Market Growth Factors

One of the major market expansion factors is the increasing uptake of electric skid steers. Switching to electric is mainly motivated by their environment, friendly performance and relatively cheaper operating costs, thus making them a viable alternative to the traditional diesel, powered machinery. Being electric vehicles, they produce zero emissions at the tailpipe and are hence more suitable for use in urban areas or in confined spaces where there is a need for less air pollution and noise. They also usually bring down the overall cost of ownership mainly due to lower maintenance costs. Many countries are also supporting the use of these electric machines through stricter emission regulations. As battery technology improves the operating time and charging time of electric skid steers, they are becoming more and more popular at construction and landscaping sites.

In the construction segment of the skid steer market, there is a spike in demand for eco, friendly skid steer loaders. The manufacturers' efforts are targeted toward lowering emissions and fuel consumption, using more sustainable materials, and electrifying and hybridizing their machines in response to consumer demands for equipment with a smaller carbon footprint to be used in construction projects. This change is due to stricter environmental regulations, the industry's concern for sustainability, and better battery technology.

The market experiences its highest growth rate because construction activities reach their peak level of development. The world experiences two main factors that drive demand for skid steer loaders which are the fast-paced urban growth and the massive funding dedicated to building infrastructure projects. Construction sites use these machines for purposes of excavating land and grading operations and performing different earth-moving tasks. The market experiences demand because residential and commercial construction projects take place in developing countries. The construction equipment industry now recognizes skid steer loaders as essential because urban construction sites and big civil engineering projects require their compact capabilities while rising public infrastructure work and urban regeneration projects drive their usage.
