Construction Equipment Rental Market: The Role of Digitalization and Automation

The global construction equipment rental market size is expected to reach USD 280.13 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.12% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing government spending on infrastructure projects and rising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the building sector for skyscrapers, motorways, bridges, and smart cities is driving the growth. The market for renting construction equipment is expanding as a result of ongoing technological advancements that result in modern construction tools that focus on projects and streamline the entire construction process. Small and medium-sized construction enterprises and contractors are encouraged to use rental construction equipment due to the higher total cost of ownership of modern construction equipment and machines. Additionally, construction equipment leasing offers a cost-effective substitute for purchasing for construction companies since it lowers the costs of ownership such as maintenance, repair, insurance, and storage.
