The market is witnessing a growing trend of adopting multifunctional equipment to cater to a wide range of applications on construction and mining sites. Multifunctional earthmoving equipment, such as a backhoe loader, can be deployed in several applications including material handling, excavating, and re-filling. In response to the escalating demand, manufacturers are introducing new models of earthmoving equipment with multiple functionalities. For instance, in March 2020, Caterpillar, Inc. launched a new model of multifunctional backhoe loader, the 420XE for the North American and European markets.
 

High initial investment required for the purchase of new earthmoving equipment is one of the prominent market factors restricting the market growth. High cost of critical components, such as engine, suspension, motors, and other pneumatic parts, required for manufacturing these machines contribute to their high prices. Earthmoving equipment buyers also face high road taxes and insurance costs to comply with government regulations. However, the impact of this challenge is expected to reduce owing to the attractive financing programs offered by market players.
 

The earthmoving equipment market is witnessing a slowdown due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The construction & mining industry is experiencing a major setback owing to several factors such as shortage of capital and labor. Government authorities are shifting their focus from large construction projects to mitigating the pandemic situation. For instance, in March 2020, the UK government announced a delay in the completion of the London Crossrail project till 2021 due to insufficient funds. The growing financial insecurities among large construction companies are also impacting the market size in 2020.
 

Increasing demand for durable and multifunctional excavators

The excavators segment held around 25% market share in 2019 driven by the increasing government and private sector investments in the development of commercial infrastructure globally. Construction of well-connected road infrastructure, bridges, and dams in several countries across the globe is providing new market opportunities.
 

The ability of excavators to operate for long hours in harsh environmental conditions is fueling the market demand. Advanced excavator models also allow users to mount additional tools for enhanced flexibility. Industry players are launching new models of excavators integrated with advanced technologies to cater to their growing earthmoving equipment market demand.
