The commercial segment was the largest and was valued at USD 25.51 billion in 2018. The rental services sector is also gaining traction due to the high initial investment required for purchasing heavy construction machinery. Infrastructure investments in smart city development, transportation, and national highway projects are expected to boost market growth. However, the environmental imbalance caused by ozone emissions from heavy construction equipment is a concern. To mitigate this, there is a growing trend toward the adoption of battery-powered equipment and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in construction machinery for improved productivity and reduced environmental impact. The mining, agriculture, forestry, material handling, waste management, and municipal services sectors are significant consumers of construction equipment. The equipment rental industry is expected to grow in parallel with the increasing number of infrastructure projects.
Increased investment in infrastructure is notably driving market growth. The construction equipment market in APAC is experiencing significant growth due to escalating infrastructure investments and increasing construction activities. Urbanization in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations is driving the demand for construction equipment, with governments investing heavily in smart city development and urban infrastructure to accommodate growing populations. The focus on automation and technologically upgraded equipment, including fuel-efficient cranes, earthmoving equipment, concrete equipment, road building equipment, and civil engineering equipment, is also contributing to the market growth. Rental services for material handling equipment, such as forklifts, pavers, dozers, and other heavy construction machinery, are increasingly popular in the region.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responding to the demand for eco-friendly equipment by producing battery-powered and fuel-efficient alternatives. The integration of ICT, Internet of Things (IoT), and Construction machinery is revolutionizing the industry, enhancing equipment efficiency and reducing environmental imbalance, including ozone emissions. National highway projects and transportation infrastructure are also significant contributors to the market growth. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The growing trend of construction equipment rentals is the key trend in the market. Amidst the economic downturn following the 2008 financial crisis, construction companies have had to prioritize efficiency in their operations to remain competitive. The high initial investment required for acquiring expensive construction equipment, such as cranes, bulldozers, and concrete mixers, makes it challenging for companies to purchase machinery for smaller-scale projects or those of short duration. To ensure flexibility and adaptability to the economic climate, construction firms increasingly opt for renting equipment from the equipment rental industry. This arrangement not only saves capital expenditure but also eliminates the burden of maintenance costs.
Moreover, the growing emphasis on infrastructure investments for smart city development, national highway projects, and municipal services in sectors like mining, agriculture, forestry, waste management, and civil engineering, necessitates the use of advanced, technologically upgraded equipment. This includes automated machinery, fuel-efficient equipment, and ICT-enabled solutions such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Construction machinery. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responding to this demand by producing a diverse range of heavy construction equipment, material handling equipment, and road building equipment. The shift towards battery-powered equipment, like forklifts and pavers, further underscores the industry's commitment to reducing environmental imbalance and ozone emissions. Thus, such trends will shape the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing secondhand machine equipment is the major challenge that affects the growth of the market. The market faces a significant challenge with the increasing prevalence of secondhand machinery in construction activities. This trend is particularly prominent in emerging economies such as China, India, and Pakistan, where many manufacturing industries have established operations due to the region's low-cost manufacturing facilities. Asian contractors and mining companies are keen on procuring secondhand construction equipment, including excavators, at affordable prices, allowing them to manage their capital investments effectively. Small manufacturers find it challenging to acquire new machinery due to their high costs. However, the construction equipment market is witnessing several trends that are expected to offset the impact of secondhand machinery.
Infrastructure investments, smart city development, and environmental concerns are driving the demand for technologically upgraded equipment, such as automated cranes, earthmoving equipment, concrete equipment, and road building equipment. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responding to this trend by producing fuel-efficient equipment, incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) and ICT technologies, and offering rental services for heavy construction machinery. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on reducing environmental imbalance and ozone emissions is leading to the adoption of battery-powered equipment, such as forklifts, pavers, and dozers, in material handling and waste management, as well as municipal services. Hence, the above factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period
