Excavators Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2023 to 2030

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on May 23rd, 2023

The global excavators market size is expected to reach USD 108.37 billion by 2030, expanding at 5.2% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research Inc. The primary driver of the market's expansion is the sharp rise in the demand for excavators among construction machinery contractors for site preparation tasks including grading and excavation. The increased construction of roads and highways, urban infrastructure, and the mining industry will likely lead to an increase in demand for wheeled excavators throughout the course of the projected period, thus supporting the excavator industry’s growth.

The expansion in investment in the mining and construction industries across numerous nations is what is driving the need for excavators. Increasing demand for "megacities" and "smart cities" in developing countries, as well as the construction industry's rapid growth, are some of the drivers driving the wheeled excavator industry. Moreover, the market for wheeled excavators is predicted to rise as a result of technological breakthroughs like the air-to-water intercooler engine, which produces a higher output. Furthermore, the excavator industry is growing due to features like special riding control, dedicated swing pumps, load-sensing hydraulics, work-toll adaptability, and hydraulically powered cooling fans.

Wheeled excavators are typically utilized in urban settings, and initiatives like smart cities and megacities are increasing demand for them. One of the main factors promoting the segment's growth is government spending on new infrastructure development and upgrading of existing infrastructure. Excavators are used in construction for grading, landscaping, building demolition, digging trenches, holes, and foundations, as well as for material handling and lifting. Their capacity varies depending on size and attachments, doing big operations or lesser ones.

Most excavator manufacturers are developing electric excavators to fulfil the regulatory and customers' changing requirements since strict laws continue to present manufacturers with several challenges and consumers are seeking to lower the environmental impact of the equipment they employ. Recently, Volvo Construction Equipment and Services, Inc. unveiled a totally electric prototype of a small-sized excavator that outperforms traditional excavators in terms of efficiency, noise level, and cost of ownership. Similarly, Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE), which worked with Cummins Inc. to use its most recent innovations, including Li-ion technology in the production of electrically driven micro excavators. It is another manufacturer to introduce a 100% electric excavator prototype.

Due to increased investments in the construction sector, particularly in growing nations like India, China, and South Korea, the Excavator industry has experienced significant growth. Excavators are pieces of hydraulic machinery with an arm-mounted bucket and an undercarriage. Global demand for excavators has increased as a result of an increase in the number of major road, port, mining, oil and gas construction projects. Another significant driving force for the excavator industry is the concept of excavator rentals, which allows manufacturers and operators to use the machinery to its fullest potential without having to make significant capital commitments.

Excavators Market Report Highlights

  • Electric drive excavators emerged as the segment with the largest market growth in 2022 and is estimated to generate revenue of over USD 75,243.3 million by 2023
  • Mini excavators are gaining traction for medium and small projects owing to its compact nature and efficiency
  • By type, the excavator industry reached a valuation of USD 70,650.6 million in 2022. The rising use of excavator types such as wheelers and crawlers in mining and carrying heavy loads is anticipated to fuel the segment's growth

  • Key players including Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Liebherr dominated the market, accounting for a sizeable share in 2022

A number of countries and regions have experienced a rapid spread of the coronavirus, which has had a significant impact on both communal life and industries as a whole. The COVID-19 outbreak halted production and disrupted supply chains. Subsequently an economic down turn affected the demand among both non-commercial and commercial users for excavator. However, as containment measures and vaccine campaigns subdued the effects of the coronavirus, the construction and mining industry saw an uptick. The excavator manufacturers saw an increase in demand which is likely to contribute to the excavator industry's revival.

Excavator equipped with technology are more effective than conventional machinery because they save time and inform service centers in the event of a malfunction or other operational issues. Equipment producers are creating environmentally friendly equipment as a result of strict emission control regulations. The main responsibility of manufacturers is to provide technologically sophisticated, efficient equipment that complies with regulations and meets consumer expectations. In enclosed spaces like forestry, agriculture, and small-scale construction projects, excavators are employed. The instrument is practical for accelerating construction activities and is built to offer greater operational skills, thus elevating the excavator industry growth.

Mini excavators are anticipated to have new technological characteristics and offer lower emissions due to the integration of cutting-edge hydraulic systems and electrification. A growing number of smart infrastructure projects are being launched in underdeveloped countries with significant government backing. Strong consumer real estate investments and increased disposable income will increase the need for hydraulic excavators in the construction industry. For instance, the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA) of Thailand received a technical support grant from the U.S. Trade & Development Agency in September 2022.
