The global truck loader crane market size is estimated to reach ~USD 20 Billion by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of ~6% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In addition to this, in the year 2022, the market size of truck loader crane was ~USD 11 Billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increase in construction activity. Construction is increasing owing to the desire for better and larger homes and workplaces. Building permits in the US grew by around 14% in February 2023, reaching a seasonally adjusted annual pace of about 2 million. Meanwhile, from a nearly three-year low of roughly 722,000 in January, single-family authorizations increased by about 8% to nearly 777,000 in February.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of truck loader cranes include the rising demand for cranes and especially mobile cranes. Demand is being driven by ongoing road, metro rail, and infrastructure improvements as well as the pending need for routine maintenance of cement factories, power plants, and oil refineries as the lockout is relaxing. The demand for mobile cranes in the 20–60 tons range as well as the higher 80–100 tons range for all-terrain models is expected to increase in India. The demand forecast for the year 2021 was around 50–60 units for the 20–60 tons category and nearly 30–35 units for the 80–100 tons category.

Growth Drivers
Growing Demand and Trade of Industrial Equipment– Industrial machinery development keeps pace with technological innovation. Almost all manufacturing, building, and manufacturing operations today are in need of industrial equipment. In 2021 the total export and import value of industrial machinery and equipment in Canada were around USD 34,000 and USD 69,000, respectively.
Higher Manufacturing of Automobiles–Truck loader cranes are huge machinery and are used in the automotive industry for loading and unloading heavy vehicles. They are also used in moving cables, engines, tires, and various other materials. In the world, around 80 million automobiles were produced in 2021, which is approximately 1% higher from 2020.
Increasing Constructional Activities All Across the World – It is one of the most crucial pieces of machinery in the construction sector. It can lift or lower big goods and carry them from one location to another using its hoist rope, wire ropes, and sheaves. They are now frequently seen at any location where heavy lifting is done. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that construction spending is expected to reach an annual rate of USD 1,825.7 billion in January 2023.
Rapidly Growing Urbanization – Rising urbanization and expansion of smart cities is expected to boost the demand for energy, housing, and other commodities. Which in turn is going to push various industries, such as construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, and others. According to the United Nations, as of 2018, 55% of the world's population resides in cities, and by 2050, that number is projected to rise to 68%. Moreover, research suggests that by 2050, there may be an additional 2.5 billion urban residents worldwide.
Rising Demand for Oil & Gas – These cranes are used to transport liquid containers securely and safely in the oil extraction industry. According to the projection of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the average daily consumption of liquid fuels would rise from 99.4 million barrels in 2022 to 100.9 million barrels in 2023. Moreover, the average global production of liquid fuels was around 100 million b/d in 2022, and in 2023 and 2024, it is anticipated to increase by an average of 1.6 million b/d.
Challenges
The global truck loader crane market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end user industry into rental, construction, mining, oil & gas, energy, forestry, and logistics. Out of the seven end-user industry of truck loader crane, the construction segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing constructional activities that is expected on the account of rising demand for housing. In the United States, almost 2 billion new homes had been built as of June 2022. In addition to this, in Japan, there were about 900 thousand home construction started in 2022. In comparison to the prior year, this represented an increase of 0.4%. Furthermore, the segment growth can also be ascribed to the increased need for construction equipment. Truck loader cranes are highly used for loading and unloading construction equipment at the construction site. In 2022, there were more than 1 million construction machinery sales worldwide.
The global truck loader crane market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product type into small duty, medium duty, big duty, and heavy duty. Amongst these four segments, the big duty segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. A plethora of benefits at an efficient cost is primarily attributed to segment growth. The quality of big-duty truck loader cranes makes them less expensive and they are easier to move in comparison to heavy-duty. They have a variety of applications, such as it can be used to load and unload rolling stock for motorized trucks. They are quite adaptable. Moreover, the big-duty truck loader crane is stabilized by its legs, and the crane is counter-weighted by the vehicle.
