The market size of scaffolding and formwork solutions in India in 2018 and thereon, is expected to be sizeable as there is huge scope for organized construction using modern scaffolding & formwork equipment.

Organized construction methods are set to increase

Organized construction methods using scaffolding & formwork equipment, is set to increase in India, given the demand for speedier and more efficient completion of projects, with safety issues also being discussed. In monetary terms, the current market size of scaffolding and formwork in India is valued at `1500 crore, and is catered directly by both International & domestic players, with the latter having a smaller share.

There are challenges in terms of designing parts & sizes of projects in India, as majority of the projects are not standardized or typical in nature. So, making heavy investment for quality formwork & scaffolding doesn’t pay back to the optimum level. But still, when end-users are looking for quality output, uniform surface, and faster completion of the job, then the best choice is using advanced formwork systems.
