Construction Machinery Global Market Report 2025

Construction machinery encompasses heavy-duty machines specifically designed for executing construction tasks. These machines are utilized in various construction projects, aiding in material loading and unloading, transportation of tools and materials to and from construction sites, processing raw materials, handling and transporting materials, vegetation clearance, and multiple other applications.

Primary construction machinery products include earthmoving equipment, material handling machines, building and road construction tools, and autonomous construction equipment. Earthmoving equipment involves machinery used for excavating and moving substantial volumes of soil. Its applications range from excavation and mining to lifting, material handling, transportation, and other diverse uses. End-users of such machinery span across industries such as Oil & Gas, Construction & Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Mining, and various other sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.

The construction machinery market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides construction machinery market statistics, including the construction machinery industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a construction machinery market share, detailed construction machinery market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the construction machinery industry. This construction machinery market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The construction machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $337.44 billion in 2024 to $362.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, the low-interest rate environment, and supportive government initiatives.

The construction machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $487.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in infrastructure, the growing global construction industry, the increasing urbanization, and the rising population. Major trends in the forecast period include market include the development of robotic excavators, a focus on electric construction equipment, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), product innovations, technology advancements, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The forecast of 7.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through delays in acquiring undercarriage components and hydraulic valves, sourced from key regions such as South Korea, France, and China, slowing equipment deliveries to job sites. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

Anticipated growth in construction spending is poised to drive the expansion of the construction machinery market in the foreseeable future. Construction spending, encompassing expenditures on labor, materials, and engineering work within a specified timeframe, serves as a key determinant of construction-related financial outlays. As construction investment rises, construction businesses witness heightened income prospects, subsequently fostering increased demand for construction services, equipment, and materials. Illustratively, data from the US Census Bureau, a government agency based in the United States, indicates that in August 2023, construction spending in the US was estimated at $1,983.5 billion, marking a 0.5% increase from the revised July estimate of $1,973.7 billion. This upswing in construction spending substantiates the driving force behind the growth of the construction machinery market.

The construction machinery market is poised to experience growth driven by escalating investments in infrastructure projects. Projections from the World Economic Forum indicate that global infrastructure investment is expected to reach $79 trillion by 2040. In alignment with this trend, the government of India, as outlined in the Union Budget 2022-23, allocated Rs. 10 lakh crore (US$ 130.57 billion) to significantly boost the infrastructure sector. The substantial increase in infrastructure investments is anticipated to fuel heightened demand for construction machinery and equipment, thereby catalyzing the expansion of the construction machinery market.

Prominent companies in the construction machinery market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products, such as the introduction of mini excavators, to enhance customer services. A mini excavator is a compact construction machine designed for excavation and digging work in confined spaces. These versatile machines are adaptable to various tasks. In July 2023, Komatsu Europe International N.V., a Belgium-based heavyweight in construction machinery manufacturing, unveiled the PC33E-6, a mini excavator. Featuring a 35kWh lithium-ion battery with a long-life design and a highly efficient powerline, this innovation allows most customers to work continuously for a full shift before requiring recharging. The PC33E-6, equipped with a 17.4 kW motor and a short tail design, is well-suited for operations in tight spaces and urban environments. Its heavy-duty, protected electric components ensure durability and reliability for construction projects.

Recent years have witnessed strategic initiatives within the construction machinery market, including partnerships and the launch of cutting-edge products. Key players in the market consistently prioritize collaboration with other entities to expand their product portfolios and geographical reach. For example, Caterpillar Inc., a US-based manufacturer of construction machinery and equipment, announced a partnership agreement with Newmont Mining, a US-based gold producer, to advance underground vehicle automation technology. This collaboration aims to focus on implementing Caterpillar's semi-autonomous system for underground loaders while enhancing existing technology.

In April 2024, Epiroc AB, a Sweden-based productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure sectors, acquired STANLEY Infrastructure, LLC for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance Epiroc AB's presence in the attachments sector for infrastructure and construction, particularly in the United States. The strategic initiative intends to leverage STANLEY Infrastructure's innovative products and reputable brands to drive growth. STANLEY Infrastructure, LLC, is a manufacturer of construction machinery based in Sweden.
