The global earthmoving equipment market size is expected to reach USD 99.90 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global demand for earthmoving equipment is propelled by rapid urbanization and the necessity for modern infrastructure. Governments worldwide are investing substantially in infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, airports, and railways. For instance, in May 2023, in the U.S. government announced funding of over USD 220 billion for over 32,000 projects across the U.S. As part of the Investing in America agenda, the administration is rebuilding the bridges & roads, cleaning up legacy pollution, high-speed internet, and replacing lead pipes to provide clean water. Such government initiatives increase the demand for earthmoving equipment in the country. Additionally, the accelerated urbanization and population growth in various regions necessitate the construction of residential and commercial buildings to accommodate the expanding population.
However, the growing popularity of earthmoving equipment rentals presents a significant challenge for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Renting provides access to top-notch equipment without significant initial investments, reducing financial risks. Customers prefer flexible rental options that eliminate long-term ownership and maintenance costs. Adapting to these shifting customer preferences is crucial for OEMs to meet evolving market demands. Furthermore, the exorbitant expenses associated with acquiring and upkeeping earthmoving equipment can dissuade potential buyers, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The industry’s capital-intensive nature hampers its expansion and hinders SMEs' access to earthmoving equipment.
Increasing environmental concerns and stricter regulations drive the demand for eco-friendly market. This shift prompts the industry to adopt electric and hybrid-powered equipment, reducing carbon emissions and decreasing noise pollution at construction sites. Manufacturers invest in research and development to improve earthmoving equipment's energy efficiency and sustainability. This trend offers significant opportunities for companies to offer greener alternatives and differentiate themselves in the market. For instance, in February 2023, CNH Industrial N.V. announced an agreement with TOBROCCO-GIANT, a construction equipment company based in the Netherlands. Under the agreement, the TOBROCCO-GIANT’s compact and sub-compact wheel loaders will be supplied under CNH Industrial N.V.’s brands: New Holland Construction and CASE Construction Equipment in North America.
