Utility Locator Market Trends and Dynamics
Introduction of standards and ease in regulations pertaining to utility locators to drive market growth
The update in standards for the utility locators is helping to maintain the accuracy in underground utility surveys. For instance, the PAS 128 standards update of 2022 named as PAS 128:2022 which is the British standards institute (BSI) specification for underground utility location. The update of the standard enables the users to plan more effectively and provide safer execution of street works, civil works, and ground works. The publicly available specification (PAS) 256 standard is endorsed by the institute of civil engineers (ICE), British standard institute (BSI), and infrastructure UK in HM treasury. The update and launch of new utility standards in turn drives the utility locator adoption. For instance, China’s government is planning to invest heavily in different infrastructural development projects, such as transportation and railway infrastructure development projects.According to a news published in January 2022 in China Macro Economy newsletter, the cabinet of China has started work to quicken the pace of 102 major projects outlined in its 2021–2025 development plan. The country is prone to frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides, which increases the need to monitor and inspect the structures in real time.
Rising demand for real-time utility locating for underground utilities to create growth opportunities for the market
The increasing need for real-time analysis of underground utilities, concrete structures, roads, railway lines, etc., is one of the emerging concepts and new trends in the utility locator market. Different techniques are used such as electromagnetic field, ground penetrating radar and other for locating. Advanced methods enable respective utility owners to perform real-time analyses of their underground utilities. Utility locating equipment and service providers have started using fleet telemetry systems, GPS devices, GIS data devices, and GPR devices comprising multiple GPR antennas, called ‘GPR Arrays’, allow surveying the areas more quickly by collecting several GPR profiles simultaneously and offer 3D images of the objects and a more refined data capture ability feature and other sensors to collect location-based data on underground utilities.
High cost of ownership and maintenance of utility locator restrain the market growth
Price is the major factor in restraining the growth of the market since utility locating equipment are more expensive than manual digging. The cost of ownership of these locating equipment starts from around USD 1,000 and goes to USD 5,800, depending on the type and capabilities and features of the equipment. The average selling price of GPR equipment ranges from USD 20,000–USD 25,000, depending on the type, capabilities, and features.Apart from the cost of purchase, the total cost of utility locating equipment include the maintenance cost, communication equipment, cost of business (including the repair & maintenance, wages), training of staff and their quality assurance, etc. For operating the utility locators there is a need high skilled manpower to operate the utility locating equipment.
Lack of expertise and skill set is a challenge market experience
The field inspector should have knowledge of construction and operation of the underground utility distribution and collection systems, policies, and procedures. The field inspector should also be an expert in computer and software-related operations to gather the exact physical characteristics and location of the utility. The lack of knowledge related to electronic or manual utility locator equipment, field survey, and lack of understanding related to utility maps and construction drawings make the job of utility locating less attractive for the field officer.
Utility locators using electromagnetic field technique contribute largest market share throught the forecast period
Electromagnetic field locator is the most common equipment for locating utilities buried underground. Electromagnetic field utility locating equipment, such as pipe and cable locators, electronic marker systems (EMS), e-line locators, terrain conductivity equipment, and metal detector, often consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The use of electromagnetic radiation to locate underground utilities in places where human reach is not possible will have positive impact on the growth of the utility locator industry.
Services of utility locator market to grow at a highest CAGR between 2022 and 2027
Various services pertaining to utility locating equipment include rental, training, inspection, calibration, and maintenance and repair services. The high ownership cost of a utility locator, accessories and the constant requirement for innovative utility locating solutions for different applications facilitate end users to adopt utility locating equipment on rent. For instance, for domestic purpose one will not buy whole utility locator for single time use only, instead will call for service. And Training services help the user to operate the equipment effectively and efficiently and to maintain the safety while detecting utilities.
Telecommunication vertical to record for largest utility locator market share throught the forecaste period
Telecommunications and electricity were among the first verticals for which utility locators were rapidly adopted in the past. Telecommunications infrastructure has been established worldwide, Telecommunications comprises telephone lines, TV lines, cable TVs, fiber optic cables, and others. Telecommunication lines are the communication facilities that can be made up of paired, insulated copper conductors, i.e., TIP (A) and RING (B). The utility locator assures uninterrupted operations of communication cables. However, the emergence of 5G technology is expected to increase the demand for utility locators in telecommunications vertical in the near future.
Utility Locator Industry Regional Analysis
Market in APAC to grow significantly during the forecast period
APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for utility locators as the region is characterized by rapid infrastructure development initiatives and huge investments by the public and private sectors in residential, industrial, and commercial establishments. The utility locator market in this region has been segmented into China, India, Japan, and Rest of APAC that mainly includes Australia, Russia, South Korea, and countries in Southeast Asia. Specifically, in china the government is planning to invest heavily in different infrastructural development projects, such as transportation and railway infrastructure development projects.
