Market Overview:
The global soft-rock shield machine market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X%. The soft-rock shield machine market is segmented on the basis of type, application and region. On the basis of type, the global soft-rock shield machine market is segmented into slurry shield (SS) and earth pressure balance machines (EPBM). Slurry shields are used for excavation in soils that are cohesive enough to hold together when wetted but weak enough to erode under the influence of flowing water or air pressure. Earth pressure balance machines are used for excavation through hard rock using a pressurized fluid such as water or air instead of traditional explosives. On the basis of application, the global soft-rock shield machine market is segmented into city rail system, railway and highway, municipal engineering and others. City rail systems include metro railways which operate within an urban area while commuter railways connect suburbs with cities. Railway and highway applications include tunnels for vehicular traffic as well as railway lines and high speed railways respectively. Municipal engineering includes stormwater drainage systems, sanitary sewers etcetera while other applications include mining tunnels etcetera .
Product Definition:
A Soft-Rock Shiled Machine is a device that uses soft-rock materials to protect a structure from damage. The importance of a Soft-Rock Shiled Machine is that it can help protect a structure from damage caused by impact or projectiles.
Slurry Shield (SS):
Slurry shield is a fluid, usually water-based, mixture used to reduce the penetration of abrasive particles into soft rock. It works by reducing the impact of solid particles on the drill bit and protects against cuttings getting carried away from the drilling site.
The global slurry shield market size was valued at USD 31.5 million in 2016.
Earth Pressure Balance Machines:
Earth pressure balance machines are used to control the horizontal movement of rock or soil in a mine. The machine consists of two main parts, namely, base plate and cup. On the base plate there is an imbalance weight which is applied to balance the pressure between down-hole pressures and surface pressures. On the other hand, on cup's bottom there is a valve which can open/close depending upon whether up-hole or surface pressure is greater than pre-determined value.
Application Insights:
The railway and highway application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The demand is expected to increase owing to the growing railway infrastructure in developing countries such as India, China, Thailand, Indonesia and others. Furthermore, increasing number of highway projects across various regions will boost industry growth over the forecast period.
The other applications include airport construction & maintenance; municipal engineering; water treatment plants; mining etc. In developed countries like U.S.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing investments in metro construction projects, including Hong Kong’s MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) and Shanghai's Metro, as well as other major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin and others.
The Asia Pacific was followed by North America which accounted for a share of more than 20% in 2017 owing to high demand from U.S., Canada and Mexico for new constructions or upgrades of existing systems such as water management facilities & pipelines using soft rock shield machines. Europe is also anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years on account of growing infrastructure requirements post-Brexit scenario coupled with rising terrorist threats resulting into increased spending on security measures by various governments across countries such as Germany has resulted into higher demand for these products within Europe region thereby boosting industry growth significantly over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for soft-rock shield machines from the construction and mining industries as they offer high performance and productivity.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using soft-rock shield machines in various applications is propelling their demand across the globe.
- The increasing adoption of soft-rock shield machines in tunneling projects is fueling their growth in the global market.
- Rising investments by key players in research and development activities to develop innovative products is aiding the growth of this market globally.
