What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Flood Barrier Market's Growth?
The growth of the flood barrier market is anticipated to be driven by the uptick in flood events. Floods, which are often the result of heavy rain, snowmelt, or overflow from bodies of water like rivers, lakes, or oceans, are natural disasters that lead to an excess of water in a specific area. Flood barriers are tailored and employed to lessen the effects of these disasters. Their role is to act as defense mechanisms, by either preventing or limiting the amount of floodwater that enters susceptible zones, thereby decreasing the harm caused by such floods. For instance, ReliefWeb, a humanitarian information service located in the US, reported in March 2023 that floods in Pakistan affected 33 million individuals leading to 1,739 deaths and causing an economic damage that amounted to US$15 billion in 2022. Moreover, drownings caused by floods reached 603 in Nigeria, resulting in a cost of $4.2 billion in 2022. As a result, the emphasis on increasing flood events is propelling the growth of the flood barrier market.
