Yarders are widely utilized in the global market for cutting trees, and producing timber in the end-use sectors like forestry, hardwoods, and firewood. Yarders were created specifically for use in steep and uneven terrains, where other equipment would struggle to function well. Yarders can be operated in a variety of ways depending on the job that needs to be done, the working circumstances, and the terrain. The geography of the location, availability of equipment, wood size, and yarding distance are all variables that influence the kind and weight bearing capability of yarders. Increase in demand for wooden product is expected to boost the market growth. Furthermore, a huge number of market participants are adopting wooden goods in the construction business. This is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Market Scope and Structure Analysis
Forestry and construction related sectors are driving the growth of the yarder market. Yarders are used in woods for logging and transportation of unfinished and completed timber, which may then be utilized to create buildings, furniture, bridges, and other structures. This is yet another major aspect that is predicted to drive the demand for yarders during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut down the production of various products in the yarders industry attributed to the lockdown in countries worldwide. This has hampered the growth of yarders market from the last few months and is likely to continue during 2021.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of yarders in the first quarter of 2021 and is anticipated to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for yarders was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries, like North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, which are negatively affected by the spread of the coronavirus, thereby declining the demand for yarders.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. yarders 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.
- Yarders 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
Infrastructure development throughout the world is driving the demand for wood finished products, which boosts the need for yarders for logging on a worldwide scale. However, the government and ruling authorities' strict laws and regulations on forest conservation are expected to serve as a restraint on the worldwide market for yarders. Usage of metal, plastic, and composite goods have increased attributed to deforestation, forest degradation, and rise in wood demand.
- Major key players are improving its product portfolio by manufacturing and launching machinery due to increase in industrialization. For instance, in April 2019, Madill Equipment has built first new Canadian 124 Swing Yarder. Also, this company has manufactured over 4,000 forestry machines including yarder, log loaders and feller bunchers. Hence, increase in industrialization and wooden products is projected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market.
- Various machines are manufactured due to increase in demands for wood products and urbanization. For instance, Canada based company T-MAR industries LTD. has designed and built Log Champ 550 and 650 yarders for steep slope logging. In April 2021, U.S. company John Deere adds smooth boom control technology for Tracked Feller Bunchers and Harvesters which ensure full and responsive hydraulic function actuation and further improving overall machine controllability.
