The growth of the construction industry along with infrastructure development projects across major cities is expected to drive the demand for heavy duty construction equipment such as backhoes, loaders, excavators, and dozers among others over the forecast period.

Increasing Demand for Mining and Quarrying Activities

The mining and quarrying industry has seen significant demand in recent years as the production of metals, minerals and stone products has expanded in the U.S. This sector plays an important role in the domestic economy as it supplies crucial raw materials used in manufacturing, agriculture and infrastructure development. As the activities in mining and quarrying ramp up to meet growing needs, it has led to higher procurement of heavy duty construction equipment such as excavators, haul trucks, dozers and loaders.

The demand for coal has risen steadily with increasing electricity generation requirements and a revitalized manufacturing industry. Major coal mining states like Wyoming and West Virginia have witnessed a surge in coal extraction projects that require heavy machinery for activities such as overburden removal, transportation of coal, and reclamation of mined lands. Similarly, the demand for metals and minerals has also been on an upswing, driven by factors such as the shale gas boom increasing demand for sand, gravel, and limestone as well as public infrastructure spending boosting the demand for aggregates. Whether it is mountaintop removal for coal mining, open pit mining for metals like copper and molybdenum or quarrying of building materials, bigger and higher capacity equipment is constantly being deployed to maximize productivity and output.

With numerous new mining leases being approved and existing mines ramping up production, it has stimulated high demand for aftermarket services as well. Older fleets of equipment require frequent overhaul, repair and replacement of parts to remain operational in tough working conditions. Many mining companies prefer outright replacement of older units with new fuel-efficient models as well to reduce operating costs. This lifecycle demand for OEM parts, components, service plans and rebuilds is helping sustain manufacturers' revenues. The mining sector is also a testing ground for new technologies and concepts like automation, which spurs additional demand. Overall, the robust activity levels in mining and quarrying of various commodities have significantly boosted procurement of supporting heavy machinery.
