Global Utility Locator Market is valued at approximately USD 786.59 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.9% over the forecast period 2022-2029. A utility locator is a device that is used for identifying and mapping underground utilities such as electric cable distribution, telecommunication lines, water, and wastewater pipes, fiber optics, traffic lights, gas pipelines, etc. The market growth is majorly driven by the rising concern for the safety and protection of underground utilities and the rising benefits of utility locator systems over traditional techniques or technologies.

The introduction of standards and ease in regulations related to utility locators is expected to drive market growth.

Therefore, the favorable policies scenario and ease in regulations related to utility locators are fostering the growth of the market. The growing need for real-time utility locating, as well as rising requirements for infrastructure maintenance operations is anticipated to create various opportunities in the forecasting years. However, the high cost of ownership and maintenance of utility locators and different weather and soil conditions are hindering market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Utility Locator Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World. North America dominated the marketin terms of revenue, owing to the concern for public safety & security and increasing government support to avoid damage to pipelines & other utilities during the remodeling & infrastructure development initiatives. Whereas, the Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Factors such as rising investment in infrastructure development, as well as growing investments in construction activities, are burgeoning the market growth in the forecasting years.
