The growing infrastructure development activities such as construction of dams, bridges, and land reclamation works especially in emerging economies will drive the demand for amphibious excavators. Additionally, the increasing demand for multifunctional equipment that can work on land and water will also support market growth. Wide applications in utility sector construction, agriculture, mining, and forestry operations will further contribute to the consumption of amphibious excavators between 2025 and 2032. However, high production and maintenance costs of amphibious excavators may hinder the market growth to some extent over the forecast period.

Increasing Demand for Canal and Waterway Construction Projects

With the rapid urbanization in many parts of the world, construction of new infrastructure for transporting goods and people is critical. While roads and railways form the backbone, waterways play a vital complementary role as well. They help reduce congestion on other modes of transport while being more environment friendly. Many countries have ambitious plans for developing new canals as well as expanding and deepening existing canals to enable passage of larger vessels. This requires advanced machinery that can efficiently perform earthworks and excavation work within the water body. Amphibious excavators have emerged as the ideal equipment for such projects due to their unique capability to transition between land and water. Their tracks or wheels enable movement on the ground while the buoyant hull allows working in depths of up to 12 meters under water. The multifunctional tools and attachments extend their versatility for tasks like dredging, laying of pipelines and construction of retaining walls. With large investments flowing into waterway infrastructure, demand for amphibious excavators is expected to rise substantially in the coming years. Ongoing projects like the Panama Canal expansion, European Union's trans-European transport network, and China's push for inland water logistics will majorly contribute to sales volumes. Finishing schedules of such projects often rely on round-the-clock works which amphibious excavators can efficiently support.
