Rammer is a mechanical device which is used for leveling and breaking the surface. It forms a uniform level surface by pressing soil or sand repeatedly under its weight. It has two components—handle and a head. The weight of the head should be enough to press the soil or sand according to the requirement. Cast iron is usually used for the manufacturing the head of rammer, while wood or other metals can be used for manufacturing the handle. Head of the rammer usually offers a smooth surface, which helps in leveling the soil or sand. Pneumatic rammers are powered by air, which reduces the chances of tool overheating. Battery powered rammer consists of a battery for power supply. Diesel rammers, two cycle engine, and four cycle engine rammers consist of internal combustion engine which is the source of power to rammer. These types of rammers are usually required at mines and oil & gas extraction sites.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the rammer industry attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This has hampered the growth of rammer market in 2020 and, is likely to revive in 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of rammer in the second and third quarter of 2020 and is reviving in 2021.
- The major demand for rammer was previously noticed from countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and India, which are negatively affected by the spread of the corona virus, thereby declining the demand for quarry tiles.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Rammer manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans. For instance, various players in the market halted their production activities for several weeks to reduce the expenses. Whereas few players also adopted employee lay-offs to sustain during the COVID-19 health crisis.
- Rammer manufacturers are expected to focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19. For instance, provision of sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, as well as ensuring the vaccination of every employee in the company can assist in promoting the health & safety of the workforce.
Top Impacting Factors
Growth of infrastructure and construction industry has demanded variety of automatic tools which are effective and efficient as well. Rammer is such type of tool which can be run by battery or fuel and can reduce the labor cost. This is one of the key factors driving the growth of the rammers market at a global level. Furthermore, effective tools are required to run the extraction operations at its pace owing to rise in consumption of oil & gas and petroleum products. Rammer is widely used at mines and extraction sites for leveling after and before extraction, and in covering the underground pipelines. In addition, it is widely used in road construction. Maintenance of roads is required to reduce the number of accidents, which is opportunistic for the market growth. Increase in number of vehicle and traffic, surges the demand for better road safety which fuels the growth of the rammers market at a global level.
Market Trends
- Europe is dominating the global rammers market holding the largest share of revenue generation and is expected to grow at steady CAGR.
- Rise in demand for road maintenance in emerging economies like China, and India increases the demand for rammers.
