Global Concrete Pumping Services Procurement Trends

Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Concrete Pumping Services market.

Neutral

Crude oil prices dip, but natural gas and fuel prices remain volatile in 2025

  • Oil prices have been falling with the introduction of higher tariffs and the predicted decline in global demand. The OPEC+ group of countries also announced they would be unwinding production cuts and increasing their collective output target for May by 411,000 barrels per day.
  • Trade wars, ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and general unrest in the Middle East are causing uncertainty surrounding oil prices, which has led to volatility in prices. In the third week of May 2025, crude oil prices hit $63.67 per barrel, but volatility remains as geopolitical concerns remain.
  • Natural gas prices rallied early in 2025 with colder-than-usual temperatures in the United States and high demand, topping out at $4.68/MMBtu in March. Prices have since fallen with the onset of trade wars and weakening demand projections to $3.64/MMBtu in the third week of May 2025.
  • The national average of gasoline prices has been rising slightly due to refinery maintenance/outages and blending issues, hitting a national average of $3.15 per gallon in the third week of May 2025. However, gasoline futures have been volatile, falling due to fears of oversupply and deepening concerns about weakening demand with tariffs, but rising after trade deals.

Billed During

Additional Fees

Buyers can incur a fuel surcharge for orders delivered outside a determined distance from the service provider (usually 10.0% of the service price). Additionally, buyers may incur extra costs if they order the services on short notice, as an expedited fee may be applied to the total bill.

Hidden Fees

While many providers of concrete pumping services offer pricing options that encompass all the costs related to concrete production and delivery, some operators charge separately for related services. As such, in addition to the actual price of concrete pumping, buyers often have to pay for related services offered by concrete contractors, including concrete leveling, formwork, finishing, and reinforcement, also known as rebar.

Delays

Furthermore, additional costs associated with construction project delays can be incurred if services are not delivered on time.

Emergencies

Additionally, buyers may incur extra costs if they order the services on short notice, as an expedited fee may be applied to the total bill.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

Vendor risk among vendors is moderate due to the fragmented nature of the market. Because many providers serve a limited geographic market, any drop in demand from their key buyers can subject them to higher financial risk.

Market share concentration is low despite the high fixed costs associated with transportation, cement, equipment, and complex machinery, which have increased the barriers to entry for new suppliers. Traditionally, the market has always been composed of local suppliers.

The supply chain risk associated with concrete pumping services is moderate. Market suppliers are sensitive to fluctuations in the prices of critical items necessary for operations, such as cement and fuel.

The United States is a net importer of cement, indicating the presence of foreign vendors within the domestic market, increasing price-based competition. However, the reliance on foreign-sourced cement increases supply chain risk and the chance of supply disruptions.
