Update 2025-04-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification regarding resolution criteria:
Installation Type: Only primary new construction—specifically, those instances where poles are actually being built—will be considered.
Geographic Scope: The market now applies worldwide.
Outcome Ambiguity: Note that it remains unclear whether wood poles must represent a majority or merely a plurality of the installations.
@ArtimisFowl primary new construction with “built” being the operative word here i guess.
since i didn’t specify, let’s say worldwide.
if this report summary is to be believed, wood poles are still the largest segment of the utility pole market.
that said, i guess there’s still a bit of ambiguity as to whether that constitutes a majority or just a plurality
