The Global Construction Equipment Rental Market was valued at USD 159.8 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% to reach USD 277.2 billion by 2035.
The industry is witnessing high demand for earthmoving, materials handling, and aerial lift equipment across residential, commercial, and large infrastructure projects. Small and mid-sized contractors are among the fastest adopters of rental solutions, while large contractors are increasingly using rented machinery to meet peak demands and access specialized equipment without long-term investment. Rental companies are shifting their business models, focusing on customer retention, service bundling, and predictable pricing. Expansion of fleets targeted to high-value sectors, such as renewable energy, tunneling, and major infrastructure, allows providers to offer purpose-built equipment, secure project-specific contracts, and develop loyal customer bases. This approach ensures rental companies can cater to evolving construction demands while improving operational efficiency and profitability.
The earthmoving and roadbuilding equipment segment held a 57% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2026 to 2035. Companies are consolidating fleets and acquiring complementary businesses to provide diversified machinery options, expand regional presence, and serve larger established customer bases.
The diesel-powered equipment segment held a 93% share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2026 and 2035. Diesel machinery remains the preferred choice for heavy-duty operations due to its reliability, power, and efficiency in earthmoving, paving, and concrete applications. Rental fleets continue to focus on diesel-powered units to meet contractor needs in projects where electricity-based solutions are not feasible.
U.S. Construction Equipment Rental Market reached USD 75.6 billion in 2025. Growth in the U.S. is driven by robust infrastructure spending, mature commercial construction, and the established rental industry. Contractors increasingly rely on rental equipment to scale operations, reduce capital expenditure, and access specialized machinery for short-term or high-demand projects.
Key players operating in the Global Construction Equipment Rental Market include Allmand Brothers, Ashtead Technology (Sunbelt Rentals), Atlas Rents, Bakersfield Rental, Herc Rentals, JLG, John Deere Rental, Loxam, Ritchie Bros.
