Construction Equipment Aftermarket (By Equipment Type: Earthmoving and Road building Equipment, Material Handling and Cranes, Concrete Equipment; By Application: Infrastructure, Residential, Commercial; By Sales Channel: Online and Offline) – Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast 2021 - 2028

The global Construction Equipment Aftermarket accounted for US$ 20.9 Bn in 2020 with a considerable CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.

Construction equipment aftermarket is growing at a significant rate owing to the rising construction activities across the globe. Rapid urbanization and industrialization that have led to increased demand for construction activities drive the global construction equipment aftermarket. Rising construction activities lead to continuous usage of light-heavy construction equipment, which at some point works out of order. Thus, aftermarket companies replace defective/non-performing equipment with new ones, which considerably saves the cost of replacement and equipment.

Market Drivers

Growing construction activities across the world drives the growth of market

The future of the construction industry looks good with high opportunities in industrial, residential, as well as non-residential sectors. This is attributed to the increasing housing construction and rising infrastructure due to the growing population. The scale of global construction is constantly expanding. The key potential region where construction activities are carried out hugely is Asia-Pacific. China and India dominated the construction equipment aftermarket in the APAC region, with China expected to become the largest construction industry in the coming future. However, developed regions such as North America and Europe are also likely to gain significant impetus owing to the factors such as the rising trend of affordable housing and increasing demand from green construction to reduce carbon footprints. Therefore, these trends of construction activities across the world are contributing towards the global construction equipment aftermarket.

Growing awareness for construction equipment due to its performance and efficiency

Construction equipment saves time, labor costing, and works efficiently throughout the day. Construction equipment performs timely, which helps for the completion of projects. This equipment increases productivity and offers higher profitability with the avoidance of delay penalties. Advancement and innovation in the construction equipment industry have led equipment to perform multiple tasks to save time. In addition, they can perform tasks that are too heavy or too delicate for human muscles. Construction equipment can maintain a planned rate of production where there is a shortage of skilled or non-skilled labors.
