MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

The Surge in Used Construction Equipment Financing

In 2021, the Southeast Asian countries governments planned to invest in infrastructure development projects to overcome the negative impact of the pandemic. Infrastructure projects are delayed due to funding challenges that contractors and construction companies face. Overwhelmed by the funding challenge, OEMs such as Komatsu, Caterpillar, SANY, and Hitachi construction machinery provided financial assistance to customers. In 2022, OEMs saw a surge in used equipment financing activities in Southeast Asian countries. Some used construction equipment sellers, such as JLG financing & Bot leasing, provide equipment financing services to used equipment buyers.

Urbanization and Rise in Infrastructure Development Projects Boosting Construction Investment

Among the countries in Southeast Asia, Singapore has the most developed economy and is completely urbanized. Malaysia and Brunei are classified as highly urbanized, while the majority - including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam - are regarded as semi-urbanized. Over the past few years, the population in urban areas in the Philippines has been growing faster compared to rural areas, primarily due to internal migration brought about by economic development in city centers. In 2021, as per the data provided by the Department of Finance Philippines, approximately USD 9.7 billion out of the USD 20 billion worth of infrastructure projects are currently under construction in 2022.

Similar infrastructure & urbanization projects are under progress in other Southeast Asian Countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam & others. For instance, the Indonesian government aims to invest USD 430 billion in infrastructure development projects from 2021 to 2024. The country's infrastructure development projects are mostly in the transport sector. Investment projects are divided into three sectors - road, rail, and port development, accounting for 29%, 22%, and 23%, respectively.

Governments Across Southeast Asian Countries Are Accelerating Renewable Energy Investments

With increasing global environmental concerns, governments across Southeast Asian countries plan to increase the renewable energy generation capacity by 2030 to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.

For instance, the grid-connected installed capacity in Singapore rose to 376.9 MWp in 2020, with a total of 4,067 solar PV installations. This was a sharp increase from 2019 when capacity was 262.4 MWp, and only 3,173 PV systems were installed. In Malaysia, the government is investing USD 12.1 billion in clean energy transition and aims to reduce 60% in carbon emissions by 2035. Demand for used construction equipment is expected to rise due to the Singapore government's ambitious plan to generate 2GW of solar power by 2030. The government has introduced the Solar Nova program and research and development initiatives to increase solar energy output to achieve this goal.
