Crash Barrier Systems Market
Market Synopsis:
As per the assessment published by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global safety barrier systems market is poised to strike a steady CAGR during the forecast period 2016 to 2021. The expansion of the market is supported by the growth of the two major industries – construction and automotive. Both the industries have been witnessing substantial revenue generation and are likely to exhibit the same trend in the years to come.
The red flags raised by the alarming rate of road accidents are expected to propel the expansion of the crash barrier systems market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.25 million people lose their lives in road accidents every year. It further indicates that on average 3,287 people are dying every day in these accidents. In addition, 20-50 million people are either severely injured or disabled every year. It has gained the attention of the governments who are investing in the deployment of the effective crash barrier systems for ensuring road safety.
The focus on infrastructural development and expansion of road networks is prognosticated to drive the proliferation of the crash barrier systems market globally over the next couple of years. Furthermore, the increase in the road traffic coupled with the growth of the transportation industry is anticipated to favor the expansion of the crash barrier systems market in the foreseeable future.
