The earthmoving equipment segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The market encompasses machinery utilized for carrying, digging, spreading, or moving earth and materials. Key equipment in this sector includes excavators, loaders, dozers, and motor graders. Operating costs are a significant consideration for businesses in this industry, making aftermarket parts essential for maintaining equipment and maximizing return on investment. Software solutions and IoT sensors enhance machine performance and efficiency, while electric motors and remote control capabilities offer environmental benefits and increased safety. Infrastructure projects, driven by both public and private investment, provide opportunities for growth. Rapid urbanization, particularly in developing countries like China and India, is increasing the demand for heavy construction equipment due to the emergence of megacities.

Safety regulations and rental services ensure accessibility to various businesses. Transmission systems, lifting capacity, GPS guidance, and emission standards are crucial performance metrics. Specialized tools, such as

Construction companies rent or lease equipment to minimise costs, providing opportunities for machinery suppliers. Equipment providers' fortunes are strongly tied to the construction sector, with the residential market a primary driver of sales. Funding for large-scale projects like HS2 and London’s Crossrail provided both long- and short-term demand for construction equipment suppliers as commercial construction output has recovered in recent years. Revenue is projected to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.5% over the five years through 2024-25 to £9 billion, including an expected 2% hike in 2024-25. The average industry profit margin is set to fall to 7.9% in 2024-25.

Revenue dropped in 2020-21 as the pandemic put the brakes on on-site construction work, reducing the need for construction machinery. The volume of new residential construction work is falling because of a hike in interest rates, causing more people to delay home purchases. The hike in funding by the government for more housebuilding and the Help to Buy scheme, which ended in March 2023, led to a resurgence in residential construction activity, boosting sales for construction equipment suppliers. Before the end of the programme, residential construction contractors brought forward projects to enjoy funding from the Help to Buy scheme, boosting orders for construction machinery rentals. Construction activity is rising in 2024-25, aided by a jump in housebuilding and elevated investment in commercial construction projects. According to the ONS, construction output expanded by 0.4% in the three months to January 2025.
Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 3% over the five years through 2029-30 to £10.5 billion. Funding for more homebuilding, like the £3 billion fund that aims to build 300,000 homes in England annually until 2025-26, will propel sales for construction machinery. The government is targeting the construction of 1.5 million homes by 2030 to address the shortage of affordable homes, further providing opportunities for equipment providers. Work on large infrastructure projects like HS2 and the Thames Tideway Tunnel will provide a steady revenue stream for equipment providers. Profitability is set to benefit from rising demand and a healthy construction sector despite companies on track to pour funds into more environmentally friendly powered equipment.

The sales of the manufacture of mining, quarrying, and construction machinery fell in the United Kingdom in 2023. The sales value of that segment of the machinery manufacturing and repair industry amounted to 5.48 billion British pounds in 2022, the highest value in the period studied here.

UK Construction Equipment Tire Market focuses on the development of specialized tires designed for construction machinery.

The industry’s performance is tied closely to construction and mining activity. Depressed construction activity in countries like France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Hungary for much of the past five years dents the need for construction equipment. Nevertheless, the need to address housing shortages and build smarter homes across the continent ensures a high volume of work, boosting orders for diggers and excavators. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 0.2% to €60.2 billion over the five years through 2025, including a projected revenue drop of 0.4% in 2025. High interest rates and soaring building costs have drastically reduced new building projects in Europe, directly affecting construction equipment. Government funding and policies to build more homes are elevating the volume of construction work, driving manufacturers' sales. However, revenue is hurt by more companies turning to leasing and renting construction equipment for short- and long-term projects. The drive to reduce reliance on Russian energy is elevating funding for renewable projects. EU-backed infrastructure projects on renewable energy projects to shore up the EU’s energy security are providing opportunities for producers of heavy-duty equipment. More investment in drilling will drive orders for excavators and earthmoving equipment across the bloc. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.9% to €66 billion over the five years through 2030. Construction activity is set to remain sluggish in the short term due to cautious investors because of high interest rates and geopolitical issues, but government funding for several construction projects like renewable energy projects and wind farms across the EU will raise the need for construction machinery. Incentives and funding to address the shortfall in the number of homes in many European countries will spur investment in the residential sector, providing opportunities for construction equipment makers. Construction contractors will demand more low-emission equipment, forcing manufacturers to invest in producing autonomous and electric equipment that reduces operating costs and eliminates emissions.
