North America Electric Overhead Training (EOT) Cranes Market Outlook
Construction industries are expanding globally with the rising number of low-to-medium-priced residential housing projects, commercial infrastructures; and government-backed infrastructure initiatives, including roads, bridges, and highways. The rise in construction activities is mainly driven by rising urbanization, increasing population, and a growing economy. According to the data published by the Word Bank in 2023, ~56% of the total population (or 4.4 billion people) were living in urban areas in 2022, which was 3.5 billion in 2010.
Growing demand for residential and commercial complexes, rising government initiatives, and surging high-rise constructions are attributed to the increasing government focus on infrastructure development. For instance, in March 2023, the Canadian Kelowna City Council approved the funding of US$ 90 million for the Kelowna Airport terminal expansion project. In 2023, six new airports were under construction in the US. In February 2025, the Mexican airport operator GAP announced a US$ 2.53 billion investment over five years as part of a development plan aimed at supporting economic growth and the key tourism sector in the country.
Also, in 2023, the governments of British Columbia and Canada invested US$ 24.3 million in the building of water treatment plant. In 2024, the Government of Mexico, through the National Water Commission (Conagua), started taking measures to address the clean water crisis. It will invest approximately US$ 5.5 billion in fifteen priority water projects.
In the past few years, the demand for modern constructions, high-rise buildings, and large-scale projects has increased the importance of electric overhead traveling cranes for safe and efficient construction activities. The graphical representation of the total completed construction of buildings (during 2015-2023) that are 200 meters and above are mentioned below:

The US is the prominent manufacturers of automobiles. The burgeoning demand for automotive vehicles results in frequent investments in the country's automotive sector. For instance, in February 2024, Schaeffler announced the expansion of its operations in the US with the addition of a new manufacturing facility for fabricating automotive electric mobility solutions. The company planned an investment of over US$ 230 million for the establishment of an advanced manufacturing facility in Ohio, US, along with its future expansion until 2032. The assembly plant of the Mazda Toyota joint venture for manufacturing automotive parts in Huntsville; General Motors Company's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly, Flint Truck Assembly, Lansing Delta Township Assembly, and Orion Assembly; and Ford Motor Company's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Dearborn Truck, and Michigan Assembly Plant are a few of the major automotive manufacturing plants in the US.
Thus, strategic government initiatives, rapid industrialization, and infrastructure development are driving the electric overhead traveling cranes market.
