Excavators, crucial construction equipment in the building industry, are utilized for tasks involving earth extraction, movement, and transportation of loose materials like gravel, sand, or soil within construction sites. They efficiently handle activities such as picking and placing, digging, landscaping, demolition, and material handling.
Within the category of excavators, several types prevail, including mini/compact excavators, crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, among others. Mini/compact excavators are smaller, lighter variants weighing between 0.7 and 6 tons. Featuring a shorter swing radius superstructure, these excavators offer advantages in urban or confined settings. Excavators vary in operating weight, classified into weight ranges of up to 50K kg, 51K to 75K kg, and 76K kg and above. They operate through various mechanisms such as electric, hydraulic, and hybrid, with power ratings falling within ranges of 0-300 bhp, 300-500 bhp, and 500 bhp and above.

The excavator market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $50.29 billion in 2023 to $53.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Historical growth can be attributed to the demands within earthmoving and excavation, expansion in the construction industry, growth of the mining sector, operations related to demolition, installation of utilities and pipelines, landscaping and grading activities, as well as developments in forestry and logging.
The excavator market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $65.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by several factors, including a heightened focus on operator comfort and safety, sustainability initiatives, compatibility with various attachments, development in emerging markets, and an emphasis on improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. Major trends expected during this period involve technological advancements in excavator design, the emergence of hybrid and electric excavators, integration of telematics and IoT capabilities, the adoption of autonomous and remote-controlled excavators, growth in the rental market, and an increased demand for compact and mini excavators.
The expansion of the global construction industry significantly contributes to the excavator market's growth. This sector encompasses activities related to infrastructure construction, renovation, and maintenance. Excavators are favored in construction due to their adaptability in rough terrains, versatility, and ease of transportation. For example, in May 2022, the National Highways Authority of India reported a substantial surge of over 300% in the annual construction of national highways, reaching 3,963 km during 2021-22. This upsurge in construction activity signals a potential growth trajectory for the excavator market.
Anticipated growth in global trade is poised to elevate the excavator market. Global trade denotes the exchange of goods, services, and capital across international borders. Excavators are crucial in port development, cargo handling, and infrastructure projects, facilitating efficient goods movement. A report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in September 2023 forecasts a 2.4% rise in maritime trade for 2023, with consistent growth projected from 2024 to 2028. The increased oil and gas trade, rising by 6.0% and 4.6%, respectively, in 2022, further amplifies the demand for excavators.
Leading companies in the excavator market focus on innovative products, including demolition excavators, to cater to diverse customer needs. Demolition excavators are specialized machines designed for structure and building demolition. For instance, Volvo Construction Equipment introduced the EC300E Straight Boom demolition excavator in February 2023. Distinguished by its 23-foot-long straight boom, this crawler excavator offers superior height and reach capabilities compared to conventional models. Safety features, such as a frame-mounted Falling Objects Guard and impact-resistant glass windows, ensure operator protection in challenging demolition environments.
Major players in the excavator market are innovating with products like mini excavators to broaden their customer base and drive revenue growth. Mini excavators, also known as compact excavators, are designed for precise digging in confined spaces. For instance, in June 2023, Kubota Corporation unveiled an 8.5-ton mini-excavator with a two-piece boom option, providing extended reach and improved efficiency in narrow spaces. Enhanced hydraulic controls allow operators to manage arm, boom, bucket, and swivel functions simultaneously, elevating work efficiency and productivity.
In August 2021, CNH Industrial N.V., a UK-based capital goods company specializing in manufacturing agricultural machinery and construction equipment, completed the acquisition of Sampierana for $151 million.
