Market Introduction

A tunnel boring machine is used to excavate tunnels. The machine can bore through numerous ground conditions, such as soft ground, hard rock, variable, and heterogeneous ground. The tunnel diameters can range from 1 meter to ~16 meters. The machine is incorporated with an innovative navigation system to ensure that it digs precisely along the tunnel alignments. It is scrutinized 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and fully equipped with staff facilities. The machine is effective for catering smooth cut, together with constructing concrete shields around the bored tunnels. At the front end of the shield is a rotating cutting wheel, whereas behind the cutting wheel is a chamber. Tunnel boring machines are deployed in several major industries. The successful application of this machine depends on selecting a suitable equipment and cutting tools for the ground conditions to be encountered.    Rising tunnel infrastructure upgrade and increase in tunnel safety regulations are also expected to boost the growth of the North America tunnel boring machine market during the forecast period of 2020 to 2027. Also, increasing infrastructure projects related to roads is expected to create a significant demand for tunnel boring machine in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the North America tunnel boring machine market.

North America is severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. North America, particularly the US, witnessed an unprecedented rise in the number of confirmed cases resulting in large-scale lockdown across different regions and industrial activities. It is one of the most important regions for the adoption and growth of new technologies due to favorable government policies to boost innovation, a huge industrial base, and the high adoption of automation in various industries, especially in developed countries such as the US and Canada. Hence, any hindrance on the growth of industries adversely affects the economic growth of the region. In January 2021, due to a pandemic, restrictions were imposed by British Columbia, Canada. Thus, it disrupted work at construction locations of a Rio Tinto hydropower project and BC Hydro’s Site C dam. The project is likely to resume operations after receiving an approval to surge the number of onsite workers to safely operate the tunnel boring machine. Moreover, the component manufacturer, supply chain, and distributor's lack of availability have significantly disrupted the production of tunnel boring machines. Thus, the market witnessed a drop in the demand from the end-users in 2020 and it is likely to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2021.
