One of the major factors impacting market growth is the high cost of purchasing these trucks. Bucket trucks are manufactured using high-quality parts and pneumatic components, contributing to high initial investment costs. Construction industry players tend to use rental or used equipment due to the high cost of purchasing new trucks, challenging the market growth. However, the growing industry trend of continuous process improvement and economies of scale in production is expected to reduce the impact of this restraint over the coming years.
 

The bucket trucks industry will witness sluggish growth on account of the rapid spread of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The pandemic is inflicting high & rising losses to the global economy owing to disruption in the ecosystem of several industry sectors. Restrictions on international trade have led to a shortage of raw materials, hampering the production capability of bucket trucks. Furthermore, growing financial insecurities among manufacturers will impact the market size in 2020.
 

Increasing demand for efficient and high-power bucket trucks

The class 8 product segment held a market share of over 40% in 2019 and is predicted to witness over 5% growth until 2026. The growing trend of adopting bucket trucks for the installation of electric power grids and communication systems in rough terrains is driving the segment growth. Heavy-duty class 8 bucket trucks with a GVWR of over 14,969 kg or 33,001 pounds provide enhanced load carrying capacity and high stability in all terrains.
