Loader Market Report 2026

The loader market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $36.22 billion in 2025 to $37.82 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development, mining sector expansion, growth in urban construction, mechanization of material handling, availability of diesel-powered loaders.

The loader market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electrification of construction equipment, smart loader integration, growth in large-scale infrastructure projects, demand for fuel-efficient machines, adoption of automation in construction. Major trends in the forecast period include growth of compact and multi-function loaders, rising demand for high-payload machines, expansion of rental equipment usage, adoption of telematics in loaders, demand from infrastructure projects.

The rising adoption of green building practices is expected to drive the growth of the loader market during the forecast period. Green building focuses on designing, constructing, and operating structures to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency throughout their lifecycle. Such construction projects require loaders to lift and transport materials efficiently, supporting faster and more sustainable construction. For instance, in November 2024, according to Green Building Law, a US-based web blog affiliated with a law firm, there were over 195,000 LEED-certified buildings across more than 186 countries, covering a total of 29 billion square feet of certified space. Therefore, the growing emphasis on green building is expected to bolster loader market growth in the coming years.

Major companies in the loader market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as track loaders, to expand their customer base, increase sales, and boost revenue. Track loaders are heavy construction machines featuring a tracked undercarriage similar to a crawler tractor, with a front-mounted bucket or attachment. For example, in March 2023, New Holland Construction, an Italy-based machinery manufacturer, launched the C330 vertical lift compact track loader. The C330 features a 68-inch working width, a 67-horsepower engine, and New Holland’s Super Boom lift with low shoulder positioning and compact towers, improving operator visibility and on-site safety. Its high load-carrying capacity allows efficient handling of rocks, timber, and other materials, while electro-hydraulic controls provide excellent maneuverability in confined residential spaces such as backyard gates or narrow spaces between buildings.

In June 2023, Chadwick BaRoss Ontario Ltd. (CBRO), a Canada-based company in the heavy equipment industry, acquired Amaco Construction Equipment Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows CBRO to expand its product offerings and enhance its market presence in the construction equipment sector. Amaco Construction Equipment Inc. is also based in Canada and specializes in manufacturing heavy construction equipment, including loaders and excavators.
