2. Come to our markets briefing at ConExpo

Off-Highway Research will hold an in-person briefing during ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 to provide its latest outlook on the construction equipment market. The ticketed event is designed to give OEMs and component manufacturers a clear view of the current state of equipment markets, along with what lies ahead.

Off-Highway Research managing director, Chris Sleight said, “I have never known such complexity in construction equipment markets around the world. Today OEMs and component suppliers have to navigate tariffs and trade tensions, and think about what that means for their global footprint. They also need an eye on zero carbon and the transition to new technologies, all while navigating the ups and downs of what can be a brutally cyclical market. We will use our ConExpo breakfast briefing to address these issues and more, and to give our view on the market outlook.”

Sleight confirmed the topics to be covered in this year’s briefing will include:

• How will tariffs affect the US equipment market in 2026?
• When will the European market start on a road to sustained recovery?
• How is the competitive landscape changing as China’s leading OEMs increasingly focus on overseas markets?
• How will global manufacturing strategies be influenced by trade tensions and a surge in antidumping cases?
• What share of the global market is electric equipment taking and what does the future hold?
