Analyst view: “The earthmoving equipment market is expected to witness an increase in adoption of low-emission electric vehicles owing to stringent emission regulations established by several government authorities across the globe.”
 

High maintenance and repair costs associated with earthmoving equipment will challenge the industry growth. These machines are deployed in harsh working environments for long hours, causing frequent wear and tear. Frequent oil changes and replacement of critical parts contribute to the high cost of maintaining the earthmoving equipment. Increasing fuel prices coupled with low fuel efficiency also add to the operating costs, further impacting the industry in 2020. However, market players are launching zero-emission, electric models of earthmoving equipment to support the industry outlook.
 

Rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in several countries is adversely impacting the market growth trends. Factors, such as economic downfall, rising prices of steel, and shortage of labor, are restricting the earthmoving equipment market revenue. The production capability of equipment manufacturers is hampered due to disruptions in global supply chains. Restrictions on international trade have also caused a decline in the shipments. The market is forecast to grow at a steady rate with the reduction of the pandemic impact.
