The cranes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $38.3 billion in 2023 to $40.28 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The expansion seen in the historical period can be attributed to a construction boom, the rapid pace of industrialization, ongoing infrastructure development, expansions in ports and shipyards, construction of power plants, and the overall growth within the manufacturing sector.
The cranes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $49.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period is expected due to the advancement of renewable energy projects, continued expansion in e-commerce, an increased focus on safety measures, the rise of prefabrication techniques, modernization efforts in harbors and shipyards, and a heightened emphasis on eco-friendly solutions within the construction and maritime industries. Key trends projected for this period encompass the integration of telematics and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, the development of eco-friendly and energy-efficient cranes, the creation of compact and mobile crane models, the automation and implementation of robotics in crane operations, and advancements in hydraulic systems within the industry.
The surge in global construction expenditure is propelling growth within the cranes market. This uptick is fueled by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and robust economic expansion in emerging economies, leading to heightened investment in construction activities worldwide. This increased expenditure in construction is anticipated to drive the demand for cranes, as construction teams seek faster and more efficient material handling equipment to ensure safe operations and minimize human risk on site. For instance, as per the U.S. Census Bureau's April 2022 report on monthly construction spending, the projected construction spending was $1,744.8 billion, indicating a 0.8% increase from the revised March estimate of $1,740.6 billion. Consequently, the escalating investment in construction is poised to fuel a surge in crane demand throughout the forecast period.
Anticipated growth in crude oil demand is poised to drive expansion within the cranes market. These heavy-duty lifting machines play a crucial role in the exploration, extraction, and transportation of crude oil. For instance, as of October 2023, projections from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicate an estimated consumption of 25 billion cubic meters of natural gas in India by 2024, showing an annual growth rate of 9%. Additionally, the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) forecasts a substantial 50% surge in oil demand in India by 2030, compared to a 7% global demand growth. As a result, the escalating demand for crude oil supply is expected to significantly bolster the need for cranes throughout the forecast period.
Advancements in technology represent a prominent trend gaining traction within the cranes market. The industry is witnessing a shift towards automation aimed at enhancing work efficiency, incorporating features such as anti-collision systems, zoning capabilities, and internet-based setups. Companies operating in this sector are leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision to develop autonomous crane systems. These systems enable operators to monitor crane movements from a control room using onboard cameras and remote-control stations. The primary objective of these innovations is to remove the workforce from potentially hazardous and challenging environments involving large machinery, ensuring their safety and comfort by enabling remote crane operations from a control room. For instance, in February 2021, Manitex Valla, a subsidiary of Manitex International in the United States, introduced the V 110 R Electric Mobile Crane, a battery-operated crane controlled remotely, showcasing the industry's move towards innovative solutions.
Major players in the cranes market are embracing new technological solutions such as the T-Link Telematics platform to fortify their market presence. For example, in May 2021, Terex Corporation, a prominent US-based manufacturer of lifting and material-handling equipment, introduced the T-Link Telematics platform. This platform is compatible with Terex Rough Terrain Cranes, granting customers access to real-time data. This data encompasses crucial information for managing crane configuration, status, alarms, position, and scheduled maintenance alerts, ultimately optimizing performance. T-Link empowers customers to remotely access operational data from their crane fleet, offering accurate, up-to-date information from field operations, available 24/7, accessible from any location worldwide via internet-connected devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablets. This innovative technology marks a significant advancement in the mobile cranes market, enhancing operational efficiency and accessibility for users.
