The global cranes, lifting and handling equipment market valued US$109.5 billion
in 2011, of which the Asia-Pacific region constituted a 44.4% share, making it
the largest regional market for cranes, lifting and handling equipment in the
world. In the same year, Europe and North America were the second and
third-largest regional markets, with 37.7% and 10.1% shares respectively. The
continuing economic uncertainty in Europe and sluggish growth in the US are
expected to reduce the market shares of these western regions. Growing economies
such as China and India in particular are also expected to reduce the market
shares of western regions, as rapid development of infrastructural, industrial,
residential and commercial sectors in these regions are expected to increase the
demand for construction equipment. The market shares of the European and North
American regions are expected to be 32.6% and 8.5% respectively in 2016, a
decline from shares in 2011, while the Asia-Pacific region is forecast to
increase its share to 50.9% in the same year.
The water crisis facing the human race over the next century will ultimately
have a greater impact on human activity than energy scarcity around the world.
Potable water is increasingly becoming more expensive to treat and with human
population growth continuing to reach and exceed new highs every year for the
foreseeable future, water scarcity is one of the most challenging issues facing
governments and industries around the world. determined that the value of the

US demand to rise more than10% annually through 2016
US demand for water and wastewater pipe is expected to rise more than ten
percent per year to $18.3 billion in 2016. Gains will rebound strongly from the
declining demand experienced during the 2006-2011 period, in which pipe markets
were negatively impacted by the 2007-2009 recession. Going forward, rising
demand will be fueled by a more favorable environment for public infrastructure
spending, following severe budgetary constraints in 2011 which caused many major
state and municipal projects to be delayed. Other factors benefiting pipe demand
through 2016 will include healthy increases in construction spending and the
continued need to upgrade and repair the country’s aging sewer and water pipe
network. Also boosting demand will be a rebound in the size and number of
bathrooms per new housing unit to levels common in the middle of the last
decade. During the 2007-2011 downturn in housing construction, many builders
installed fewer and smaller bathrooms in the new houses that were completed,
further restraining pipe demand.
