The rapid urbanization and population growth particularly in the developing nations results in increased transportation needs and leads to the construction of new bridges and the expansion or renovation of existing ones along with the growing need for retrofitting or replacement of aging infrastructure in countries like US and Germany, are among the major factors fueling the global bridge cable sockets market growth. Moreover, with the significant economic growth and rapidly surging government investments in infrastructure and continuous expansion of developing economies transportation and roadways systems, the demand for bridge cable sockets increases to meet the requirements of these projects.
- For instance, in June 2022, Chinese Government, announced the completion of the of road-rail cable bridge over its Yangtz river in the Yibin City. The China’s first cable-stayed bridge with flat layout that embedding both railway tracks and highway lines was under construction since 2019.
The rising proliferation regarding the incorporation of technological advancements that have enabled the integration of smart monitoring systems into bridge cable sockets which utilize sensors and real-time data analysis to monitor the structural health of bridge cables and can also detect anomalies or deterioration early, allowing companies for timely maintenance and preventing catastrophic failures, are among one of other trends pushing the market growth.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the bridge cable sockets market. The emergence of the deadly virus across the globe had hampered large number of construction and development activities that includes the new bridge construction and re-development of existing ones. Additionally, the spread of the pandemic affected the global supply chains that resulted in lack of required workforce and shortage of raw materials used in the construction industry, thereby negatively influenced the market.
