled steel plates are used in the construction of buildings & bridges and also used as flooring material in warehouses & factories.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The rising demand for vehicles is expected to have a positive impact on the industry. The rising number of manufacturing facilities in China, Japan, and South Korea is also likely to contribute positively towards industry growth during the forecast period.
The warehousing and logistics sector accounted for a significant revenue share in 2017 owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, chemicals, electronic components among others which are supported by ample supply chain solutions offered by various providers across different regions globally. Increasing investments made by companies such as Amazon Logistics (AMZN), Inc., DHL Global Mail Ltd., UPS Inc., FedEx Corporation among others are projected to further fuel industry expansion over the coming years.
Other applications include stadiums and playgrounds along with government infrastructure projects including hospitals.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing port activities in China and India. In addition, rising investments in the development of smart ports are likely to boost demand for dock plates over the forecast period.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is anticipated to witness steady growth over the forecast period on account of growing shipbuilding activities mainly due to increased demand for cruise ships and other watercraft as well as repair facilities for vessels operating across major ports including Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Kiel und Rostock.
North America accounted for 23% share of global revenue in 2017 owing high product penetration by U.S.-based companies such as General Dynamics Corporation; Lockheed Martin Corporation; Raytheon Company; Boeing Co.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Dock Plates in the automotive and transportation industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce and globalization.
- The increasing demand for Dock Plates from small businesses, as they are looking to streamline their work processes and improve efficiency.
- The growing popularity of Dock Plates among consumers due to their ease of use and portability.
