Hydraulic Crane Market Report 2026

The hydraulic crane market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.48 billion in 2025 to $12.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to construction sector expansion, infrastructure development projects, industrial material handling needs, urbanization growth, oil and gas project investments.

The hydraulic crane market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart infrastructure projects, adoption of electric lifting equipment, expansion of renewable energy installations, modernization of construction fleets, demand for automated crane operations. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of telematics and load monitoring, rising demand for hybrid and electric cranes, growth of high capacity lifting equipment, expansion of rental crane services, focus on operator safety and automation.

The increasing growth of renewable energy installations is expected to drive the hydraulic crane market in the coming years. Renewable energy installations involve setting up systems to generate power from naturally replenishing sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. The expansion of wind energy projects, in particular, requires high-capacity hydraulic cranes to lift and install large turbine components in challenging and uneven terrains. Hydraulic cranes support these projects by enabling heavy lifting with precision and stability, improving construction speed, safety, and overall efficiency. For example, in December 2024, Eurostat reported that renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of the EU’s total energy consumption in 2023, up from 23% in 2022, reflecting the growing demand for such infrastructure.

Companies in the hydraulic crane market are focusing on advanced products, such as telescoping crawler cranes, to increase lifting capacity and operational flexibility. Telescoping crawler cranes combine a telescopic boom with a crawler chassis, offering reach and adjustability alongside stability and mobility for lifting on rough or uneven terrain. For instance, in March 2025, The Manitowoc Company Inc., a US-based crane manufacturer, launched the Grove Hydraulic Crawler GHC200. This crane features a powerful hydraulic system, a telescopic boom with a maximum reach of 200 feet, advanced load-sensing technology for precise lifting, and a crawler undercarriage for superior stability and maneuverability. The GHC200 also incorporates smart control systems to enhance safety and operational efficiency, making it suitable for heavy lifting in construction, infrastructure, and energy projects.

In February 2025, Jost Werke SE, a Germany-based commercial vehicle components manufacturer, acquired Hyva Holding B.V. for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition allows Jost Werke to expand and enhance its product portfolio and global reach, particularly in the transport, agriculture, construction, and infrastructure sectors. Hyva Holding B.V., based in the Netherlands, specializes in hydraulic cranes and lifting equipment.
