The electricity transmission poles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable energy integration, modernization of transmission infrastructure, rising demand for smart grids, adoption of high-strength and composite materials, deployment of IoT-based monitoring systems. Major trends in the forecast period include smart grid integration, high-density power line deployment, advanced pole material development, modular and prefabricated poles, remote monitoring & predictive maintenance.

The transition to renewable energy is expected to significantly boost the growth of the electricity transmission poles market. Renewable energy is sourced from naturally replenishing elements such as sunlight, wind, water, and biomass, which are sustainable and have minimal environmental impact. The increased adoption of renewable energy is driven by various factors, including concerns about the environment, the desire for energy security and independence, advancements in grid modernization and smart technologies, and supportive government policies and incentives. Electricity transmission poles play a crucial role in the renewable energy sector by facilitating the efficient transmission of clean energy, integrating renewable sources into the grid, and ensuring reliable power delivery to consumers. This helps support sustainability efforts and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. For example, in January 2025, the European Environment Agency reported that in 2023, renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of the EU's total energy use, up from 23.5% in 2022, with the goal of reaching 42.5% by 2030. As a result, the shift towards renewable energy is driving the demand for electricity transmission poles.

Companies in the electricity transmission poles market are focusing on expanding their manufacturing facilities to increase production capacity, enhance supply chain efficiency, and meet the growing need for durable, high-performance transmission poles. These manufacturing facilities are industrial sites equipped with machinery, tools, and labor for large-scale production. For example, in December 2024, Southwestern Electric Power Company, a US-based provider of electricity transmission poles, launched a comprehensive pole replacement initiative aimed at strengthening its distribution network. The project, which began in Texas and will extend across Louisiana and Arkansas, involves replacing 21,634 poles over the course of three years. With additional funding planned for 2025, the project is designed to ensure long-term reliability and improve service, with a particular focus on upgrading poles to withstand severe weather and environmental conditions.

In April 2024, Arcosa Inc., a US-based construction engineering company, acquired Ameron Pole Products LLC for $180 million. This acquisition allows Arcosa to expand its infrastructure product range, including traffic and telecom structures, and strengthen its position in the concrete and steel lighting pole market. The move is part of Arcosa’s broader strategy to accelerate the growth of its Engineered Structures segment and pursue additional acquisitions that complement its focus on higher-growth markets. Ameron Pole Products LLC is a US-based manufacturer of concrete and steel poles used in various infrastructure applications.
