Electric Skid-Steer Loaders Global Market Report 2025

The electric skid-steer loaders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.05 billion in 2024 to $1.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increase in urban construction projects, the rise in green building certifications, the demonstration of lower maintenance costs, the tightening of emission regulations, and investments in electrification research and development.

The electric skid-steer loaders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the expansion of electric equipment rental fleets, increased public infrastructure investments, greater fuel cost volatility, growing mechanization in developing regions, and continued urbanization and infrastructure development. Key trends anticipated during this period include the development of fast-charging and swappable battery systems, integration of AI and telematics for predictive maintenance, the shift toward lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, regulatory initiatives promoting zero-emission construction zones, and the advancement of electric equipment models.

The increase in construction projects is expected to drive the growth of the electric skid-steer loaders market in the coming years. Construction projects involve organized and planned efforts to build, modify, or demolish physical structures or infrastructure. The rise in these projects is primarily due to rapid urbanization, which boosts demand for new infrastructure, housing, and commercial development. Electric skid-steer loaders contribute to these projects by providing compact, versatile, and environmentally friendly solutions for tasks such as excavation, material handling, grading, and site cleanup, particularly in urban or indoor settings where noise and emissions must be minimized. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the seasonally adjusted annual rate of privately owned housing starts reached 1.361 million units, a 1.6% increase from the revised March figure of 1.339 million units. Thus, the growth in construction activity is supporting the expansion of the electric skid-steer loaders market.

Leading companies in the electric skid-steer loader market are emphasizing innovation by developing products such as cabinless skid-steer loaders to improve automation and operator safety. Cabinless skid-steer loaders are compact machines designed without a conventional operator cab and are typically operated remotely or autonomously. For instance, in April 2024, Firstgreen Industries a.s., a manufacturer based in the Czech Republic, introduced the ROCKEAT Electric Skid-Steer Loader. This loader is a powerful, emission-free solution designed for use in mining, construction, and other hazardous industries. It features zero emissions and quiet operation, making it well-suited for environmentally sensitive and noise-restricted areas. The machine is engineered for high performance and enhanced safety, supporting sustainable operations and improving worker safety and operational efficiency.
