Global sales of electric construction equipment doubled in 2025

The report also reveals that in 2025, 85 per cent of the electric construction equipment sold in the world was purchased in China, where there are believed to be around 30 OEMs supplying the market. Some 84 per cent of the electric equipment sold in China was mid to large wheeled loaders, which are used predominantly in mining, quarrying and industrial applications. Having established such an overwhelming advantage compared to other electric equipment markets, it is inevitable that China is expected to stay at the forefront of electrification during the forecast period, although its relative share of sales will fall slightly as other regions catch up. 

Off-Highway Research forecasts that global electric equipment sales will rise to 74,803 machines in 2030 with a value close to US$10 billion.
