Global Silt Curtain Market Size, Trends & Growth Opportunity, By Product (Type I, Type II, Type III), By Application (Erosion control, Construction), By Region and Forecast till 2027.

Global Silt Curtain Market

The global Silt Curtain market was valued at USD 8.5 million in 2021 which expected to reach USD 10.6 million by 2027 at a CAGR 2.96 % from 2021-2027.

The majority of construction projects near bodies of water include curtains to keep sediments and silts from mixing with the water and contaminating it. It is also being used along shorelines to reduce soil loosening, which will increase demand in the coming years. Because of their ability to reduce clogs by separating sediments and dirt during construction activities, such curtains are expected to see increased use in the marine market. Furthermore, increased government emphasis on bridge and dam maintenance and reconstruction is expected to support market growth in the coming years. Silt curtains are used in dredging, bridge and dam construction, and to keep construction debris out of bodies of water.

Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Type-I Silt Curtains to Drive Silt Curtain Market Growth

The increasing use of type-I silt curtains to control sediment and erosion at construction sites in calm waters with limited wind exposure, such as ponds, canals, streams, and other protected waters, is driving market growth. These curtains are inexpensive and made of lightweight fabric with no aluminium connectors, allowing them to be used in a variety of activities such as road construction, and mining, dredging, and marine or coastal construction. Furthermore, they are increasingly being used in short-term projects and other applications that require a low-cost solution.

Market Restraint

A lack of awareness is likely to stymie market growth. Turbidity windows, silt or turbidity walls, gunderbooms, silt fence, bubble curtain, and other soil erosion protection devices are used on the land. These products are specifically designed to monitor the suspended solids and turbidity in the water column caused by navigation and environmental dredging operations. A silt or turbidity screen is a flow-through filtering system designed for monitoring suspended material and turbidity in the water column by dredging and dredged material disposal operations.

COVID-19 Impact on the Silt Curtain Market

The ongoing COIVD-19 crisis has had a negative impact on the global silt curtain market. Because of the lockdown and travel restrictions, skilled labourers for construction activities near the seashore are in short supply. Furthermore, governmental suspensions or delays in construction activities due to a lack of funds and a growing need to focus on the healthcare sector rather than infrastructure development have reduced demand for silt curtains. Furthermore, the key players' supply chains are expected to be hampered by restrictions on international cargo movement, stifling market growth.

Market Segmentation

The Global Silt Curtain Market is segmented into Product, Application. By Product such as Type I, Type II, Type III. Further, market is segmented into By Application such as Erosion control, Construction.

Regional Analysis

Global Silt Curtain Market is segmented into five regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the Silt Curtain market. Rising use of silt curtains in the restoration of structures damaged by these disasters is expected to supplement regional market growth. Increased dredging activities in France for waterway repair and maintenance are expected to boost demand for silt curtains over the forecast period. The increasing number of renovation projects under the waterway modernization plan by Voies navigables de France (VNF), including the replacement of 29 manually operated dams on the Aisne and Meuse rivers with automated water-inflated dams, is expected to drive market growth in the country.
