Soil Compaction Equipment Market Report 2026

The soil compaction equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.52 billion in 2025 to $3.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of construction activities, growth in road infrastructure projects, urbanization trends, increased mining operations, demand for soil stabilization.

The soil compaction equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart infrastructure development, growth in transport infrastructure investments, mechanization of construction sites, demand for faster project execution, rising adoption of advanced compaction techniques. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of compact and lightweight equipment, rising demand for high efficiency compaction solutions, growth in rental based equipment usage, increased preference for multi application machines, focus on operator comfort and safety.

The expansion of the construction industry is expected to support the growth of the soil compaction equipment market. The construction industry includes the building, repair, renovation, and maintenance of structures such as homes, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. Soil compaction equipment is essential in these activities, as it compresses soil and other materials to improve density, moisture content, and stability - key factors in constructing embankments, roadways, subgrades, dams, and similar structures. For example, in October 2023, the US Census Bureau, a key organization responsible for economic and population statistics, reported that construction spending reached $1.98 trillion in August 2023, representing a 7.4% increase from the $1.84 trillion recorded in August 2022. Therefore, the expansion of the construction industry is driving demand for soil compaction equipment.

Major companies in the soil compaction equipment market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as compact assist packages, to better serve customers. Compact Assist packages include software, technology, and tools designed to optimize and monitor soil compaction processes in construction and civil engineering. For example, in May 2023, Volvo Construction Equipment, a Sweden-based manufacturer of construction machinery, introduced three Compact Assist packages for soil compactors. The new "Lite" and "Start" packages offer varying levels of access to core features such as Pass Mapping and Compaction Measurement Value (CMV) Mapping, all operated through a 10-inch Volvo Co-Pilot touchscreen. These tailored solutions make it easier for customers to benefit from intelligent compaction by providing only the most relevant information needed to achieve optimal compaction results.

In May 2024, Doosan Bobcat, a South Korea-based construction equipment manufacturer, partnered with HD Hyundai Infracore to expand its soil compaction equipment portfolio. The partnership involves exchanging medium-sized and small construction equipment to create a more diverse and competitive product lineup, strengthening market penetration. HD Hyundai Infracore is a South Korea-based producer of construction and earth-moving machinery, offering a wide range of equipment, including solutions used in soil compaction applications.
