Construction Equipment Rental Market (By Application: Excavation & Mining, Material Handling, Earthmoving, and Concrete; By Product; By Propulsion System: Electric & ICE) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Regional Outlook and Forecast 2021 - 2030

The global construction equipment rental market size is predicted to hit around USD 140 billion by 2030 from USD 95.29 billion in 2020, growing a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2030. 

The construction equipment rental is the service to rent out construction equipment to end users for a certain period of time by signing contracts with terms and condition about their usage. Construction equipment are majorly used at construction mining sites to facilitate heavy operations.

Construction equipment rental market growth is driven by increase in construction & mining activities in developing nations of Latin America and Africa regions. In addition, additional expenses incurred due to maintenance of the equipment, excessive operational cost, and high wages of skilled operators can be saved by renting equipment for the required time, which significantly contributes toward the growth of the global market. Moreover, high initial investment required to buy equipment and financial constraints can be avoided by opting for the rental equipment, thereby augmenting the market growth.

However, dearth of skilled labors is a major factor restraining the growth of the global market. Moreover, saturation in construction and mining industry in developed nations is another factor that hampers the growth of the market. Furthermore, lockdown implemented due to the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to either decline in construction activities or have come to a complete halt. This led to cancellation of equipment contracts by end users with rental companies, thereby declining the business during the lockdown period. However, reopening of construction sites and introduction of vaccines for COVID-19 are anticipated to lead to re-initiation of construction equipment rental market companies and construction industry at their full-scale capacities.

On the contrary, manufacturers are developing advanced equipment, which can be operated by connecting them through internet. Moreover, integration of IoT will help to overcome the shortage of skilled labors and enhanced safety of operators and end users. These factors are anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.

Application Insights

The earthmoving machinery segment dominated the market for construction equipment rental in 2019. However, the concrete and road construction machinery segment is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2030.

Earthmoving machinery such as excavators enjoy enormous demand around the world as it has a wide application scope in construction, mining, and agriculture sectors. Other equipments in this category are skid-steer loaders, backhoe loaders, crawler excavators, and mini excavators, which also present attractive market potential. These have high load capacity and engine power, which enable them to work efficiently in harsh conditions.

The material handling machinery segment comprises crawler cranes, trailer-mounted cranes, and truck-mounted cranes. Growing construction of skyscrapers and mega infrastructure projects are anticipated to boost demand for these types of machinery on a rental basis. Truck-mounted cranes hold the majority of shares in the market for construction equipment rental owing to easy mobility. They are used for the construction of buildings, bridges, and dams. On the other hand, traditional crawler cranes are witnessing a steep fall in demand since the last decade. Crawler cranes are difficult to be carried on long distances and they need to be loaded on to other vehicles for transportation. These cranes also have lower material handling capacity.

Demand for concrete and road construction machinery on a rental basis is anticipated to grow over the forecast period. Roads are considered as an indicator of a country’s overall development as better road connectivity aids in improved trade and economic growth. Thus, many developing countries such as China and India are focusing on developing better road connectivity. For instance, China’s ambitious “One Belt, One Road” initiative will connect China with European countries. Similarly, the government of India’s “Bharatmala” project focuses on connecting all prominent cities in the country with a single road.

The cranes sub-segment in the product segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The cranes segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the increasing use of various types of cranes by contractors for building and construction purposes. Additionally, 60–65% of the crane fleet is currently owned by equipment rental companies. This is indicative of the explosive growth this segment is poised to witness during the forecast period.

Depending on propulsion system, the ICE segment generated the highest revenue in 2020.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2030 and is likely to continue the dominance in terms of both usage and manufacturing over the forecast period. This region has witnessed growth in the number of highway constructions, metro construction, airports, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), hydroelectric projects, dams in order to sustain better connectivity, high-level industrial activities, and growing energy demand. China is a worldwide leader in construction machinery manufacturing, owing to availability of advanced manufacturing facilities, cheaper labor costs, and high production capacity. China manufacturers export their machinery to many countries in Europe and Asia.

North America accounted for the largest revenue share of over 49% in 2020 and is characterized by the presence of prominent rental players operating in the U.S. as well as Canada. Furthermore, the robust growth in the residential construction sector, coupled with an increase in infrastructural segment owing to the rising investment in Central and Eastern Europe. This, in turn, is projected to contribute towards the growth of the market for construction equipment rental. Countries in the Middle East region such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have an augmented demand for rental equipment such as loaders and excavators owing to surge in major projects such as FIFA World Cup 2022, Jazan Economic City, King Abdullah Economic City, Vision 2030, and Jeddah Metro.
