Global Scaffolding Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support workers and materials during the construction, repair, or maintenance of buildings and other large structures. It provides a safe and stable platform for workers to perform tasks at heights that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Scaffolding systems are typically made of metal tubes, couplers, and platforms and can be assembled and disassembled as needed. There are various types of scaffolding, including supported scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, and rolling scaffolds, each designed for specific applications and site conditions. Properly designed and maintained scaffolding is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of construction projects, preventing accidents, and facilitating access to all areas of the structure.The growth in the scaffolding market is driven by several factors.
