The electric construction equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The dimension of the electric construction equipment market has experienced a significant upsurge lately. The projections suggest an increase from $11.26 billion in 2024 to $13.85 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.0%.
Factors attributing to this growth during the historic period include initiatives towards environmental sustainability, operational efficiency and cost savings, strict emissions standards, enhanced work environment through noise reduction, along with government incentives and backing.
The electric construction equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of electric construction equipment is anticipated to undergo exponential growth in the coming years, reaching $30.06 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.4%.
The growth during this forecasted period could be credited to infrastructure enlargement, urbanization, technological progress in batteries, rising digitization in the construction industry, global push towards eco-friendly practices, and improved awareness and education. The predominant trends expected during this phase entail integration into sophisticated manufacturing procedures, a concentration on cost-effective and efficient bonding, a focus on health and safety aspects, and a transition towards bio-based and renewable materials.
The anticipated surge in worldwide construction activities is likely to fuel the expansion of the electric construction equipment market. The construction sector is an industry that involves the creation, upkeep, and restoration of infrastructure. Rising activity in the construction industry naturally hikes up the demand for electric construction equipment, which play an integral role in several tasks and processes performed at a construction site, such as reconstruction, assembly, and precise measurement taking (rangefinder functionality) during the installation of plumbing systems, among others. For instance, from data provided by the Office for National Statistics, the executive branch of the UK Statistics Authority, November 2023 saw a rise in total new work by $19781.69 million in 2022, marked by growth in both the private and public sectors, experiencing an increase of 16.8% and 13.1% respectively, compared to 2021. Consequently, the expansion of construction industries on a global scale is propelling the growth of the electric construction equipment market.
