The electricity transmission poles market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for electricity transmission poles has seen substantial growth in the past few years. The market is projected to increase from $7.68 billion in 2024 to $8.21 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
This previous growth can be traced back to the surge in factories across different sectors, expansion in urban infrastructure, escalating demand for dependable and effective electricity transmission systems, a transition towards renewable energy, and increased governmental investments.
The electricity transmission poles market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for substantial growth in the electricity transmission poles market in the coming years, with the market size predicted to reach $10.63 billion by 2029, displaying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%.
Factors contributing to this forecasted growth include greater public and private investments, the escalating popularity of cement, increased electricity usage, a surge in demand for effective energy distribution, and the implementation of sustainable practices. Notable trends throughout this period will be progressive developments in the global energy industry, technological innovation, smart grid projects, the incorporation of intelligent technologies, and the integration of renewable energy sources.
The electricity transmission poles market is anticipated to accelerate its growth trajectory due to the ongoing push towards renewable energy. This form of energy comes from natural resources including sunlight, wind, water, and biomass that are not only sustainable but also have a minimal environmental footprint. The shift towards these renewable sources stems from growing environmental apprehensions, emphasis on energy security and independence, innovation in grid modernization and intelligent technologies, coupled with governmental policies and perks. Electricity transmission poles play an important role in the renewable energy industry as they allow for efficient transmission of clean energy, assimilation of renewable sources into the power grid, and perpetuate dependable power delivery to customers, all while supporting environmental sustainability and lessening the dependence on fossil fuels. Say, for example, as per a report from the European Environment Agency, a Denmark-based government body, in January 2025 renewable energy made up 24.5% of the European Union’s end use of energy in 2023, demonstrating an increase from 23.5% in the previous year, with an aim to reach 42.5% by 2030. Thus, this shift towards renewable energy remains a key driver for growth in the electricity transmission poles market.
