Surge in Demand for Scaffolding Rental Services:

In the construction industry, the initial investment impacts the overall profitability of the project or a company. Scaffolding rental is a flexible and cost-effective option for most small and medium-sized construction companies and contractors as it eliminates the requirement of upfront investment. This enables the companies and contractors to increase their profits on small and medium-sized projects. In addition, as the demand for modern construction is increasing, the requirement for different types and sizes of scaffolding is also growing, along with complexities. Companies and contractors purchasing different types of scaffoldings might face an increase in the overall operating cost. In addition, once the project is completed, scaffolding needs to be stored at a proper facility, which leads to additional expenses.
To lower such additional costs, rental services for scaffolding are gaining popularity. Rental services provide the flexibility to choose the most suitable scaffolding system for the specific project's needs. Apart from the construction industry, the entertainment & film production sector has a seasonal demand for scaffoldings. Scaffolding rental companies allow end users to access different types of scaffoldings whenever needed, which reduces the need for long-term storage and initial investments. Owing to such flexibility and reduced operational cost, along with the growth of the construction industry, the demand and adoption of scaffolding rental have increased in the past few years. Thus, the surge in the adoption of scaffolding rental services drives the East Africa scaffolding market.

Favorable government initiatives are driving the growth of construction activity across Kenya. Investments are being made in tourism, transport infrastructure, energy, housing, industrial, and manufacturing sectors. For example, Kenya’s housing program is funded through various public and private sources, including a 2023 housing levy, collecting US$ 60 million monthly. With the Vision 2030 plan, Kenya plans to develop four major sectors: manufacturing, healthcare, food security, and affordable housing. Population growth and infrastructure deficits are the two main factors contributing to the construction industry's growth in Kenya. Due to large reserves of natural resources, favorable economic policies, and cheap labor, the construction sector will be a favorable investment option for many major global economies and companies.
According to the 2023 Kenya Economic Survey, the construction industry in Kenya grew by 4.1% in 2022, primarily driven by the construction and maintenance of roads. However, the construction sector is expected to maintain a growth rate of 5% in the near term, driven by several infrastructure projects in roads, ports, and airports in 2023-2024 as per the information from the Central Bank of Kenya. Thus, government initiatives and investment in the development of infrastructure projects in Kenya are expected to boost the demand for scaffolding in the coming years. The Kenya Standard Gauge Railway Project, valued at ~US$ 5.2 billion, is a railway project that connects Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and South Sudan. The first construction plan for Mombasa to Nairobi has been completed, while the second plan for Nairobi to Naivasha is still ongoing.
