Industrial Equipment Rental & Leasing in Canada - Industry Research Report

Equipped for anything: Improved conditions in downstream markets will likely support industry growth

Canada's Industrial Equipment Rental and Leasing industry has overcome broad economic declines over the past five years as technological advancements in industrial equipment have spurred rentals. Healthcare facilities regularly rent and replace medical devices that are too costly to purchase and become obsolete quickly. Manufacturing and construction customers have adopted similar strategies to mitigate capital costs and access up-to-date equipment. Although COVID-19 substantially hindered some of the largest markets for industrial equipment rentals (manufacturing), historically low interest rates drove growth in residential construction while demand for equipment from overwhelmed hospitals soared. Despite 2020 declines, industry revenue has swelled at a CAGR of 3.3% over the past five years, reaching an estimated $5.7 billion in 2023.
