The global construction machinery market attained a value of USD 294.44 Billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 8.90% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve USD 690.68 Billion by 2035, driven by infrastructure and urbanisation spending, replacement of ageing fleets, rental fleet expansion, and the shift toward electric, hybrid, and digitally connected equipment worldwide.
Demand momentum is visible in manufacturer results. Volvo Construction Equipment reported in July 2026 that organic net sales rose 13% in the three months ended June 2026, with machine sales up 14%, service sales up 9%, and an adjusted operating margin of 14.4%. Infrastructure investment, high machine utilisation, and fleet replacement supported demand in Europe, while data centres and energy projects kept North America resilient. These results show that manufacturers with strong service businesses and healthy margins are well placed to benefit while demand stays firm across both regions.
Policy and pricing shape the outlook as much as volume. Deere and Company said in August 2026 that it expects construction equipment industry sales in the United States and Canada to rise 5% to 10% in 2026, with global roadbuilding up about 10% and compact construction equipment up about 5%. It also recorded tariff recoveries of USD 110 million in the three months ended August 2026. Together these points show that equipment makers must weigh industry growth against trade costs, and that roadbuilding and compact equipment may move at different speeds across the market.
Emerging markets add a different growth profile. The Indian industry body ICEMA reported in May 2026 that construction equipment sales in the year ended March 2026 were 136,995 units, down about 2%, while exports rose about 32%. It attributed the dip to slower infrastructure execution rather than structural weakness, expects demand to recover as project implementation improves, and pointed to a new incentive scheme for equipment makers. Suppliers watching this market need to balance a soft near-term domestic picture against export momentum and the prospect of faster project execution, which is why buyers and manufacturers follow these indicators.
