Earthmoving Market Report 2025

The earthmoving market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $93.51 billion in 2024 to $97.37 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and urbanization, infrastructure development projects, mining industry expansion, agricultural sector demand, government investments in construction.

The earthmoving market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $118 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation and AI integration, electric and hybrid machinery, remote monitoring and telematics, urbanization and infrastructure development, circular economy initiatives, advanced material usage. Major trends in the forecast period include augmented reality in training, autonomous and semi-autonomous machinery, hydraulic system advancements, rise in rental services, data-driven decision making.

The growing urban population, which is creating a higher demand for improved infrastructure, is anticipated to boost the earthmoving market during the forecast period. As urban populations increase, the need for enhanced and advanced infrastructure rises. For example, in December 2023, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, projected that the global urban population reached 56.9% in 2022, with developed regions at 79.7% compared to 52.3% in developing areas. Consequently, the demand for better infrastructure driven by the rising urban population is propelling the growth of the earthmoving market.

The increasing resident population is anticipated to propel the growth of the earthmoving market. The term 'resident population' refers to the number of individuals who permanently inhabit a specific geographical area, whether it be a country, state, or municipality. This resident population plays a crucial role in shaping land development, as it affects land use trends, boosts the demand for urban development sites, and determines the need for housing. For example, in December 2022, the Census Bureau, a U.S. government agency, reported that the resident population of the United States rose by 0.4%, or 1,256,003 individuals, bringing the total to 333,287,557. Consequently, the growing resident population is expected to drive the expansion of the earthmoving market.

Key players in the market are strategically focusing on the introduction of innovative products that have gained popularity in recent years. An example of this trend is evident in the actions of Doosan Corporation, a Korea-based heavy machinery manufacturer. In April 2022, the company unveiled two new mini-excavators such as the DX27Z-7, weighing 2.8 tons, and the DX35Z-7, weighing 3.9 tons. Notably, both models comply with Stage V regulations, aligning with the latest emissions standards set by the European Union. Equipped with the Doosan D17 diesel engine, these excavators ensure compliance with Stage V standards, delivering 18.4 kW (24.7 HP) of power at 2400 and 2200 RPM for the DX27Z-7 and DX35Z-7, respectively.

Leading companies in the earthmoving market are developing innovative products, such as the scan operating symbol function, to enhance operational efficiency, improve user experience, and simplify machine maintenance for operators, especially those managing large fleets or who are less experienced. The scan operating symbol feature assists users in recognizing and interpreting unfamiliar symbols on equipment panels through a scanning app. For example, in March 2024, Liebherr, a Germany-based manufacturing firm, introduced the 'MyAssistant for Earthmoving' app designed for machine operators, offering vital information on operation and maintenance. Key features include access to the complete Liebherr operator's manual, the ability to order spare parts with user authorization, and the 'Scan Operating Symbol' function for identifying unknown controls. This app is available for free on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
