Based on product, the mini/compact segment held over 40% market share in 2022, due to its cost-effectiveness and easy maneuverability. Compact wheel excavators, known for their versatility in confined spaces, offer operational efficiency with reduced fuel consumption. For instance, in July 2023, Case unveiled an inaugural mini excavator in its latest D Series lineup. The CX42D is a zero-tail swing model weighing 4.2 tons and powered by diesel. Positioned alongside the current C Series mini excavators, the CX42D will extend Case's market presence across essential weight categories with significant demand.
Based on application, the construction segment captured around 40% market share in 2022 and is projected to grow by 2032. The maneuverability of wheel excavators in tight urban spaces is a key factor propelling segment growth. Construction projects in densely populated urban areas often require machinery capable of navigating confined spaces without compromising efficiency. Wheel excavators with their compact design and agile handling excel in such environments, making them a preferred choice for construction companies engaged in urban development projects, and where space constraints are a critical consideration.
Asia Pacific led the global wheel excavator market with a major share of over 35% in 2022. The market is driven by the region's growing urbanization. As urban areas expand and construction activities surge, there is an increasing demand for efficient & versatile equipment such as wheel excavators. These machines, known for their maneuverability in confined spaces, become crucial in densely populated urban environments. The construction of infrastructure, residential, and commercial projects in response to urbanization drives the need for wheel excavators, contributing significantly to their market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
