Based on equipment type, the market is divided into mini excavators, compact wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, and others. In 2023, the skid steer loaders segment is growing at high rate, as the demand for skid steer loaders equipped with higher breakout force capabilities is augmenting segment growth. Higher breakout force enables these machines to tackle more challenging tasks, such as excavation & material handling, with greater efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, the driver's station has been redesigned, incorporating an enhanced iteration of Manitou's patented folding door mechanism.
 

The construction segment accounted for over 43% market share in 2023. The increasing adoption of decarbonization practices in construction is driving growth in the compact construction equipment market segment. With a focus on reducing emissions and promoting sustainability, construction firms are increasingly seeking compact equipment powered by electric or low-carbon technologies. For instance, in November 2023, Volvo Construction Equipment collaborated with CRH, a provider of building materials solutions, to accelerate decarbonization efforts in construction. This strategic alliance prioritizes electrification, the development of charging infrastructure, the utilization of low-carbon fuels, and the integration of renewable energy. These initiatives collectively hold significant potential for reducing emissions across the construction sector.
 

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the global compact construction equipment market with a major share of over 45% in 2023, owing to the rapid urbanization in the region, particularly in China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries. As cities expand and populations grow, there is a pressing need for infrastructure development to accommodate urban living. This includes the construction of roads, bridges, residential complexes, and commercial buildings. Compact construction equipment are well-suited for these projects due to their versatility, maneuverability, and ability to operate efficiently in confined urban spaces, boosting product demand in the region.
