Continuous Flight Augering (CFA) Market Report 2025

The continuous flight augering (CFA) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.82 billion in 2024 to $1.99 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for deep foundation systems, rising investments in residential and commercial real estate development, a growing emphasis on faster and more cost-effective foundation techniques, expanding infrastructure development in the transportation sector, and a heightened preference for low-noise, vibration-free drilling solutions.

The continuous flight augering (CFA) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of automation and digital control systems, heightened environmental concerns and stricter regulations regarding soil disturbance and disposal, growing government spending on public sector infrastructure and utilities, a rising number of geotechnical investigations and soil improvement projects, and accelerating urbanization and population growth. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of real-time monitoring and GPS-enabled positioning, advancements in hydraulic quick connection systems, improvements in wear-resistant auger materials and tooling design, incorporation of building information modeling (BIM), and technology-driven enhancements in concrete pumping and delivery systems.

Increasing investments in infrastructure are expected to drive the growth of the continuous flight augering (CFA) market in the coming years. Infrastructure encompasses the essential physical systems and facilities, such as transportation networks, utilities, and public institutions, that support the development and functioning of society and the economy. The rise in infrastructure investment is fueled by rapid urbanization, which creates demand for expanded transportation, utilities, and housing. This investment promotes economic growth and enhances living standards in fast-growing cities. Infrastructure spending boosts demand for continuous flight augering by increasing construction projects that require efficient and dependable foundation drilling solutions. For example, in July 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that infrastructure investment reached $17.66 billion (£13.8 billion) in 2023, a 3.9% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growing infrastructure investment is driving expansion in the continuous flight augering market.

Leading companies in the continuous flight augering market are advancing technology with innovations such as hydraulic quick connection systems to improve equipment versatility, shorten setup times, reduce human error, and enhance safety and efficiency on construction sites. Hydraulic quick connection systems allow for rapid, tool-free coupling and decoupling of hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical components between machinery and attachments, streamlining operations. For instance, in May 2025, Liebherr, a Swiss equipment manufacturer, launched the LRB19 piling and drilling rig, succeeding its LRB16 and LRB18 models. Designed for diverse deep foundation applications, the LRB19 features advanced digital assistance and a hydraulic quick connection system for fast attachment changes. Its compact, self-assembling design improves transport efficiency and on-site flexibility, marking a major step forward in foundation construction technology with enhanced safety, performance, and automation.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Continuous flight augering (CFA) is a drilling technique used in construction to form deep foundations by drilling into the ground with a continuous auger and filling the hole with concrete as the auger is gradually withdrawn. This method enables efficient installation of deep foundation piles without the need for casing or open excavation, making it ideal for a range of ground conditions.

The main components of continuous flight augering (CFA) include equipment and services. CFA equipment refers to specialized machinery designed to simultaneously bore into the ground and inject concrete through the hollow stem of the auger during extraction. A variety of materials are involved in the process, including concrete, soils, clay, sand, and aggregates, and it is applicable across various environments such as urban, suburban, rural, coastal, and mountainous regions. CFA is widely used in residential and commercial construction, infrastructure development, industrial projects, and geotechnical investigations. Key end users include construction companies, project developers, public works departments, engineering and design firms, and utility providers.
