The Indian government has recently invested in the infrastructure sector. Substantial investment in the development of infrastructure in India is supposed to increase the demand for different kinds of construction equipment.
The real estate market in India is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~11.54%, to reach a value of
~INR 12,0104.2 Bn by 2020, from ~INR 7004.34 Bn in 2015. The demand for construction equipment is increasing considerably in India due to the growth of the real estate market.
Market challenges:
Stringent regulations, along with increasing environmental concerns delay approvals for real estate projects in India. This, in turn, increases the overall budget of projects while slowing down the processes. Heavy equipment is rented and lie unused for months. As a result, in India, the revenue of the construction equipment market is limited. The secondary market for used construction equipment is yet to develop. This prevents the resale of equipment, which in turn reduces the overall revenue of the secondary construction equipment market.
