Most of this CAPEX will be utilized for coal production and evacuation. A significant rise in the mining industry is positively impacting the tunnel boring machine market outlook.
Slurry TBM currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market
The tunnel boring machine market report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the machine type. This includes slurry TBM, earth pressure balance shield TBM, shielded TBM, multi-mode TBM, and others. According to the report, slurry TBM currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
A slurry tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a specialized type of TBM used for excavating tunnels in soft ground conditions, such as clay, silt, sand, and gravel. It operates by mixing excavated soil with a bentonite or polymer-based slurry, which helps stabilize the tunnel face and transport the excavated material back to the surface. The slurry also provides support to prevent tunnel collapse. Slurry TBMs include their ability to work efficiently in unstable ground conditions, reduced groundwater inflow into the tunnel, and the potential for continuous operation. They are commonly used in projects such as subway tunnels, sewer tunnels, and underwater tunnels, where ground conditions require additional stabilization and support during excavation.
Hard ground TBM accounts for the majority of the global market share
A hard ground tunnel boring machine (TBM) is specifically designed to excavate through dense and rocky formations, such as granite, basalt, or hard limestone. These TBMs employ robust cutterheads with disc cutters or roller cutters, reinforced with tungsten carbide or other hard materials, to effectively break through hard rock formations. Hard ground TBM offers increased efficiency and reduced wear on cutting tools compared to traditional drilling methods. They are extensively used in the construction of transportation tunnels, water supply tunnels, and underground infrastructure projects, enabling faster and more cost-effective excavation in challenging geological conditions.
Traffic tunneling currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market
A traffic tunneling TBM is a specialized excavation tool designed for creating underground passages for vehicular traffic. These machines reduce surface disruption, minimize traffic congestion during construction, and offer enhanced safety compared to traditional methods. These machines are used in urban areas for constructing road tunnels, bypasses, and underground highways, facilitating smoother transportation flow and improving overall urban mobility. Moreover, the increasing number of highway and roadway construction projects and the expanding underground railway networks are further propelling the tunnel boring machine market's recent price. For instance, in June 2023, Delhi Metro initiated the phase IV project with the "Bhoomi" Tunnel Boring Machine. The TBM commenced operations from Derawal Nagar to Pulbangash on Line 8.
Metro and transit holds the largest market share
Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are essential in metro and transit projects for excavating underground passages efficiently and safely. They enable the construction of subway tunnels, underground stations, and transit corridors with minimal surface disruption. Additionally, as per the tunnel boring machine market statistics by IMARC, the rising number of metro expansion projects across the globe is bolstering the growth of this segment. For instance, Ahmedabad is expanding its metro rail network to connect Thaltej to Manipur and Shilaj to Motera, integrating upcoming infrastructure projects for the city's Olympic bid. The expansion will cover areas like Bopal, Shela, Ghuma, and surrounding areas, with feeder buses introduced in western areas. Besides this, TBMs are increasingly being favored for metro and transit projects as they contribute to sustainable urban development by reducing the environmental impact associated with surface-level construction activities.
Asia-Pacific currently dominates the global market
Asia-Pacific is experiencing a boom in infrastructure, with major projects in India, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. For instance, the end of 2023 marked the opening of several new metro lines and extensions in cities across China, including the 23.3km Line 19 in Wuhan. Similarly, in March 2024, the Prime Minister of India inaugurated Kolkata's underwater metro tunnel, along with multiple metro and connectivity projects across India. Moreover, Vietnam is also planning to replace the bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Hanoi with new metro rail lines. The tunnel boring machine market overview indicates that such initiatives by the government authorities of various Asia-Pacific countries are anticipated to propel the growth of the market in the coming years.
