The integration of advanced technology in construction machinery is transforming the industry, making it more efficient and productive. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The expanding manufacturing and distribution facilities are driving the market growth. Companies are focusing on expanding their production capabilities to cater to the growing demand for construction tools globally. An increase in production capacity helps companies cater to the demands of customers across the world. Therefore, various companies are investing in expansion projects. For instance, in 2021, Volvo Group expanded its parts distribution network in Western US. Similarly, in April 2022, Joseph Cyril Bamford Excavators Ltd (JCB) announced that it would open a new manufacturing plant in Gujarat, India.
Moreover, manufacturers in the construction industry focus on providing convenient services to their consumers and are expanding their manufacturing capabilities for easy maintenance and repair. This can help them differentiate themselves from their rivals and increase revenue growth in the long run. Thus, the expansion of manufacturing and distribution facilities by various companies is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The emergence of smart cities is a key trend in the market. Smart cities require the integration of information and communication and the adoption of the latest technologies for effective management of operations. The emergence of smart cities leads to developments in functional areas such as transportation, traffic management, energy efficiency and sustainability, and governance. An increase in the number of smart city projects globally will fuel the need for the installation of road safety tools in advanced road network systems. This will create growth opportunities for vendors operating in the market.
Moreover, aligned with market trends and analysis, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has created a collaborative platform to strengthen the vision of smart city projects. Efficient waste management, smart streetlights, smart highways, parking sensors, and improved security are a few major objectives of smart cities. Thus, the increase in the number of smart cities across the globe will support the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Stringent regulations on the construction industry are challenging market growth. Countries are focusing on combating climate change and are making manufacturing and construction processes cleaner and greener. This has compelled environmental bodies across the world to come up with stringent emission regulations for factories, production facilities, waste management, machinery, and equipment. For instance, the EU has announced a Stage V exhaust emission regulation, which limits the emission of PM g/kWh to 0.015 to 0.4 oxides of nitrogen (Nox) g/kWh. It also requires vendors to install additional parts, such as DPF, in the equipment.
Thus, the need to comply with new and strict emission regulations introduced by various countries adversely affects the profit margins of various manufacturers. The design and manufacturing of machinery should comply with new norms that require manufacturers to equip machinery with new components. However, this results in increased costs, which will limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The owned equipment segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. The segment comprises machines that are owned by construction companies, contractors, and other stakeholders. These machines are used for various construction activities, such as excavation, transportation, lifting, and material handling. The machines in this segment include excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and cranes. The growth of this segment can be attributed to factors such as infrastructure development in emerging economies, increasing urbanization, and growing demand for residential and commercial properties.

The owned equipment segment was valued at USD 5.74 billion in 2018. The growing trend of renting tools has also boosted the owned segment's growth. Many companies and contractors prefer to own their machines instead of renting them to save costs. This trend has led to an increase in the demand for owned segment. These factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
The commercial segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. This segment consists of commercial buildings, such as shops, hotels, restaurants, office spaces, industrial buildings, schools, and hospitals. In the Middle East, the commercial segment is registering growth in countries such as the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia owing to the strong investments in the commercial sector. For instance, in June 2021, Enable Midstream Partners, LP, announced that it had received approval from FERC to construct and operate the Gulf Run Pipeline project. In addition, the emergence of multinational companies has led to a rise in the number of employees and office spaces globally. The rising number of technological and business parks is triggering the demand in commercial spaces, which is expected to increase during the forecast period.
