Mobile Crane Market Size & Overview

The Mobile Crane Market was valued at USD 18.9 billion in 2024 & is projected to reach around USD 27.4 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The growth is propelled by the rising demand for mobile lifting solutions across construction, infrastructure development, shipping & energy sectors.

 

Mobile Crane Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers

The rising number of megaprojects for infrastructure worldwide is a key growth driver. According to the World Bank, over $9 trillion is spent annually on infrastructure. Installing a single utility-scale wind turbine can require cranes with lifting capacities of over 300 tons & boom lengths exceeding 100 meters, which underscores the growing need for technologically advanced mobile cranes in this segment. According to the International Energy Agency, global renewable power capacity additions are expected to exceed 440 GW in 2024, with wind energy accounting for a substantial share. Contractors increasingly rent mobile cranes to reduce CAPEX, ensure access to modern fleets & comply with project-specific requirements. The rising preference for crane rental over ownership is reshaping the market landscape.

 

Market Restraints

A truck-mounted crane can cost between USD 200,000 - USD 500,000, depending on specifications. Crawler cranes & all-terrain cranes used for large infrastructure & wind projects can exceed USD 1.5 Mn per unit. Beyond the purchase price, additional costs such as insurance, skilled operator wages, fuel, maintenance & road transport permits add to the total cost of ownership (TCO). The industry is facing a global shortage of certified crane operators, particularly in fast-developing construction markets. According to labor statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the demand for crane operators is expected to grow by 6% from 2022-2032, faster than the average for most occupations. However, the supply of skilled personnel is not keeping pace, resulting in project delays, safety risks, and underutilization of high-capacity cranes.

 

Market Opportunities

Global infrastructure spending is projected to surpass USD 94 trillion by 2040, according to the Global Infrastructure Hub (GIH), with a major share allocated to transportation, energy & urban construction. The crane rental market is expanding steadily, with rental-based models accounting for over 60% of mobile crane usage in developed markets due to flexibility, lower capital costs & access to diverse equipment fleets. With increasing digitalization in construction, demand is growing for mobile cranes integrated with GPS tracking, load monitoring, real-time diagnostics & fleet management software.
