A road sweeping machine is one such equipment essential in cleaning roads. Earlier, cost was a hampering factor impeding the growth of this equipment. Shortage of labor and increase in need for road expansion have caused civic authorities to lean on mechanization for road development and repair. Garbage collection trucks, mechanized drain cleaners, and road cleaning equipment now play an integral part in aiding manpower for completion of such jobs.

Market Scope and Structure Analysis

Road sweeping machines will find tremendous opportunities in tourist places, owing to their increase in demand for maintaining roads and highways. These countries have to maintain infrastructure to attract tourists. Developing road infrastructure, coupled with advancement in technology (mechanization) is expected to fuel demand for the global road sweeping machine market. Moreover, high cost of labour, frequent strikes and limited availability of man power across the globe are further expected to push demand for the road sweeping machine market during the forecast period. However, the scenario is different now with several municipal corporations outsourcing private contractors for road sweeping machines. They have realized that high initial investment on these machines will offset long term savings that these machines help them achieve. Now a days, infrastructure maintenance has gradually become a focus area and large township developers and civic authorities are increasingly depending on specialized road cleaning equipment. Lack of awareness of this product in many small cities is expected to hamper growth of the market during the forecast period. In addition, high cost of the product is further expected to restrict growth of the market.
