As per the report published by FMI, the global crawler excavator market is projected to have a slow-paced CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast
period. The current valuation of the market is US$ 49.08 Billion in
2022. The market value of crawler excavators is anticipated to reach a
high of US$ 64.07 Billion by the year 2032.
Crawler excavators are gaining rapid traction due to their increasing application in the
construction and mining industry. The surge in mining activities is a
major aspect expected to drive the growth of the crawler excavator
market during the period 2022-2032. Besides, the features of crawler
excavators are suitable for muddy conditions, and they have the capacity
to carry huge weight, potentially fueling the market share of these
vehicles.
It is anticipated by the expert analysts at FMI that increasing demand for crawler excavators is attributed to investments by
developed countries, favorable government policies and FDIs, shifting
focus toward domestic manufacturing and upcoming industrial developments
in the mining and construction industries are major drivers in the
market.
However, FMI has analyzed that due to the increased procurement and maintenance cost of excavators, rentals are preferred by
the contractors; thus, the rental market in the future will rise
eventually in the global forum.
