Electric Skid-Steer Loaders Market Report 2026

The electric skid-steer loaders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.14 billion in 2025 to $1.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban construction growth, emission regulations, noise reduction requirements, compact equipment demand, fuel cost volatility.

The electric skid-steer loaders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electrification of construction machinery, government sustainability mandates, battery cost reductions, smart construction sites, growth in urban infrastructure projects. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of battery powered loaders, rising demand for low emission construction equipment, advancements in lithium ion battery technology, expansion of electric equipment in urban projects, integration of smart monitoring and telematics.

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.

In March 2025, LG Energy Solution Ltd., a battery manufacturer based in South Korea, formed a partnership with Doosan Bobcat Inc. to supply batteries for electric construction equipment. Through this partnership, LG Energy Solution aims to expand its role in the electric construction machinery market by providing advanced battery packs that enhance the performance, efficiency, and sustainability of Doosan Bobcat's equipment. Doosan Bobcat Inc., also based in South Korea, is a manufacturer of electric skid-steer loaders.
