Crushers are mechanical machines designed to break down solid materials into smaller, more manageable pieces by applying force. They function through the use of compressive, impact, or shear forces, depending on their design and operational principles.
The primary types of crushers include cone crushers, impact crushers, jaw crushers, roll crushers, and others. Cone crushers, in particular, reduce large rocks by compressing them between a rotating cone and a stationary surface to produce uniform-sized materials. Crushers are further classified based on mobility into stationary, mobile, and portable units, and they operate using different power sources such as diesel, electric, and hybrid systems. These machines are widely used in construction, mining, aggregates, and demolition applications.
The crushers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides crushers market statistics, including crushers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a crushers market share, detailed crushers market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the crushers industry. This crushers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The crushers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.01 billion in 2024 to $2.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid urbanization, the expansion of road and highway construction projects, rising demand for residential and commercial infrastructure, increasing industrialization in emerging economies, and a growing need for aggregates.
The crushers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments in green infrastructure, increasing emphasis on waste recycling and circular economy models, growing demand for renewable energy infrastructure, the development of smart cities, and the expansion of metro and high-speed rail networks. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of automation and remote-control systems, adoption of sensor-based monitoring solutions, deployment of energy-efficient motors, incorporation of modular and portable design architectures, advances in wear-resistant materials, and the implementation of predictive maintenance technologies.
The growing demand for aggregates is anticipated to drive significant growth in the crushers market. Aggregates, which include materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and recycled concrete, are essential in producing concrete, asphalt, and other construction materials. This demand is primarily fueled by accelerating urbanization, infrastructure projects, and industrial development, which require large quantities of these materials for roads, buildings, and civil engineering structures. Crushers play a critical role by processing raw materials into various aggregate sizes, ensuring a consistent and high-quality supply for the construction sector. For example, in March 2025, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the estimated value of construction aggregates production increased by 3 percent, from 36.9 billion dollars in 2023 to 38 billion dollars in 2024. Therefore, the rising need for aggregates is directly contributing to the expansion of the crushers market.
Leading players in the crushers market are focusing on innovation, particularly in developing high-performance cone crushers that increase crushing efficiency and capacity. An advanced cone crusher utilizes compressive force within a rotating cone mechanism to break down large rocks into uniform aggregate sizes. These machines are designed for reliability, ease of maintenance, and superior output. For instance, in March 2025, Metso Corporation, a Finland-based equipment provider for the mining and aggregates industries, introduced the Nordberg HPe Series cone crushers, including models HP600e, HP800e, and HP900e. These next-generation crushers deliver up to 15 percent higher capacity and 35 percent greater crushing force compared to previous models, supported by optimized crushing chambers and an advanced automation platform for real-time performance monitoring and control. The design also emphasizes improved safety, faster installation, and extended service life, meeting the increasing demand for efficient and durable crushing solutions in aggregate production.
In June 2024, Propel Industries, an India-based manufacturer of crushing, screening, and washing equipment, acquired Omega Crushing and Screening Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The strategic acquisition aims to combine Propel's manufacturing capabilities with Omega's expertise in electric mobile crushing and screening systems to enhance product innovation, sustainability, and global reach. Omega Crushing and Screening Ltd., based in Ireland, is recognized for its development of eco-friendly and energy-efficient mobile crushing plants. This acquisition reflects Propel's commitment to sustainable technology and positions both companies to address the growing global demand for advanced and environmentally responsible crushing solutions.
