Loader Global Market Report 2024

The global loader market has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $23.33 billion in 2023 to $24.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the growth of the construction industry, expansion within the mining sector, the increasing demand for waste management solutions, operations at ports and docks, emphasis on efficiency and productivity enhancements, and the rising utilization in forestry operations.

The global loader market is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be linked to the surge in renewable energy projects, heightened emphasis on sustainability, ongoing global urban development, an increase in demolition activities, a focus on ensuring operator comfort and safety, and the implementation of human factors engineering principles. Major trends expected in this period encompass the adoption of compact loaders, technological advancements in loader design, the integration of electric and hybrid loaders, incorporation of telematics and IoT, the emergence of autonomous and semi-autonomous loaders, and the development of remote operation and control systems.

The ascent of green building practices is poised to fuel the growth of the loader market in the upcoming period. Green building emphasizes reduced resource consumption - energy, water, and other environmental impacts - enhancing life quality and safeguarding natural resources. Loader machinery is integral in expediting construction for green buildings. A report from a USA-based construction technology platform revealed that globally, 40% of energy is consumed, with an anticipated 1.8% increase in emissions from commercial buildings by 2030. The USA housed 124,200 LEED-certified buildings, known for low carbon emissions and energy conservation. Hence, the escalating trend of green building practices is projected to fortify the loader market.

The expanding e-commerce sphere is set to drive the loaders market growth in the foreseeable future. E-commerce entails online buying and selling and demands efficient logistics and warehousing operations, where loaders play a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency and meeting the dynamic needs of online retail. An analysis by a US-based agency forecasts a surge in e-commerce consumer goods sales, expected to constitute 22% of global retail sales by 2024. This trend points to an 8% annual growth in global retail e-commerce sales. Consequently, the burgeoning e-commerce industry serves as a catalyst for the loaders market.

Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend shaping the loader market landscape. Key industry players are focusing efforts on creating innovative products that minimize carbon emissions and fuel usage. For instance, in November 2021, a US-based company, Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation, introduced the GEL-1800 electric loader, employing a 141 KWh lithium battery to cut operational emissions and noise significantly. The GEL-1800 demonstrates reduced maintenance costs and zero operational emissions, aligning with contemporary environmental concerns.

Leading companies in the loaders market are dedicated to developing cutting-edge products like track loaders to expand customer reach, bolster sales, and drive revenue.
