Construction trucks are heavy-duty, specialized vehicles designed to transport large volumes of construction materials, equipment, and debris both within and between job sites. These vehicles are essential to the construction process, enabling the efficient movement of earth, concrete, gravel, and other critical materials to ensure timely and smooth project execution.
The primary categories of construction trucks include dump trucks, tractor-trailer trucks, cargo trucks, specialized trucks, and others. Dump trucks, in particular, are engineered to efficiently carry and unload bulk materials such as soil, sand, gravel, or demolition waste at construction locations. These trucks are classified based on their gross vehicle weight (GVW), including under 15 tons, 15 to 40 tons, and over 40 tons, and are powered by diesel, hybrid electric, and other propulsion systems.
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 the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.
The construction trucks market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides construction trucks market statistics, including construction trucks industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a construction trucks market share, detailed construction trucks market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the construction trucks industry. This construction trucks 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 construction trucks market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $50.20 billion in 2024 to $53.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rapid urbanization in emerging economies, increased public and private investment in infrastructure development, rising industrialization in developing regions, the expansion of road and highway construction projects, and the growing demand for residential and commercial buildings.
The construction trucks market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $66.00 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased infrastructure budget allocations by national governments, the accelerating adoption of green construction practices, a growing focus on disaster resilience in urban planning, rising construction activity in rural and underserved areas, and the expanding global population. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in autonomous driving technologies, the integration of telematics and real-time fleet monitoring systems, the adoption of hybrid and electric drivetrains, the development of modular and customizable vehicle platforms, and the enhancement of vehicle durability through the use of advanced materials.
The expansion of renewable energy projects is expected to drive the growth of the construction trucks market, driven by increasing infrastructure development needs. Renewable energy projects involve generating power from sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy practices. These projects are rapidly expanding as governments worldwide implement supportive policies and financial incentives to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels and achieve climate targets. Construction trucks play a critical role in these projects by transporting materials, equipment, and components required to build clean energy facilities such as wind and solar farms. For example, in December 2024, the Solar Energy Industries Association, a US-based national trade association, reported that the US solar market added 8.6 GWdc of capacity in the third quarter of 2024-a 21% increase from the same period in 2023. Solar energy accounted for 64% of all new electricity-generating capacity and generated enough power annually for over 37 million homes. Consequently, the growth of renewable energy projects is contributing to the expansion of the construction truck market.
Key companies in the construction trucks market are introducing innovative solutions such as next-generation heavy-duty construction trucks to meet the rising demand for infrastructure development by providing efficient and powerful transport options for construction and mining operations. These trucks are engineered to move heavy materials and equipment across work sites, designed to endure harsh environments and challenging terrain. For instance, in July 2025, BharatBenz, an India-based heavy vehicle manufacturer, launched a new line of heavy-duty trucks tailored for construction and mining purposes. The lineup includes new models from the HX and Torqshift series, such as the 2828C HX and 3532C HX, featuring configurations of 280 hp with 1,100 Nm torque and 320 hp with 1,250 Nm torque. Developed through rigorous field testing in demanding mining environments, this launch aims to help large contractors upgrade aging fleets in response to the growing demand for construction and mining equipment in India.
In July 2024, Komatsu Limited, a Japan-based manufacturer of construction, mining, forestry, and military heavy equipment, acquired GHH Group GmbH for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Komatsu seeks to broaden and enhance its offerings in underground mining equipment, boost its global production and service capabilities, and expand customer reach into new markets. GHH Group GmbH is a Germany-based producer of mining and tunneling equipment, including articulated dump trucks used in mining and construction sectors.
