Snowplow Manufacturing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Melt away: Climbing local and state government investment will allow manufacturers to grow as they upgrade their equipment

Snowplow manufacturers have faced considerable headwinds over the current period. The outbreak of COVID-19 hammered manufacturers as economic uncertainty disincentivized downstream consumers and businesses from making large purchases. Municipalities' budgets focusing on pandemic-related response programs also subdued growth in 2020. Imports only declined moderately as downstream markets looked to less expensive products. While manufacturers enjoyed a strong recovery in 2021, interest rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 have stifled spending on new snowplows. Industry-wide revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 0.5% over the past five years and is expected to total $1.1 billion in 2023, when revenue is projected to jump an estimated 1.4%.
