Rough-Terrain Crane Market: Dynamics

Strong Growth of Utilities Infrastructure Promotes Market Growth

Expansion of the rough-terrain crane market can be attributed to the strong growth of utilities infrastructure. Developed countries including the U.S. and countries in Western Europe are experiencing strong growth in renewable utilities infrastructure. Rough-terrain cranes are increasingly adopted for different applications in the installation and maintenance of utilities infrastructure and machinery. Thus, growth of utilities infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the rough-terrain crane market in the upcoming years.

High Initial Investment Hampers Growth of the Market

The purchase of rough-terrain cranes involves high initial investment and maintenance cost. Thus, customers and end-users prefer to rent rough-terrain cranes. Moreover, small-scale construction activities require equipment such as rough-terrain cranes on a temporary basis, which are used to load and unload heavy materials. Thus, availability of rough-terrain cranes on rent and high initial investment associated with these cranes are expected to hamper the growth of the market in the near future.
