Future of Power Transmission Poles and Distribution Poles Industry

Over the years, Steel has been the most significant material as it is highly durable and is low maintenance. Arising trends show extensive use of Power Transmission Poles and Distribution Poles! The Power Transmission Poles have some amazing features such as rot and corrosion resistance, least maintenance, easy installation, and superior strength-to-weight ratio; therefore, we expect an increase in their growth in the coming times.

There are many forecasts for this segment. Let us read further:

Utility poles connect & backs-up electric wires carrying electric current. Hence, the two primary channels – that are -Energy Transmission and Energy Distribution play a significant role in supporting utility infrastructure and accomplishing energy needs. With the current market size value of Poles at $46.6 billion, it might reach $58.2 billion in the coming 6-7 years. Along with that, we see the supporting sectors such as electric power, cable television, telephone, Wood, concrete, composite, and Steel, may have an increased life span.

The factors driving the market growth of Power Transmission Poles and Distribution Poles comprise of -  

• Steel sanctioned as a green resource
• Emerged global energy consumption 
• Development of the Global Telecommunication Industry

We have further segmented the Power Transmission and Distribution Poles by material, size, kind, and application.

1. If we talk about the stuff/material, Wood is the predominant factor in Poles, made of Trees such as Jack Pine, Lodge Pole Pine, and Pacific Silver Fir. We see an increase in the wood market with Wooden Poles as the most profitable sector.
2. Pole size is much relevant, which is relatively between 42ft - 70 ft. Usually, a larger pole size has a better capability to handle grander load tension. They also have greater ground clearance & handles higher energy load. The other reasons include the increase in broadband users in the Telecom industry, which makes it more critical to increase the pole size.
3. The kind of Power Poles manufactured depends as per the energy demand across the countries. All the energy generation activities and energy distribution are co-related. With the growth in energy consumption, we will see a constant increase in the demand for distribution poles in the coming times. We might also see it having the most productive share.
4. With a rapid rise in global energy requirements, energy generation activities also increase. Over the years, we see it improve continually, as we first transport electricity and then distribute it. Hence, the demand for the Power Distribution Sector will see a higher growth along with the Electricity Transmission & Distribution.

Conclusion

With an overall increase in the application of electricity, we see a significant change in the transmission and distribution (T&D) ventures in the coming years. There will be, for sure, an upgrade of the transmission network with ultra-high voltage machinery. With a focus on technological advancements, the Power Transmission Poles and Distribution Poles will see a growth in the market along with other supporting players.
