The concern for the safety and protection of subterranean utilities is impeding the expansion of the utility locator industry.To know about the Research Methodology :- Request Free Sample Report

Furthermore, the market's primary obstacles have been expensive ownership and maintenance expenses, as well as a lack of experience and skill set. However, factors such as rising demand for real-time utility finding services, aging infrastructure, and the growing need for maintenance might provide major potential in this industry. One of the significant trends in the global utility locator market from 2023 to 2029 will be a rise in gas pipeline laying projects. The transition to piped natural gas for industrial and home reasons will increase gas pipeline laying projects worldwide. The natural gas industry's growing number of projects will necessitate extensive analyses and surveys of subterranean systems. Furthermore, the pipes must be inspected regularly to identify leaks or damage to subsurface gas pipelines. These reasons will fuel the expansion of the utility locator market.
Utility Locator Market Dynamics:
Factors such as an increase in real-time detection of leaks, inspections, and monitoring of underground utilities, stringent government policies requiring the location of underground utilities before excavating and construction activities, and the development of technologically advanced tools are driving the utility locator market. According to the UN research, by 2027, 2 billion people would be living in nations or areas with extreme water shortages, posing a danger to a variety of sectors, including food security. Inadequate water and sanitation are responsible for around 80% of diseases in underdeveloped nations.

Many countries are working together to help underdeveloped countries get access to water resources. For example, the Food Security Innovation and Mobilization effort in Peru, Bolivia, and Burkina Faso invests about USD 20 million beginning in 2020 to improve access to groundwater resources. They are detecting water resources with utility locators and extracting them with hand pumps and hydroponic greenhouse technology. This enhances food security while also reducing water consumption during the dry season.
Utility Locator Market Segment Analysis:
By Target: In 2029, the market for metallic utilities is predicted to have a bigger proportion of the market. The market for non-metallic utilities is expected to grow at a faster CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2029 due to the rising demand for utility locators for detecting sewage pipelines, as well as mapping non-metallic utilities made of fiberglass reinforced plastic, concrete, asbestos cement, and plastics.

By Offering: The utility locator market is divided into two offerings: equipment and services. In 2020, the equipment sector held a greater market share, while the services market is predicted to rise at a higher CAGR. The high cost of equipment ownership and maintenance, ongoing innovation in utility finding technologies, and severe government laws requiring the location of subsurface utilities before digging and building activities all contribute to the market's rapid growth.By Technique: The utility locator market is further sub-segmented into electromagnetic field locators and ground-penetrating radar based on technology. Acoustic pipe locators, magnetic locators, and hydro or vacuum excavators are among other ways. In 2021, the electromagnetic field technique held the biggest market share of xx%. The greatest share of this sector may be ascribed to the adaptability of this technology to detect metallic utilities and the cheaper cost of the electromagnetic field technique compared to other techniques. During the projected period (2023-2029), the market for the GPR method is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR.

By Application: Based on Applications, the utility locator market is sub-segmented into oil & gas, electricity, transportation, water & sewage, telecommunications. The telecommunications segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2029. This can be attributed to the high repair cost of telephone lines, adoption of utility locators to avoid disturbances in the communication system and establishment of 5G technology infrastructure. The market for water & sewage is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2023 and 2029.
Utility Locator Market Regional Insights:
Throughout the projected period, North America will have the highest share of the utility market (2023-2029). The region presently dominates the market due to the increasing use of utility locators as a result of the increased need for greater monitoring and building activities in advanced economies such as the United States and Canada. In the United States, there are about 30 million miles of recognized subsurface utilities, with much more unnamed. When a transportation agency drills into the soil, known subterranean utilities such as telephone and internet cables, electric and gas lines, and pipelines (both large and tiny) are all in danger.

The telecommunications business is thriving in the United States, with key firms collaborating with technology providers to achieve a first-mover advantage by putting out 5G service. The increasing digitalization of economies, particularly those in emerging markets such as India and China, will emerge as a prominent factor driving market development. Rising worries about the security and protection of subterranean utilities, as well as increased government creativity in the implementation of utility locators, will exacerbate the market's development pace.

Rising R&D capabilities, as well as a rise in real-time detection of leaks, inspections, and monitoring of subsurface utilities, are major market growth factors. The Asia Pacific Utility Locator market is expected to grow over the forecast period (2021-2027). Evolving markets such as China and Asian countries are projected to play an important role in the rise in manufacturing the surrounding area.
