SAN ANTONIO, TX, January 7, 2026 — Verify Markets’ latest analysis indicates the North American Ground Protection Rental Market generated approximately $2.5 billion in 2025, reflecting steady demand for mats and temporary surfacing across linear infrastructure and heavy civil work. Contractors continue to rent solutions to maintain site access, protect sensitive terrain, and manage operational risk.
The market is expected to reach revenues over $3.9 billion by 2032. Market momentum remains anchored in electric utility and transmission programs and pipeline activity, where projects span long corridors, require heavy equipment, and often bundle services such as installation, removal, environmental support, and logistics.
Key factors shaping demand
● Grid upgrades and data center buildouts are translating into more right-of-way work that favors rental deployment of temporary roads and work pads.
● Pipeline construction and integrity programs continue to utilize timber and crane mats for heavy tracked machinery and soft ground access.
● Public infrastructure funding sustains civil construction workloads across the region.
● Events and venues drive use of turf and ground protection systems to safeguard fields and stadium surfaces.
● Environmental compliance reinforces stabilized access in wetlands and saturated terrain.
Market themes
Customers are shifting from transactional mat rentals to turnkey site access offerings that coordinate planning, delivery, installation, adjustments, and pickup, an approach that reduces schedule risk and widens billable scope for providers. Suppliers continue incremental product advances emphasizing lighter weights, interlocking geometries, and handling efficiency, particularly across composite systems used in utilities and event environments.
