Rise in Demand for Composite Manhole Covers to Drive Market
Composite manhole covers possess high strength along with being light in weight. Traditionally, metal and concrete manhole covers were used. These covers are bulky in nature and are often responsible for injuries to workers while installation or maintenance work. Metal covers are also prone to theft as the metal used in the manhole has some scrap value. Composite covers address both these problems. They are light in weight and possess no scrap value. They are estimated to lead the expansion of the manhole covers market during the forecast period.
Composite Covers Segment to Dominate the Global Manhole Covers Market
Based on product, the global manhole covers market has been segmented into metal covers (cast iron, ductile iron, and steel), concrete covers (conventional concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete), and composite covers (FRP/GRP and others). The composite covers segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Expansion of the segment can be attributed to the light weight and high strength of composite covers. Moreover, zero scrap value of these covers prevents theft as opposed to metal covers that are often stolen.
