Crash Barrier Systems Market Analysis

Application (Roadside, Median, Bridge, Work Zone Barriers)

The global crash barrier systems market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into the roadside, median, bridge, and work zone barriers. Amongst these segments, the roadside barrier segment is anticipated to garner the largest revenue by the end of 2037, backed by the extensively increasing number of road accidents combined with the implementation of road safety programs.  According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in 2021, more than 1.55 lakh people were killed in road crashes across India. Road accidents are caused by negligence, fast driving, distractions, drunk driving, not wearing seat belts, weather disturbances, bad roads, the absence of dividers, or car brake issues. The absence of dividers or road separators can be done by improving road infrastructure. Crash barriers are one such category that can be used as dividers. With increased traffic and no proper direction for the coming and going vehicles a single one-way road is very dangerous. Moreover, it becomes difficult for pedestrians to cross the road with heavy traffic, which increases road crashes. In addition, the adoption of automotive safety systems in the form of crash imminent braking, pedestrian emergency braking, is anticipated to boost the segment’s growth in the market.

Type (Portable, Fixed)

The global crash barrier systems market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into the fixed and portable barriers. Among these, the fixed barrier segment is estimated to garner the largest market share owing to the growing need for continuous guards on the roads to prevent road crashes. An increasing number of road accidents and mountain slide deaths is also estimated to boost the growth of the segment. In the U.S. as per the reports, about 48 people die every year from landslides. Fixed crash barriers are safety barriers that are assembled at the corners and middle of the road with a permanent setting, unlike portable plastic barriers. The fixed barriers are usually made of steel to withstand climatic conditions and fast-moving vehicles to improve road safety thereby increasing the growth of the fixed crash barrier market’s segment. Moreover, the roads along the hill areas, water lands, and mountain roads are installed with fixed barriers to prevent vehicles from going close to the mountain rocks as they may slide suddenly.
