Dublin, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Australia Construction Equipment Market Research Report 2025-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Australia Construction Equipment Market was sized at 24,422 units in 2024, and is projected to reach 27,180 units by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 1.80%
Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo CE, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Liebherr and XCMG are the front-runners in the country’s construction equipment market. These companies have strong market share and offer a diverse set of equipment in the Australian market.
Earthmoving equipment accounted for the largest market share of the Australia construction equipment market in 2024. Excavators in the earthmoving segment accounted for the largest share in 2024. The country’s investment in developing its public infrastructure and increased utilization of excavators in the mining sector drive the Australian earthmoving market.
On the other hand, demand for material handling equipment is also growing due to the booming manufacturing sector, driving the development of warehouses and logistics parks across the country.
The forklifts and telescopic handler segment holds the largest share among material handling equipment in Australia, driven by ongoing and upcoming warehouse developments. A notable example is the recent approval of Bisinella Developments’ major industrial warehouse project in Geelong, which is set to boost demand for these machines over the forecast year.
The road construction equipment segment is estimated to reach $102 million by value by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 1.34%. Road roller sales are high in Australia in response to the rising renovation and expansion of transport networks. The Western Australian Government is forging ahead with a new road infrastructure project, promising to deliver jobs and reduce motorists’ travel times. Worth more than $1 billion, the Tonkin Highway Extension and Thomas Road Upgrade project is one of the largest road transport infrastructure investments delivered to Perth’s south-east corridor.
Construction equipment utilization in the construction industry by end-user (volume) has the largest market share in 2024. In 2025, construction hotspots in Australia include cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, where urbanization and population growth drive demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Melbourne is witnessing a surge in construction activity, with an emphasis on transport infrastructure and mixed-use developments. Infrastructure projects like the Sydney Metro and the West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne are leading the way. Brisbane, driven by preparations for the 2032 Olympics, is experiencing unprecedented growth, particularly in commercial and sporting facilities.
The construction equipment used in the mining industry is undergoing significant expansion, primarily due to the growing mining and mineral extraction activities of the country. Key construction equipment used in the mining sector, such as hydraulic excavators, wheeled loaders, dump trucks, bulldozers, and motor graders, is expected to witness significant sales with rising mining activity in the country.
