Asia Pacific Construction Equipment Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Equipment Type and Application

The construction equipment market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$45,566.78 million in 2022 to US$85,836.45 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2022 to 2028.

Electrification is shaping the construction equipment industry, which presents substantial opportunities and design options. Electrification has risen in most market categories, including construction equipment for automobiles, buses, and other vehicles.

The maturation and affordability of modern technologies and the tightening of pollution restrictions offer feasibility to electrification, which has altered the future of the construction equipment business. Several cities across the region have issued prohibitions on the use of diesel within city borders, affecting construction equipment operations in certain areas. Strong pollution standards for heavy machinery and equipment use are being imposed in China. With the usage of electric construction equipment, these rules related to emission and noise pollution criteria can be easily fulfilled. The TA15 is the culmination of years of work on prior concept models. The machine is now a part of the TARA autonomous transportation solution consisting of several components, such as base vehicles (multiple TA15s), and required infrastructures, such as a charging station and control tower connected to cloud solutions tailored to customer operation requirements, maintenance, and repair support, and the set-up of the practical operation, which varies from site to site. The TA15 is designed to deliver material in repeating flows in off-road locations, such as quarries. The number of machines and charging stations required will largely be determined by the desired production/transport volumes and the haul cycle. The continuous advancements in electric variants of existing/new products provide lucrative opportunities for the construction equipment market growth during the forecasted period.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific construction equipment market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
