Utility Poles Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Utility Poles Market
The utility poles market size was valued at USD 34.06 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 35.55 billion in 2024 to USD 52.95 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.11% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the utility poles market growth declined with an impact on projects inclusive of the interconnection of Egypt with Saudi Arabia. In April 2020, the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company postponed bidding for the development of the energy line because of the pandemic. The project resumed later, with seven companies invited to participate after the postponement. COVID-19 disrupted the development of essential infrastructure such as utility poles worldwide.
Rising energy demand is driving the installation of utility poles market share, with smart grids enhancing real-time electricity management. Increased urbanization, human population increase, and extension of electricity to rural areas are changing the sector. Technological changes and investments in research and developments are proactively finding changes in power generation, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
Smart poles, equipped with sensors, cameras and charging stations, offer high visual impact and efficiency. Companies are developing smart lamp posts powered by wind and solar with battery storage, enabling functions such as LTE small cells, security cameras, public Wi-Fi, IoT sensors and EV charging. These poles provide reliable services even during power outages and can often be upgraded economically by modifying existing poles. This technology is driving significant demand for smart poles.
