Heavy lifting: Diverging trends in building and infrastructure markets are stretching revenue

The Construction Machinery and Operator Hire industry generates the bulk of its revenue from supplying cranes, pile drivers, concrete pumping equipment and skilled operators for high-rise commercial building and apartment projects. The industry also provides specialist heavy machinery and personnel for large-scale mining and infrastructure projects, like installing wind turbines. Divergent trends in critical building and infrastructure markets have dampened the industry's performance. Revenue has been declining at an annualised 0.9% over the past five years and is expected to total $3.0 billion in 2022-23, including an anticipated 6.7% revenue slump in the current year.

Industry firms hire out machinery, equipment (mainly cranes) and operators for use on a range of construction and industrial projects.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
