The global crash barrier systems market size was nearly USD 7.70 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 12.10 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for safety measures on roads and highways in emerging economies.

Crash barrier systems also known as road safety barriers are an essential component of roads and highways infrastructure. They are mostly deployed on the valley side of the hill road and blind curves to prohibit the entry of vehicles into dangerous areas. These barriers prevent vehicles from colliding with other vehicles.

Crash Barrier Systems Market Outlook

The growing traffic and road accident is a major concern across the world. According to a report published by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, globally, every year more than 1.33 million people suffer serious injuries or face death due the road accidents. However, crash barriers contribute to reducing these numbers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the crash barrier systems market. The implementation of lockdowns by various governments disrupted the global crash barrier manufacturing and installations due to the lack of raw materials and labor shortage. The demand for portable crash barriers has decreased owing to the closing of commercial as well as residential spaces. Further, the strict regulation on transportation and travel had reduced the use of vehicle crash barrier systems.

Major Drivers

Rising number of vehicle accidents due to reckless driving, overspeeding, and other causes is propelling the demand for the crash barrier systems market. The rapid urban construction of roads, highways, and other infrastructure projects requires the installation of a crash barriers system to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. Further, the implementation of strict rules and regulations by the government regarding the use of crash barriers is boosting the market.

The increasing concerns regarding road safety among people are a key trend in the market. The rising need for safe and secure road traveling driving the demand driving the crash barrier systems market. The crash barriers are the preferred choice for ensuring road safety due to strong defense against accidental situations.

  • According to a report published by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, globally over 1.33 Mn people yearly are getting serious injuries or facing deaths due the road accidents.


Existing Restraints

Increasing prices of raw materials for crash barriers are expected to hinder the market. These barriers are commonly made of materials such as steel and concrete. The price volatility and disruption in the global supply chain of raw materials are making it difficult to manufacturers to produce affordable crash barriers.

Emerging Opportunities

The development of lightweight materials and advanced manufacturing techniques are likely to create favorable opportunities for players competing in the crash barrier systems market. The manufacturers have adopted modern technologies to produce strong, durable, and easy-to-install portable crash barriers. Further manufacturers are focusing on the development of eco-friendly and sustainable materials such as glass fiber-reinforced wood for crash barriers.

Crash Barrier Systems Market Segment Insights

Type Segment Analysis

Based on type, the crash barrier systems market is divided into portable/moveable and fixed/immovable. The fixed/immovable segment is expected to hold a major revenue share of the market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing investment made by government organizations in the development of infrastructures such as highways and roads.

Crash barriers are installed on various roadside areas such as mountain roads, hilly roads, urban highways, or roadways beside water bodies. These vehicle crash barriers are designed to provide a safety barrier for vehicles and protect them from crashing or falling into the side of the road.

  • According to the US Department of Transportation, per year around 30% to 40% of dangerous accidents occur due to run-off-road crashes.


The portable/moveable segment is expected to hold a considerable market share in the coming years, due to the technological advancement that enables the creation of lightweight yet robust movable barriers. These barriers are used temporarily to redirect traffic from mainstream roads and during construction work. The growing demand for portable barriers to ensure effective crowd control in public roadside spaces is driving the segment.

Technology Segment Analysis

In terms of technology, the crash barrier systems market is fragmented into flexible, rigid, and semi-rigid. The rigid segment is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR during the projected period, owing to the growing demand for durable and strong barrier solutions owing to the heavy traffic and the regular incidence of accidents. These barriers are made of sturdy materials and are designed to provide robust protection in the event of a collision. Rigid barriers are durable against harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, moisture, and UV radiation.

The flexible segment is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR in the coming years. Flexible barriers are designed to absorb the impact of a collision and reduce the severity of the crash to minimize the damage to vehicles and passengers. These factors are anticipated to drive the growth of this segment as they are less likely to cause serious injury or death compared to rigid barriers. The flexible barriers are cost-effective to install and maintain and are made of recycled materials to reduce the environmental impact.

Crash Barrier Systems Market Technology

Device Segement Analysis

Based on the device, the crash barrier systems market is divided into crash cushions, GEAT, and end treatments. The crash cushions segment is expected to hold a major market share during the forecast period. Crash cushions are designed to absorb and divert the kinetic force of vehicles caused by accidents to reduce the chances of collision with roadside structures or personnel. These barriers are typically installed near the permanent structure such as in front of buildings, gore locations, under the bridge, and other places.

Application Segment Analysis

On the basis of application, the crash barrier systems market is divided into work zone, roadside, medians, and bridge. The roadside segment is expected to hold a considerable market share in the coming years. This is attributed to the increasing government investment in the infrastructural development of roads and highways in emerging countries.

Roadside barriers are made of steel and concrete to provide protection against high-impact collisions and minimize the risk of falling vehicles from elevated structures. They are designed to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway and colliding with pedestrians, buildings, or other obstacles.

Crash Barrier Systems Market Application

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global crash barrier systems market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Europe is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the well-developed infrastructure and advanced transportation facilities.

The various government in European countries are investing heavily in the construction and expansion of their transportation infrastructure including roads,
smart highways, and bridges. Furthermore, the European Union (EU) is impelling stringent safety regulations for the installation of crash barrier systems to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.


The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, due to the rapid urbanization and the increasing need for safe transformation. Emerging economies such as China and India are investing to develop transportation facilities including roadways and highways. These factors are expected to propel the demand for automotive crash barrier systems.

  • For instance, India allotted around 2.2 trillion INR during the financial year 2023 for roads and national highway building. Furthermore, the minister of road transportation and highways of India announced the development of 2 lakh km of national highways network by 2025. This in turn creates a favorable opportunity for the crash barrier market.
