Global Hydraulic Excavator special report coming in September

The new report on the global hydraulic excavator industry updates a popular study first published in 2017 by Off-Highway Research. The report will take a deep dive into the global market for crawler, mini and wheeled excavators. Some 570,000 of these machines were sold worldwide in 2025, with a total value of US$65 billion.

The Global Hydraulic Excavator Industry will provide in-depth analysis and sales forecasts by region, manufacturer, machine type and class, production, with forecasts up to 2030. The review is intended as a decision-making tool for manufacturers, distributors, rental companies, financial institutions, importers and all other stakeholders in the global hydraulic excavator market.

Off-Highway Research managing director Chris Sleight said, “The 2017 edition of this report was one of the most popular studies we have ever produced, so I am delighted to be revisiting the topic. The market has changed hugely in the last decade, with more suppliers now active in this space, and much greater global demand for all three excavator types. I believe this report will be essential reading for any company in the excavator segment.”

The findings of this report are based on field research undertaken from January to July 2026, which includes in-depth interviews with the world’s major excavator manufacturers. The report also draws on information produced by Off-Highway Research’s global network of offices in Chile, China, India, Japan, Germany, the UK and the USA.

The review will be available to buy from our store in September 2026. For further details please contact mail@offhighwayresearch.com
