The rise in construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the building and road construction equipment market in the coming years. Construction involves assembling various components to create structures at specific sites according to detailed designs and plans. Building and road construction equipment support construction projects by ensuring timely completion, improving work quality, reducing costs, enabling multiple tasks, enhancing safety, and fostering technological advancements. For example, in July 2024, the US Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported that the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Therefore, the growth in construction activities is propelling the building and road construction equipment market.
Key companies in the building and road construction equipment market are developing advanced solutions, such as construction excavators and forklifts, to improve productivity and efficiency on job sites. Construction excavators and forklifts are heavy machinery used for earthmoving, material handling, and lifting tasks, with excavators primarily handling digging and demolition, while forklifts manage material transport and stacking. For instance, in October 2023, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, a South Korea-based provider of high-quality machinery, launched a new lineup of products-including excavators, wheel loaders, and electric forklifts-at their factory in Chakan, Pune. The excavator range includes the SMART Plus Series with three models (8-ton, 14-ton, and 15-ton) for infrastructure applications and the 50-ton HX520L for heavy-duty mining. Additionally, two wheel loader models (3 tons and 5 tons) and electric forklifts (2.5 tons and 3.0 tons) were introduced to enhance material handling efficiency.
