Further, initiatives by the government for the development of economy, is also going to boost the market growth.
Growth Drivers
Growing Real Estate Sector to Drive the Demand for Construction Equipment
The demand for construction equipment for the development of smart cities, metros in urban areas and commercial buildings all over the world is rising and in order to meet this demand, the government is spending a huge amount in the construction sector. Further, in order to save the cost of machinery and the maintenance, construction firms prefer to take equipment on rental basis especially modern automated equipment. This provides a huge opportunity for many companies to enter into the construction equipment rental business for its high profitability. These factors are anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Foreign Direct Investment to Boost the Market Growth
Over the years, most of the developing and developed countries have seen a tremendous growth in construction industry. Furthermore, improved living standards of people are increasing the demand for improved housing.

The government has relaxed FDI regulations related to minimum built-up area and capital requirement. This FDI will help the countries to grow economically along with the bridging of the financial gaps. Hence, these investments will boost the market growth over the forecast period.
Restraints
High Cost of the Construction Equipment
Technological advancements have increased the efficiency of construction projects by improving the quality of construction practices. However, this advancement also increases the complexities of the business. In order to avoid the expensive breakdowns of heavy equipment, regular maintenance is required. Since, the cost associated with the maintenance is relatively high and in case of breakdown, replacing the component becomes very expensive. Therefore, most of the companies are hesitant to take this measure, which in turn, is acting as a key restraint towards the growth of the market over the forecast period.
