Based on product, the market is divided into articulated, and rigid. In 2023, the articulated segment accounted for a market revenue of USD 7.5 billion. Articulated dump trucks are witnessing a trend towards increased payload capacities and improved maneuverability. Manufacturers are focusing on enhancing the design and engineering of articulated dump trucks to handle larger loads while maintaining agility, enabling them to operate effectively in diverse and challenging terrain conditions.
For instance, in June 2022, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas expanded into the articulated dump truck sector, unveiling the HA30 and HA45 models. These trucks are tailored for the 30- and 45-ton categories, featuring payloads of 28 and 41 tons, respectively. Designed for rigorous tasks like earthmoving projects, highway construction, and mining operations, they offer superior drive and traction in various site conditions.
Based on propulsion, the construction dump trucks market is categorized into diesel, electric, hybrid. In 2023, the diesel segment is expected to generate a market share of over 79%. Diesel fuel's widespread availability is a major factor supporting its dominance in construction dump trucks. In addition, diesel refueling infrastructure is extensively developed, with numerous refueling stations, fueling depots, and maintenance facilities across regions, ensuring easy access and consistent supply. This well-established network minimizes downtime and operational disruptions, crucial for construction projects that rely on continuous vehicle operation.
Further, the logistics of fuel distribution and storage for diesel are well-integrated into the industry, further cementing its role. In April 2024, Weichai Power introduced a groundbreaking diesel engine with a thermal efficiency of over 53%. This engine, used in heavy-duty vehicles such as construction dump trucks, promises significant reductions in fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Asia Pacific dominated the global construction dump trucks market with a major share of over 42% in 2023. Large investments in infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, and industrial facilities have positioned the region as one of the world's greatest construction markets. Construction trucks are in high demand, due to the enormous growth scope of growth and its requirements for moving equipment and supplies between different locations.
Further, the growing need for a wide variety of construction trucks due to the enormous amount of construction operations fueled by rapid urbanization and economic growth is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.
In Europe, the economic performance of the continent results in significant investments in infrastructure projects, including urban development, bridges, and roads. The need for construction trucks in a wide range of difficult jobs has increased due to this expansion. Furthermore, the presence of a strong industrial base in Europe, including engineering and construction companies requires state-of-the-art machinery to support ongoing projects, thus propelling market growth.
In North America, the construction dump trucks market is experiencing a trend towards fleet modernization and technology integration. Construction companies are focused on investments in newer, more efficient truck models to improve productivity and meet stringent emissions standards. Moreover, the increasing adoption of telematics systems for better fleet management and optimization is expected to drive market growth in the upcoming years.
