10 September 2018
The Global Tactile Paving Market is expected to witness a considerable growth over the forecast period. This
growth can be attributed to the increasing usage of tactile paving across pedestrian crossing points, railway
platform edges, steps, level crossings, and footpaths. Favorable industry regulations across several regions
and increasing adoption of state-of-the-art urban design concepts for pedestrian pathways are anticipated to
propel the market growth over the next few years. Paving is a method of outdoor flooring that uses raised
surface and textured tiles.
Such raised surface guide visually impaired, partially sighted, and elderly individuals of their environments
and the paths that they are following. The most commonly used forms of solid paving are truncated domes,
detectable warnings, perceptible ground surface indicators, detectable warning surfaces. The blister surface
on the pavement is to provide a warning to visually impaired people who would otherwise find it difficult to
differentiate between where the footway ends and the carriageway begins. Corduroy pavers warn visually
impaired persons of particular hazards such as steps, railway crossings, and footway joins.
Increasing government spending across the globe to offer safer exterior environments with minimal noise
and dust pollution has also augmented the demand for such pavements. Moreover, ease of installation on
any standard outdoor surface with marginal impact on the environment is expected to boost the demand for
these pavements in the coming years. Authorities such as the Department of the Environment, Transport and
the Regions (DETR) in U.K. have issued guidelines on the use of such paving surfaces so that it meets it
purpose.

Pathways on all existing roads, rail stations, footpaths, and offices are being upgraded as per these guidelines
to encourage safety of pedestrians and others in their surroundings. On the other hand, factors such as
ignorance and improper guidance from transport departments and local authorities in regards to exterior
landscapes are restraining the growth of tactile paving market. Moreover, inconsistent layout and errors in
the deployment of such pavements are making them ineffective, thereby hindering its adoption.
Awareness regarding such tactile pavement is minimal in emerging countries, thus many visua lly impaired or
partially sighted or other users do not understand the profiles completely, which leads to the need for
convincing the local authorities of the effectiveness of the method. Furthermore, the scope is limited to
developed countries due to large-scale unplanned exterior environments in developing countries and limited
space availability and crowded spaces in densely populated areas.
However, widespread adoption of urban street design principles that highlight the need of tactile pavements
for safer environments for visually impaired and elderly individuals have positively impacted the market
growth. Rapid infrastructural developments in the urban areas across the globe have also led to rising
demand for these paving techniques, thereby driving the market growth. Increasing investments in
technology developments, such as integration of RFID tags in pavements enabling GPS guidance for the
visually impaired, would also drive the market.
The development of advanced pavements manufactured from specialty materials with pollution controlling
surfaces and increased focus on the environmental sustainability is also likely to contribute toward the
market growth in the years to come. Platform edge warnings at street levels and rail platforms are used to
indicate approaching edges on streets, cycle tracks, and footways to advise users of the correct side to enter
and segregate the tracks. Directional or guidance tactile is used to guide along a route for avoiding obstacles
while walking on the tactile surface or maintaining contact with the cane.
Concrete and natural stones are the two primary raw materials used to produce tactile paving floorings.
Usually, pre-cast concrete and natural stones are chiseled into the necessary texture and form to obtain
pavements. Metallic studs embedded on the surface into paving after the installation is a recent
development enabling any stone surface to be textured to a blistering profile. Asia Pacific tactile paving
market is expected to witness a surge in demand owing to increasing construction and infrastructural
activities in countries such as China, Japan, and India.
U.K. is amongst the leading manufacturers and consumers of tactile pavers due to the strict guidelines
regarding its application. The market in the North America region is expected to grow steadily on account of
rising number of renovation activities and rapid infrastructural development. Companies are using eco friendly raw materials and recycling methods in production so as to reduce the environmental impact
throughout the product life cycle. Partnerships with architects, consultants, and contractors ensure improved
product offering, quality, and performance.

Companies are working on raising the awareness about such paving guides, developing standard codes abou t
various tactile surfaces worldwide for ease of understanding. Training the visually impaired in recognition of
such pathways and navigation methods will be a prominent application for leading companies to increase
their market penetration. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on new product design and development
to offer high-quality products. Some of the key industry participants include ADA Solution, Inc.; Fujian Yangzi
Stone Material; Marshalls; Viztek Ltd.; G-Tech; and Visul Systems Ltd.
