The mini/compact product segment dominated with above 80% of the excavator market share in 2021 and is projected to witness sustainable growth through 2030. Mini excavators are used in compact spaces such as agriculture, forestry, and small-scale construction activities. The equipment is designed to provide superior operational capabilities and is a convenient tool to accelerate construction operations. Owing to the integration of advanced hydraulic systems and electrification, mini excavators are supposed to see new technological features and offer reduced emissions.
 

Rising investment in smart city projects to drive the product demand

The excavators demand from the construction sector is poised to reach around USD 29 billion by 2030. There is an increasing number of smart infrastructure projects initiated in the developing nations, backed by substantial government funding. Strong investments made by consumers in the real estate sector and rising disposable income will foster the need for superior hydraulic excavators in construction.
 

For instance, in September 2022, the U.S. Trade & Development Agency offered a technical assistance grant to the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA) of Thailand. The grant was provided to boost smart city projects and IT infrastructure in the country.
 

Increasing usage of below 3 cubic meters bucket capacity excavators

The below 3m³ excavators segment is likely to attain more than 6.4% gains through 2030. Bucket capacity below 3 cubic meters are typically available in compact or mini excavators. It is a key attachment that is required in the projects involving activities such as digging smaller trenches, clearing snow from roads or a small-scale demolition. Emerging need for modernizing or repair of urban infrastructure like fixing sewer lines, laying power lines and landscaping will spur the use of this excavator bucket.
