Scaffolding and Accessories Global Market Report 2025

The scaffolding and accessories market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.14 billion in 2024 to $11.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in infrastructure development, expansion of the construction industry, increasing industrial and commercial projects, rising safety regulations, modernization of building techniques, and demand for cost-effective and durable access solutions.

The scaffolding and accessories market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing infrastructure modernization projects, rising demand for high-rise construction, growth in industrial maintenance activities, expanding urban redevelopment initiatives, and the adoption of sustainable and recyclable construction materials. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of modular and lightweight aluminum systems, integration of smart and Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled scaffolding for safety monitoring, use of high-strength composite materials, development of quick-assembly and labor-saving designs, and customized solutions for complex construction projects.

The increasing number of construction projects is expected to propel the growth of the scaffolding and accessories market going forward. Construction is the process of building, assembling, and maintaining structures such as residential, commercial, and industrial facilities that support urban and economic development. Construction projects are rising due to increasing urbanization driving demand for new infrastructure and housing development. Scaffolding and accessories are used in construction to provide safe, stable platforms that support workers and materials during building, maintenance, and repair activities at elevated heights. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian-based government organization, the number of dwellings under construction increased to 240,813 in the March quarter of 2023, up from 240,065 in 2022. Therefore, the growing number of construction projects is driving the growth of the scaffolding and accessories market.

Major companies operating in the scaffolding and accessories market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as modular and highly adaptable restraint systems, to boost efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce manual effort and aircraft damage. Modular and highly adaptable restraint systems are configurable safety systems designed to secure personnel, equipment, or structures, offering flexible and reliable protection across varied environments. For instance, in February 2025, AT-PAC, a US-based construction company, launched the Multi-Purpose Beam System (MPBS), marking a major advancement in scaffold technology. It is an engineered system featuring a modular and highly adaptable restraint system that allows for quick reconfiguration between single and dual-aisle aircraft. It includes a unique, aircraft-approved handrail system that enhances passenger safety and a low-maintenance design, enabling seamless and safe boarding operations for various aircraft without the need for multiple, dedicated stair units.

In February 2023, Doka GmbH, an Austria-based construction company, acquired AT-PAC for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Doka aims to strengthen its position as a comprehensive provider of formwork and scaffolding solutions, expanding its global market reach and establishing a unified business segment under industrial scaffolding. AT-PAC is a US-based construction company that specializes in the manufacture of scaffolding systems and accessories.

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.
