Demand for excavators is being fueled by an increasing number of infrastructure construction projects, such as bridges, highways, and intelligent cities. Governments worldwide are undertaking large-scale development projects in the form of buildings, and especially in emerging economies such as China and India. Residential and commercial structures demand are also increasing in unison with population growth of cities, fueling excavation activity in underground utilities, foundation excavations, and area clearing.

Emergence of Hybrid and Electric Excavators: Electric and hybrid excavators lead the way in increasing demand for clean construction equipment. Governments are compelling companies to invest in environmentally friendly equipment through tighter emissions restrictions. As a response to these changing demands, Komatsu and Volvo CE are introducing zero-emission excavators that provide lower fuel intake and noise reduction with more efficiency in performance.

Giant infrastructure projects and rising urbanization have made Asia-Pacific the front-runner in the excavators market. Excavator demand is on the rise with government-led initiatives in transport infrastructure and smart cities. With major players like Komatsu and Hitachi creating AI-based models to improve productivity, the use of electric and autonomous excavators is on the rise. Growth in the market is further spurred by road upgrades, metro rail, and intelligent city planning.
