The construction equipment market is projected to grow from USD 148.02 billion in 2024 to USD 186.62 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 3.9%.
The construction equipment industry is expanding in the Asia Pacific due to growing urbanization, increased infrastructure development in Asia’s emerging economies, population expansion, and rising disposable income. Technological advancements in construction equipment, such as automation, telematics integration, and the adoption of AI and 5G connectivity, will increase productivity, safety, and fuel efficiency, propelling the demand for new and advanced construction equipment.
DRIVER: Increasing Demand for Sustainable Construction Solutions
With the increasing use of zero-carbon solutions, governments worldwide are closely following and regularly changing emission regulations. Almost all developed countries, such as the US, China, the UK, Germany, France, and Japan, have established frameworks and regulations to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the transportation sector, and the same has been reflected in non-road vehicle segments as well. New laws such as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and the European Green Deal are also pushing environmental standards, intensifying the examination of project design, execution, and upkeep processes. The United Nations has unveiled multiple ambitious sustainability projects for the construction industry. For instance, the Paris Agreement outlines a projected 30% reduction in energy intensity per square meter within buildings by 2030.
