The construction equipment market size was valued at USD 206.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 248.9 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market is attributed to increased infrastructure investments after the COVID-19 pandemic as well as increased investments in urban infrastructure.
Heavy-duty vehicles specifically built for carrying out construction duties, most commonly earthwork operations, are referred to as construction equipment. Heavy machineries, heavy vehicles, heavy hydraulics, engineering equipment, construction equipment, and heavy trucks are just a few terms used to describe them. Any construction procedure requires construction equipment. These machineries are used to perform several activities such as grading, paving, excavating, hauling, and drilling.
Although the construction industry is slowing, new construction equipment sales are estimated to increase during the forecast period. The rising emphasis on public–private partnerships is expected to be one of the causes driving the market. These partnerships are defined as a public-private cooperation for the creation of public infrastructure systems. In this sort of partnerships, a private company manages a project and provides operational and technical skills to government projects.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the demand and supply of construction equipment market. Lockdown across the globe, supply chain disorders, and oscillating supply of raw materials forced manufacturers to shut down production leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period. However, as construction operations resumed in the 2nd quarter of the year, the industry began to see positive growth in many parts of the world.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Government programs that encourage people to buy new homes, such as stimulus packages and reduced mortgage rates, are projected to drive the market during forecast period.
