New, Pre-Owned, And Rental Construction Equipment Market Research, 2032
The Global New, Pre-Owned, and Rental Construction Equipment Market size was valued at $445.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $871.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2032.New, pre-owned, and rental construction equipment is the service to rent out construction equipment to end users for a certain period by signing contracts with terms and conditions about their usage. Construction equipment is majorly used at construction mining sites to facilitate heavy operations. Customers can also opt for used or new equipment as per budget constraints.
Market Dynamics
In developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, malls and office buildings are currently undergoing construction. For instance, Brazil experienced the construction of more than 13 shopping mall in 2021. These shopping centers are multistory and built on several acres of land, which increases the need for large construction tools. Furthermore, the construction of brand-new, opulent office buildings in several nations and significant cities is a result of the rising industrialization of developing nations. For instance, in 2021, over 17 significant IT parks are currently being constructed in India's major cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.
In addition, construction equipment tends to become damaged or undergo destruction regularly given the demanding tasks performed at construction sites. Construction equipment, like any other vehicle, needs to be timely maintained by going through routine servicing and maintenance to keep it operating properly. In addition, there are labor costs and operational costs, which cover things such as the cost of hiring skilled, experienced drivers and fuel costs for running the equipment.
However, equipment rental businesses employ and train their own staff of equipment operators. Furthermore, some businesses offer to pay the cost of the diesel, which is deducted from the customer's payment. These factors make it easy for customers to hire heavy and expensive equipment with well-trained operators only when needed. This helps to minimize the expense in the form of wages of operators as well as expenses incurred due to their maintenance. Hence such an advantage of construction rental equipment propels the growth of the market.
Moreover, several housing developments are also being built throughout Africa. For instance, in February 2022, six new mega social housing projects were planned for South Africa in the coming few years. In addition, in 2021, Africa's largest 3D-printed affordable housing project started in Kenya. To operate, such infrastructure projects require heavy construction machinery. This equipment is rented and used at these sites, which drives the growth of the global new, pre-owned, and rental construction equipment market.
However, in developed countries in North America and Europe, there is a saturation of new construction activity due to the already constructed infrastructure, the recent industrial slump, and the high cost of development. As a result, substantial investments in brand-new building projects have declined, which is anticipated to eventually constrain the expansion of the market for renting construction equipment in developed countries.
Moreover, at new construction sites, large cranes are inexpensive to rent instead of buying, simple to disassemble, and easy to move. In addition, rental firms can now easily follow the locations and operations of their equipment thanks to modern technology like IoT embedded in construction equipment. IoT assists in addressing a lack of experienced labor, increasing task accuracy, guaranteeing on-time delivery within budget, and addressing equipment safety concerns. Thus, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, the introduction of new internet-connected equipment will promote new, pre-owned, and rental construction equipment market growth.
