Construction Machinery Attachment Overview

Construction machinery attachments are the additional machineries or components that are attached to the construction machinery to boost the overall efficiency of the construction machinery during the construction activities such as earthmoving, material handling, and others. There are various construction machinery attachments available in the market such as earth drill, forklift, dozer blade, job crane, rock breaker, quick coupler, loader bucket, ripper tooth, and others.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Construction Machinery Attachment Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a negative impact on several industries and the construction machinery attachment market size drastically declined. This is majorly owing to postponement or cancellation of various construction projects. This has ultimately lowered the demand for construction machinery attachment due to disruptions in supply chain, as well as economic slowdown across several countries. In addition, the import-export restrictions were laid down on major construction machinery attachment producing countries such as the U.S. and China. Restricted construction activity, labor scarcity, and uncertain demand for construction had a drastic impact on construction machinery market growth during the pandemic.

Additionally, disruptions in the exports of automotive parts from China as well as closure of automotive assembly and manufacturing units had hampered the construction industry market share during the pandemic. Due to the rapid increase in the number of persons infected with the coronavirus, the government was forced to implement shutdowns, resulting in the temporary closure of several companies. Large infrastructure construction projects were halted because of global social distancing norms. As a result, demand for construction machines fell, and enterprises in the market were forced to suspend or restrict output, thereby reducing market revenues. For example, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., a Japanese construction business that manufactures and sells construction and transportation machinery, declared a halt in production at a number of locations that include Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia during COVID19 lockdowns.

Growing Construction Projects in Industrial Sector to Drive the Market Growth

The construction machinery attachment market is being driven by an increase in construction projects such as malls, multiplexes, and hotels. Government’s spending on various projects to improve the country's infrastructure such as the construction of flyovers, airports, highways, and industrial zones will further boost economic activities. Investments in infrastructure, residential and commercial infrastructure, and increased institutional capital expenditures in the U. S. are some of the factors affecting the expansion of construction machinery manufacturers. The United Kingdom and India have intensified their building operations in various sectors. The rising infrastructure development activities will increase the demand for construction machinery attachments during the forecast period.

Growing Popularity of High Cost of Construction Machinery to Restrain the Market Growth

Construction machinery demands large capital expenditures and technological innovations to ease the construction activities. As a result, it is projected that demand would be hampered with regards to this aspect over the forecast period, and end users may prefer to buy the product rather than lease it, which will be more cost-effective for customers which is anticipated to hamper the construction machinery attachment market growth.

Rapid Growth in Construction & Mining Activities Post-Pandemic to Generate Excellent Opportunities

 The construction and mining activities post-pandemic have increased rapidly. For instance, in India the construction of stretches of national highways, as well as the approval and completion of numerous projects and fundraising efforts, will result in significant growth for India's road sector in 2022, making it a better year than the one before it. In 2022, the government authorities prioritized work towards successful implementation of various programmes like comprehensive multi-modal national transportation and logistics network, connectivity with remote and challenging terrains, decongestion of crucial locations on the road network, and advancement with the voluntary vehicle scrappage programme.

Additionally, in January 2022, the government gave its approval for the construction of 21 Greenfield airports across the nation. As per the official statement by the government, in the Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, the government has planned to construct the nation's biggest airport in the coming years. Also, India's Ministry of Civil Aviation has further planned to construct 21 more airports. It is expected that The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is likely to spend INR 25,000 crores over the next four to five years to build new airports, expand existing airports, and upgrade several current airports. This includes modifying and enlarging current terminals, building brand-new terminals, enlarging or bolstering current runways, technical blocks, aprons, and the control towers of the Airport Navigation Services. These factors are anticipated to drive the construction machinery attachment market share post-pandemic.
