Dozer Global Market Report 2024

The dozer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2023 to $1.45 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to environmental awareness and regulations, government incentives and subsidies, consumer demand for fuel efficiency, global efforts to combat climate change, and infrastructure development for electric vehicles.

The dozer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.02 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the evolving automotive regulatory landscape, the expansion of charging infrastructure, rising energy efficiency standards, cost reductions in battery manufacturing, global market competition, and innovation, as well as increasing consumer perception and awareness. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors, the integration of regenerative braking systems, a shift towards multi-motor configurations, the development of direct drive systems, the integration of predictive maintenance technologies, and a focus on scalability and modularity in drivetrain design within the electric vehicle sector.

The anticipated surge in construction activities is set to drive the growth of the dozer market in the coming years. Construction activities encompass a range of tasks involved in creating, modifying, or maintaining structures, buildings, infrastructure, and other physical facilities. The versatility, efficiency, and capability to handle heavy-duty tasks make dozers essential in various construction activities. For example, a report by Oxford Economics in September 2021 revealed that global construction production reached $10.7 trillion in 2020. Between 2020 and 2030, it is expected to increase by 42%, or $4.5 trillion, reaching USD 15.2 trillion. Thus, the escalating construction activities are a key factor propelling the growth of the dozer market.

The increasing government investments in the infrastructure sector are also anticipated to boost the growth of the dozer market. Government investments in infrastructure involve allocating funds for the development, maintenance, and enhancement of essential public facilities such as transportation, utilities, and communication networks. Such investments create opportunities for construction and development projects, leading to an augmented use of dozers in activities such as road building and land grading. As per data from the Office for National Statistics in May 2023, the total general government investment in infrastructure increased by 15.2% from 2020 to $30.23 billion (£23.8 billion) in 2021. Hence, the rising government investments in the infrastructure sector are fueling the growth of the dozer market.

The high initial costs associated with dozers pose a challenge and may hinder the future growth of the dozer market. Dozers represent substantial capital investments, especially for businesses in construction, mining, and earthmoving industries. The significant upfront cost of acquiring dozer equipment can strain the financial resources of smaller companies and contractors, potentially limiting their ability to expand or invest in additional equipment. For instance, in April 2024, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. reported that the price of a new Hitachi excavator can range from $100,000 to well over $300,000. The high initial costs for dozers present a constraint on the growth of the dozer market.

Major companies in the dozer market are strategically focusing on developing innovative unmanned bulldozer variants to cater to the evolving needs of their customers. Unmanned bulldozers, also known as autonomous bulldozers, operate without the need for a human operator on board, utilizing advanced technology for various tasks. For instance, in September 2022, Shantui Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. in China launched the world’s first unmanned bulldozer. This autonomous machine operates through a robust processing system, precise positioning technology, and a 5G connection, offering potential benefits such as labor cost savings and improved safety on construction sites.

In August 2021, Hyundai Construction Equipment Co. Ltd. in South Korea acquired Doosan Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Hyundai's acquisition aims to expand its market share in Korea and the global construction sector, driven by financial considerations, market competition, and market presence. Doosan Corporation, based in South Korea, is engaged in the manufacturing of dozers.

A dozer is a large and powerful tractor equipped with a broad horizontal blade at the front, which is used for various earthmoving tasks such as moving earth and debris, clearing, leveling, and grading land in construction and infrastructure development projects. Dozers play a crucial role in shaping terrain and efficiently handling substantial amounts of material.

The main product types of dozers include crawler bulldozers, wheeled bulldozers, and mini dozers. Wheeled bulldozers, also known as wheel dozers, differ from traditional crawler bulldozers in terms of mobility. The operating weight categories for these dozers include under 20,000 lb, 20,000-60,000 lb, 60,000-150,000 lb, and over 150,000 lb. They find applications across various industries, including construction, mining, forestry, agriculture, and others.
