According to Fact.MR, the market is valued at USD 5.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 8.1 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%.

The Fact.MR report, “Excavator Rental Market Forecast and Outlook 2025–2035,” highlights that global revenues will rise by USD 2.5 billion over the forecast period, driven by rising demand in construction, mining, and industrial applications. The report emphasizes the operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of rental models as key growth drivers.

Rental Models Driving Efficiency and Flexibility

Crawler excavators lead the market, accounting for 48% of rental demand in 2025, due to their versatility across construction sites and heavy-duty operations. Hydraulic excavators follow closely, preferred for precise digging, material handling, and urban infrastructure projects. Compact excavators are gaining traction in small-scale and residential projects due to maneuverability and lower operating costs.

“Equipment rental is no longer a temporary solution; it has become a strategic choice,” said a Fact.MR research analyst. “Contractors benefit from access to modern excavators without significant upfront investment, while rental providers ensure maintenance, compliance, and fleet reliability.”
