For each of the aforementioned segments, the report provides market size and forecasts for the Australian construction machinery market in value (in USD). According to industry studies, the Australian construction machinery market may be found at
The size of the Australian construction machinery market is projected to be USD 2.79 billion in 2024 and USD 3.29 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.35% from 2024 to 2029.There will likely be a boom in construction activities due to Australia’s growing urbanisation and expansion, as well as the government’s increased focus on improving the country’s current infrastructure. This will increase demand for equipment such as excavators, loaders, cranes, dump trucks, and more. Therefore, it is projected that the country’s growing infrastructure development activities will raise demand for material handling and earthmoving equipment, propelling the construction equipment market’s expansion. Furthermore, the nation’s growing building activity is a result of the government’s increased investment in modernising the current infrastructure.
The Australian government pledged to achieve net zero by 2050 and declared in 2022 that it will invest USD 16.7 billion in clean energy.
