Market Dynamics
Introduction
Construction equipment refers to any device or equipment intended to use in construction or material handling activities. In recent years, the popularity of used construction equipment has been rising. One of the most obvious reasons to buy used construction equipment is that they are less expensive than new equipment.
Market Drivers
A growing number of reconstruction and refurbishment activities in the residential and commercial sectors is driving the used construction equipment demand globally. Also, a rise in both private and government investments in new infrastructure projects is likely to give impetus to the demand for used construction equipment.
Covid-19 Impact
Despite the emergence of the pandemic, the used construction equipment market experienced steady growth in 2020, although the declining consumer spending capacity negatively impacted the real estate industry. Around the world, government authorities are prioritizing and investing in healthcare & medical facilities instead of large public construction projects. Growing financial uncertainties and the lack of sufficient capital are pushing construction contractors to opt for used equipment.
