Market Overview
The construction equipment market is poised for robust growth, with projections indicating it will exceed $236.9 billion by 2031. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% from 2024 to 2031. Several factors are driving this market expansion, including increased government spending on infrastructure projects and a pressing need to enhance efficiency, productivity, and safety in construction operations. Furthermore, the surge in automation within the construction sector presents additional opportunities for market growth.
However, it is essential to recognize the challenges that may impact this market. Stringent international trade policies, high equipment costs, and a shortage of skilled operators present significant hurdles that could restrain growth. Despite these challenges, the increasing demand for compact construction machinery and the rising adoption of electric equipment are noteworthy trends influencing the market landscape.
Market Segmentation
The report categorizes the construction equipment market into distinct segments based on type, propulsion type, and end user. This segmentation allows for a detailed analysis of the competitive landscape and regional dynamics.
By Type
The construction equipment market is broadly segmented into:
Material Handling Equipment
Concrete and Road Construction Equipment
Earth-Moving Equipment
Other Construction Equipment
Among these, the material handling equipment segment is expected to dominate, accounting for 40.0% of the market share in 2024. This dominance is attributed to factors such as rapid industrialization, ongoing modernization efforts in industrial infrastructure, and an increasing need for efficient material handling solutions that reduce reliance on manual labor and enhance productivity. Additionally, the proactive approach of market players in launching innovative products contributes to the growth of this segment. A notable example is Hyundai Construction Equipment India's recent product launch, which included multiple models of excavators, forklifts, and wheel loaders aimed at fortifying its presence in the infrastructure, mining, and material handling sectors.
Conversely, the earth-moving equipment segment is projected to achieve the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to escalating investments in residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects, alongside rising demand for earth-moving machinery for tasks such as grading soil, digging trenches, and demolition. Partnerships among market players are enhancing offerings within this segment, exemplified by CanLift Equipment Ltd.'s collaboration with Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd. to expand its product line in Ontario.
By Propulsion Type
The report segments the construction equipment market based on propulsion type into:
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
Electric
CNG/LNG
In 2024, the ICE segment is anticipated to hold the largest share, representing 53.0% of the market. This preference is largely due to the established advantages of ICE equipment, including ease of use, high power-to-weight ratios, and cost-effectiveness compared to electric alternatives. Market players are continually expanding their product portfolios, as evidenced by Crown Equipment Corporation's recent launch of IC and electric counterbalance forklifts with capacities of up to 5.5 tons.
On the other hand, the electric segment is expected to demonstrate the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is fueled by the operational benefits of electric construction machinery, such as lower operating costs and reduced maintenance needs. Supportive government initiatives aimed at promoting electric machinery adoption further bolster this segment's growth. Notably, Action Construction Equipment Ltd. launched an electric crane with a lifting capacity of 180 tons, illustrating the industry's shift towards sustainability.
By End User
The construction equipment market is also analyzed based on end users, which include:
Construction Companies
Government Agencies
Private Contractors
Aerospace & Defense Companies
Mining Companies
Other End Users
In 2024, the construction companies segment is expected to dominate, capturing 55.0% of the market share. The segment's growth is driven by increased global investments in infrastructure development and the growing adoption of advanced equipment aimed at enhancing project speed and efficiency amid labor shortages in the construction sector. Furthermore, this segment is projected to achieve the highest CAGR during the forecast period as leading companies invest in developing advanced construction machinery. A recent example is Skanska's pilot project involving a zero-emissions electric excavator, specifically designed to meet the demands of the Los Angeles Metro’s Purple Line Extension.
Regional Analysis
Geographically, the construction equipment market is segmented into five major regions:
North America
Asia-Pacific
Europe
Latin America
Middle East & Africa
In 2024, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to hold the largest market share at 45.0%. The region's significant market presence can be attributed to substantial investments in construction projects, a growing emphasis on sustainability and safety, and rapid real estate growth coupled with infrastructure development. Moreover, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to record the highest CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Factors such as rising demand for sustainable construction machinery and strategic initiatives by key players to enhance their market presence contribute to this growth. For instance, Volvo Construction Equipment recently established a dealership in Kuching, Sarawak, to cater to the increasing demand for construction equipment in Malaysia.
