Additionally, rising awareness about benefits of using FWDs is also propelling the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) is used to measure the deflection of a pavement under load. The importance of FWD measurements is that they can be used to calculate the elastic modulus and stiffness of pavements, which are important parameters in pavement design.
Portable Type:
The portable type is used to measure the weight of falling objects. It is also known as Portable Weigh-on-Demand System (PWOD). The system consists of a sensor, data acquisition and processing unit, display and key board along with software for analysis. The system can be used in various applications such as construction industry, mining industry, food & beverage industry among others.
Trailer-mounted Type:
The global trailer-mounted type and it’s usage in the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2016. The increasing demand for automation in the FWD testing industry is expected to boost growth over the forecast period.
The growing automotive industry coupled with technological advancements has led to an increase in sales of commercial vehicles, which further propels demand for trailers mounted with types used for FWD testing applications globally.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes roads, highways, airport pavement, industrial floors, freight terminals parking areas and others. The road application dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. It is estimated that around 70% to 80% of the total weight deflection measurement equipment produced are utilized for road applications globally. Rising demand for cost-effective solutions coupled with technological advancements has led to an increased usage of FWDs on roads and highways across various regions including North America and Europe.
Highways are one of the important components of a developed economy as they connect all parts of a country together forming a vital logistics network facilitating trade activities between different parts leading to economic growth over long distances which eventually benefits everyone involved in its construction including contractors, suppliers and users alike.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific dominated the global market in terms of revenue in 2017. This is attributed to the increasing road infrastructure and rising demand for consumer goods from emerging economies, such as China and India. The growing aviation industry is also expected to drive demand for FWDs over the forecast period. For instance, according to International Air Transport Association (IATA), air passenger traffic has grown by 6% annually between 2010-11 and 2015-16 globally.
In North America region; U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for FWD in the construction industry for accurate soil compaction measurements.
- Growing popularity of FWD technology among contractors and engineers owing to its accuracy and reliability.
- Rising demand from the geotechnical engineering sector for testing foundation soils, pavements, and embankments.
- Proliferation of smart cities across the globe is expected to create new opportunities for FWD market growth over the forecast period.
