Report Summary The UK access equipment market was estimated to have grown by 7% in 2015, with a further 4% growth forecast for The market returned to growth in 2012, following a stagnant period, with particularly sharp growth experienced in 2014 and, to a slightly lesser degree, This growth was initially driven by improvement in the powered access equipment sector, although the non-powered sector also increased in value in 2014, largely in response to increased output in housebuilding. However, powered access equipment has continued to enjoy faster growth overall than non-powered equipment, as safety considerations and the increasing range and penetration of powered products in the low-level access sector continue to erode the share of non-powered equipment in the overall market. In addition to housebuilding, the key construction sectors that have contributed to growth have included infrastructure, offices and industrial. Powered access and non-powered access products compete for similar work and, within each separate sector, products also compete directly, for example, access towers, scaffolding and ladders. Overall, powered and specialist access equipment is estimated to account for around 57% of the market in 2015, with non-powered access equipment accounting for the remaining 43%. Within the powered access sector, MEWPs account for the majority share, with an estimated share of around 50% in terms of value. In the non-powered sector, aluminium dominates the ladders materials mix, but GRP has gained market share and is increasingly seen as a mainstream product, not just one for applications where non-conductive materials are necessary. After a period of comparative price stability, some future price rises are expected, also adding value to the market across the review period. Going forward, the powered access equipment market is forecast to perform better than the non-powered sector, particularly towards the latter part of the decade. Prospects for the construction industry continue to appear positive, although lower growth rates are expected compared with 2014 and Growth in construction output will generate market opportunities for access equipment, especially in the housebuilding and infrastructure sectors, which are likely to be boosted by government measures. However, UK business confidence remains fragile, and in addition, the access equipment market can fluctuate, being influenced by fleet buying decisions in the relatively volatile MEWP sector, leading to erratic levels of growth. From 2017, growth is expected to continue at an average 3-4% a year until List of Report Contents
