by Scaffolding accessories primarily comprise connectors, fasteners, anchors and other equipment that are used along with scaffolding structures. Scaffolding is a temporary structure erected around buildings or other structures to enable work at heights including maintenance, repair and construction activities. Some key products include brackets, couplers, guardrails and handrails that enhance safety, toe-boards and soleplates that prevent tools and materials from falling. Scaffolding accessories find applications across residential, commercial and industrial verticals for activities such as re-painting, window cleaning and maintenance of buildings. Increase in infrastructure development projects around the world is fueling demand for scaffolding solutions and associated accessories.
The global Scaffolding Accessories Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.68 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
