MARKET OVERVIEW

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

Demolition works are operations whose final objective is the deconstruction of a building or structure in order to reclaim a piece of land for the construction of a new structure. These large-scale works require numerous authorizations and must comply with certain strict obligations, particularly in terms of safety.

The work, which is carried out by construction and/or public works companies, involves a number of stages:

  • Obtaining a demolition permit;
  • Hiring a specialized company;
  • Securing the site (e.g. by fencing off public access);
  • Removing asbestos, plumbing and cleaning the building prior to demolition;
  • Start work;
  • Clean-up.

The global demolition market is developing against a backdrop of rapid urbanization and the need to optimize spacing in large cities. In particular, demolition robots and debris recycling are on the rise, which speaks to an increase in demolition work worldwide.

In France, the demolition market (NAF 43.11Z) has seen very significant growth since 2015, in fact it has almost doubled. In France, the market has been stimulated by urbanization and the increase in the number of new buildings under construction. For the year 2022, there will be 16,529 property demolition permits in France. However, the demolition market remains small when placed in the context of the overall construction market.

from July 1, 2023, new regulations will be in force, including the requirement for a PEMD diagnosis for major demolition and renovation projects. This diagnosis is essential for optimum management of the products, equipment, materials and waste resulting from these works.

1.2 The global market is growing
