The construction equipment industry is booming in India. Construction equipment is heavy machinery that performs specific construction and demolition activities.
The construction equipment sector is made up of various segments such as earthmoving equipment, road construction equipment, civil engineering equipment, concrete equipment, crushing and screening equipment, earthmoving equipment, heavy construction vehicles, material handling equipment and road building equipment. This construction equipment is transferable, permanent and semi- permanent.
India Construction Equipment Market Growth Factors
Indian Construction Equipment industry is rapidly expanding because the government is heavily investing in various construction projects. The Indian government is focusing on infrastructure development to enhance its infrastructure to reach its 2025 economic growth target of USD 5 trillion.
India's population growth and economic development require improved transport infrastructure, including investments in roads, railways, aviation, shipping and inland waterways. For instance, the Government of India under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) projects investing USD 1.3 trillion in brownfield and greenfield infrastructure projects of above Rs 100 crore across both economic and social infrastructures.
Growing demand for construction equipment is a reflection of broader macroeconomic trends such as interest rates, infrastructure investment and liquidity, which themselves indicate the health of the overall economy.
This demand for equipment is expected to grow in line with the expansion of real estate development from India's key urban centres into tier-2 and tier-3 cities, which in turn expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, various emerging technologies Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Generative AI, and other advanced technologies are optimising the design process, generating highly efficient and innovative designs, improving efficiency and reducing cost. These advanced technologies play a pivotal role in facilitating gradual expansion and improving efficiency in the sector.
Key players operating in the construction equipment industry provide the cutting-edge machinery and equipment needed to support the industry’s transformation, ensuring that construction projects across the nation are not only innovative but also executed with enhanced efficiency, and precision with a focus on sustainability. Thus, adoption of such advanced technologies is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
India Construction Equipment Market: Restraints
Various factors such as Volatility in real estate and related industries, such as construction equipment, have resulted in demand-supply gaps that hamper analysis of the sector and its trends. The growing use of construction equipment resulted in environmental concerns and restraining the market growth.
Heavy construction equipment is the major source of ozone emissions, thus resulting in the deterioration of air quality. These equipment emits various gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and carbon monoxide, these gases adversely affect the environment causing environmental imbalance across rural and urban areas, which in turn reduces the utilization of these equipment thereby reduces market growth.
India Construction Equipment Market: Opportunities
Supportive government policies such as the Make in India Initiative, Production Linked Incentive Scheme, National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), and PM Gati Shakti Scheme are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the construction equipment market.
For instance, the Government of India recently launched the National Master Plan ‘Gati Shakti’. This scheme of over INR 100 lakh crores is focused on holistic and integrated infrastructure development. Such increased investment in infrastructure would create demand for construction equipment.
In November 2022, the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) was set up as a collaborative investment platform between the Government of India, global investors, multilateral development banks (MDB) and domestic financial institutions to facilitate and promote investment across multiple sectors in India through an India Japan Fund. Thus, these factors are expected to create lucrative opportunities for many global players to enter in Indian Market.
The increasing influx of foreign direct investment in the construction sector is encouraging the entry of many new players in the market, either in the form of joint ventures with Indian companies or by foreign firms setting up their local manufacturing facilities.
Key players operating across most market segments are JCB, Escorts, ACE and BEML are launching innovative construction equipment in the market, thereby creating lucrative opportunities for India’s construction equipment market.
India Construction Equipment Market: Segmentation Analysis
India's Construction Equipment market is segmented by equipment type, product type, propulsion type, end user and region. By Equipment type, the market is segmented into heavy construction equipment type and compact construction equipment type.
Among these equipment types, heavy construction equipment held the highest market share in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period owing to growing investment in the construction sector across India.
Heavy construction equipment is used for excavation, heavy lifting, tunnelling, and material handling. Renting and leasing heavy construction equipment is an advantageous and profitable business in India. Thus, such factors are expected to propel the market growth of this segment during the forecast period.
However, compact construction equipment is expected to grow at fasted CAGR during the forecast period. Compact construction equipment is small in size and has less capacity, enabling it to be suitable for small jobs and jobs in constrained spaces. This equipment is used for various applications such as excavation, heavy lifting, tunnelling, and material handling.
By product type, the market is segmented into civil engineering equipment, concrete equipment, crushing and screening equipment, earthmoving equipment, heavy construction vehicles, material handling equipment, road building equipment and other equipment.
Among all of these, Earthmoving Equipment held the highest market share of 64.56% in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period. An increase in demand is due to the increase in infrastructure projects across India and the use of traditional heavy-duty excavators by construction companies to build dams and highways.
By Propulsion type, ICE propulsion held the highest market share of 82.30% in 2023 and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period. ICE propulsion offers a game-changing high thrust propulsion system ideal for construction equipment of all sizes.
ICE produces power with a combustion engine, which is then transmitted to the wheels via a transmission system. The electric propulsion system is expected to grow at a significant growth rate during the forecast period owing to growing demand for environmentally friendly propulsion systems.
