Market Introduction

In Europe, the market is propelling due to increase in road infrastructure projects and deployment of microtunnels for wastewater applications. Europe is a crucial market for the future growth of the tunnel boring machine market. The region is characterized by well-developed countries—such as the UK, Germany, and France—which drive the adoption of tunnel boring machines equipped with advanced systems in road and railway tunnels. Additionally, the presence of a large number of tunnel boring machine manufacturers in this region is contributing to the increased penetration of tunnel boring machines in Europe. It is anticipated that the tunnel boring machine market in Europe would grow at a significant CAGR from 2020 to 2027. This can be attributed to growing demand for these machines from countries, such as UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Russia. Construction and transport infrastructure sectors are mounting at an impressive pace in these countries due to rise in disposable incomes, increase in urbanization, supportive government policies, and surge in number of public-private partnerships in the infrastructure sector. All these factors are anticipated to offer ample growth opportunities for tunnel boring machine market players in. Also, , microtunneling projects coming to focus is expected to create a significant demand for tunnel boring machine in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the Europe tunnel boring machine market.

In Europe, several countries suffered an economic hit due to a lack of revenue from various industries. Many of these member states have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders. This impacted market growth in Europe in 2020. The impact of COVID-19 varied from country to country across the European region as selected countries witnessed a surge in the number of confirmed cases and subsequently attracted stringent and more extended lockdown periods of social isolation resulting in disruption of business. European countries represent a significant market for tunnel boring machine adoption and growth due to rising investment by the government in railway and road infrastructure and tunnel automation initiatives in various countries. The lockdown has affected the tunnel infrastructure development in European countries and affected tunnel up-gradation activities, thus impacting the growth of the tunnel boring machine market in this region. In addition to this, the disruptions in raw materials and component supply from China aggravated the problems faced by tunnel boring machine manufacturers in this region. All these factors are expected to have a direct impact on the market growth in European countries. Russia, UK, Italy, Spain, and France markets witnessed worst impact in 2020 and likely till Mid-2021 also.
