The global mobile crushers and screeners market size was USD 3.55 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 5.28 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing adoption of portable machines for screening and crushing purposes.
Rising mining and construction activities across the globe drive the need for mobile crushers and screeners. These machineries offer several advantages such as strong mobility, low transportation cost, operation safety, minimized material handling, and durability. Key players in the mining and construction sector are inclined toward mobile crushers over traditional ones, as they are easy to use and maintain. The components of these machines can quickly be disassembled and removed for routine maintenance, machine inspection, and repair. This alerts the potential issues and reduces downtime.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the global mobile crushers and screeners market. During the pandemic, governments across the globe imposed strict regulations across the globe to curb the virus spread. The strict regulations on import and export and social distancing resulted in a lack of raw materials and industry workers on-site locations. Major construction companies had to postpone their major projects, which decreased the demand and the usage of mobile crushers and screeners.
Increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective machinery for construction and mining activities drives the market. Mobile crushers have gained popularity over the last few years, as they offer several benefits over traditional stationary ones. Mobile crushers have highly reliable performance as they consist of top-quality and highly efficient crushing equipment. These machineries offer direct and effective operations. Mobile screening machineries are easy to use and due to their ability to easily work with other types of construction equipment make them ideal for quarrying and recycling activities.
High initial investment associated with the mobile crushers and screeners hampers the market. These machineries are costlier than the traditional stationary ones, as these are equipped with advanced components. Some components of these machineries cost much more than the traditional ones such as chassis. Moreover, the maintenance cost of mobile screeners and crushers is relatively high, which can affect the demand for these machineries.
Rising investments in infrastructure activities by governments and private entities are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market during the projection period. Rising mining and construction activities in emerging economies such as China and India are creating the need for advanced equipment and machinery. With the rising need for advanced machinery, private companies, and governments, are heavily investing in machinery required for mining, construction, and other activities. This, as a result, is expected to create favorable opportunities in the market.

Based on machinery type, the mobile crushers and screeners market is divided into crushers and screeners. The crusher segment dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing popularity of mobile crushers over the traditional ones as these have strong mobility and flexible combination. Mobile crushers are used to break down large stones, ores, and rocks into small shapes and sizes. These crushers are gaining rapid popularity for urban construction projects, as these crushers are portable due to their short wheelbase. Moreover, mobile crushers offer the flexibility to combine with other equipment to support other requirements of different crushing applications.
The growing preference for mobile crushers over traditional ones by major construction and mining companies is driving the segment. Mobile crushers, especially jaw and cone crushers, offer low transportation costs and have safety features to protect workers from accidents and hazards. These crushers use diesel-electric engines, which help reduce fuel consumption and environmental footprint.
The screeners segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for high-performance machines for recovering usable construction waste, crushing, and recycling. Mobile screeners are specially designed for these applications, as they have high capacity and performance. The preference for these machines over the traditional ones is increasing, as these machines are highly durable and versatile.
On the basis of application, the mobile crushers and screeners market is segmented into construction aggregates, mining & quarry, material recycling, and others. The mining & quarry segment is expected to register a robust growth during the forecast period, owing to the wide usage of mobile crushers and screeners for mining purposes.
