Growing Awareness about the Advantages of Slurry Type TBM to Bolster the Growth of the Tunnel Boring Machine Industry

Based on machine type, slurry TBM accounts for a significant share in the market, owing to the growing awareness about the various advantages of this type, including high specific gravity and high viscosity, which pressure controls the cutting face, resulting in stability that is obtained even under high pressure. The diameter of slurry TBM is high, making it ideal for high-magnitude excavation. Meanwhile, the shielded TBM segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period, owing to its suitability for a broad range of ground conditions. The shielded TBM can work efficiently in between tough rocks, soft strata, and fractured zones, among others. The product secures a large internal space, which enables safety maintenance and facilitates efficiency in operations.

The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share in the Market

The Asia Pacific is anticipated to be a significant region contributing to the growth of the market. This can be attributed to the increasing tunnel construction projects in countries like India, China, and South Korea, among others. Further, the market is expected to be aided by the increasing government investments towards the improvement of road and rail networks. A surge in government investments in tunnel projects to bolster the commutation between major cities is expected to aid the regional market.

Tunnel Boring Machine: Market Segmentation
