  • DATAPOINT. North American Pavers, 2022 Estimated Production: 2,900 Units

    NORTH AMERICAN REPORT

    2,900 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Pavers to be produced in the U.S. and Canada during 2022.

    This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.

    Exports: Collectively, up to 40% worldwide.

    Market Share:  With combined plant totals of 20%, VT LeeBoy (includes LB Performance Paving) leads in production of Pavers in North America.  In second position with 17% is Weiler; third place is held by Cat Global Paving with 16.5%.    

    Trends: In 2021, production of Pavers in North America increased 17%.  Production is expected to gain another 3% in 2022 to about 2,900 units. This increase is based on growth in road related repairs and increased international sales.   

    Despite 2020 uncertainties, mostly affected by COVID related issues, 2021 showed a strong increase in production.  This turnaround from 2020 focused on repairing crumbling roads and bridges that are a concern throughout many regions.  COVID factors caused government transportation departments to reduce or cancel road construction and maintenance projects in 2020. 

    Stabilization of this paver market segment this year will depend on factors that may include public funding and the demand for “greener” products due to environmental issues and concerns.  Overall, production is expected to rise slowly over the next three years with a gain of up to 5%.    PSR

    Michael Aistrup

    The global e-motorcycle market has experienced high growth in the last couple of years, fueled in part by the declining price of Lithium-ion batteries. The battery is one of the most expensive components of an e-motorcycle, and changes in the price of Li-ion batteries affect the entire cost of an e-motorcycle. The cost of Li-ion batteries has been steadily declining, and this trend is likely to continue.
