Fixed Scaffolding Global Market Report 2025

The fixed scaffolding market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.9 billion in 2024 to $9.47 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid urbanization, 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 fixed scaffolding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.96 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. 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, stricter safety regulations, expanding urban redevelopment initiatives, and the adoption of sustainable and recyclable construction materials. Primary trends in the forecast period include advancements in lightweight high-strength materials, innovations in smart scaffolding with internet of things (IoT) and real-time monitoring, development of modular and customizable scaffolding systems, and integration of automation and robotics for assembly or disassembly.

The increasing number of construction projects is expected to propel the growth of the fixed scaffolding market going forward. Construction refers to the process of building, assembling, and maintaining structures such as residential, commercial, and industrial facilities that support urban and economic development. The rise in construction projects is driven by increasing urbanization, which boosts demand for new infrastructure and housing development. Fixed scaffolding improves construction efficiency by providing stable and durable platforms, making it suitable for high-rise buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. It enhances worker safety and facilitates material handling at elevated heights, reducing delays and increasing overall project productivity. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government organization, the number of dwellings under construction increased to 240,813 in 2023, up from 240,065 in 2022. Therefore, the increasing number of construction projects is driving the growth of the fixed scaffolding 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 enhance efficiency, improve safety, and reduce manual effort and equipment damage. Modular and highly adaptable restraint systems are configurable safety systems designed to secure personnel, equipment, or structures, offering flexible and reliable protection across diverse environments. For instance, in February 2025, AT-PAC, a US-based construction company, launched the Multi-Purpose Beam System (MPBS), marking a key advancement in scaffold technology. It is an engineered system featuring a modular and highly adaptable restraint design that allows quick reconfiguration between single and dual-aisle aircraft. It includes a unique, aircraft-approved handrail system that enhances passenger safety and a low-maintenance structure, enabling seamless and safe boarding operations for various aircraft without requiring multiple dedicated stair units.

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

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.

This fixed scaffolding market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A fixed scaffolding is a temporary elevated platform structure that provides stable and secure working access for workers during construction, maintenance, or repair activities at height. It is designed to support workers, tools, and materials while maintaining balance and minimizing movement. It also allows efficient vertical and horizontal reach, enhances operational safety, and improves productivity through a durable, non-mobile framework.

The main types of fixed scaffolding are supported scaffolding, suspended scaffolding, and rolling scaffolding. Supported scaffolding is built from the ground up on rigid foundations, providing strong stability for work at different heights. It is made from materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, and others, and is classified based on capacity and load-bearing capability into light-duty scaffolding, medium-duty scaffolding, and heavy-duty scaffolding. It is used in various applications including construction, shipbuilding, electrical maintenance, and others, and is widely utilized across industries such as residential construction, commercial construction, infrastructure development, oil and gas, and power generation.
