A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423990-36 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• Bollards have been used for centuries as a way to protect buildings, ships, and other structures from damage caused by vehicles. The first bollards were made of wood and were used in the 17th century to protect the mooring posts of ships. In the 19th century, cast iron bollards were introduced, and they were used to protect buildings and other structures from horse-drawn carriages. In the 20th century, bollards became more common in urban areas, and they were used to protect pedestrians from cars. In recent years, bollards have become more advanced, with some models featuring automatic retractable systems and others being made of high-strength materials like steel and concrete. In the United States, the use of bollards has increased significantly in recent years due to concerns about terrorism and vehicle attacks. In 2017, a terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of people in New York City, killing eight people and injuring dozens more. Since then, many cities and businesses have installed bollards to protect pedestrians from similar attacks. Bollards are now a common sight in many urban areas, and they are used to protect everything from government buildings to outdoor dining areas.

• Growth Prediction: Stable

  The bollards (wholesale) industry in the USA is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing demand for safety and security measures in public spaces. The rise in terrorist attacks and vehicle-related accidents has led to an increase in the installation of bollards in public areas such as airports, government buildings, and shopping centers. Additionally, the growth of smart cities and the need for traffic management systems is expected to drive the demand for bollards. The industry is also expected to benefit from the increasing adoption of sustainable materials and the development of new technologies such as automatic retractable bollards. However, the industry may face challenges due to the high cost of installation and maintenance of bollards, as well as the availability of alternative safety measures.
