The Chilean construction equipment market reached a value of US$1.68 billion in 2025

The 2026 South America Country Analysis: Chile provides detailed analysis of the current state of the country’s construction equipment market, emphasizing that both the scale of the country's mining activity and the structural weight of capital-intensive equipment in the overall sales mix, contribute to the size and value of one of the largest construction equipment markets in South America.  

Off-Highway Research forecasts that Chile's construction equipment market will contract to approximately 4,106 units in 2026, a decline of around 3 per cent from the 2025 recovery level, before returning to a gradual growth path through the remainder of the period and reaching an estimated 4,567 units by 2030. The five-year compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2030 is approximately 3 per cent per year, a recovery trajectory that reflects genuine structural tailwinds from the mining and productive infrastructure cycle, offset by persistent weakness in residential construction, constrained public works spending and the still-elevated real cost of capital.

The Country Analysis: Chile provides in-depth analysis of market size and trends, population of machines and end-users, equipment available, as well as comprehensive profiles of Chile’s leading construction equipment distributors and forecasts up to 2030. The report is essential reading for companies active in Chile, or those considering entering the market and is intended as a decision-making tool for manufacturers, distributors, rental companies, financial institutions, importers and all other stakeholders.
