Fence & Scaffolding Manufacturing in the US Industry Data and Analysis
Fence and scaffolding manufacturers have dealt with major volatility through the current period. At the start of the period, the pandemic slammed core construction markets, eliminating a major source of nonresidential construction despite thriving residential markets. Subsequent interest rate hikes offset gains from strong residential markets, injecting new uncertainty to the industry. Contracts lapsed as fewer contractors needed new fences and scaffolding products. Some government projects have also created demand for the industry's products, with the IIJA and CHIPS Act driving infrastructure, utility and technology construction. Even so, major uncertainty has prevented the industry from returning to pre-pandemic growth rates, instead ending the period with minor revenue declines. Overall, revenue has climbed at an estimated CAGR of 1.4% to $3.4 billion through the current period, despite a 1.3% drop in 2025, where profit reached 7.6%.
