South & Central America Construction Equipment Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Equipment Type (Heavy Construction Vehicles, Earthmoving Equipment, Material Handling Equipment, and Others) and Application (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial)

The construction equipment market in South & Central America is expected to grow from US$15,073.09 million in 2022 to US$23,821.19 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2028.

Economic activities across the region were considerably stifled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a recent Global Infrastructure Hub (GIH) assessment in 2020, the short-term fiscal multiplier averaged 0.80 in one year and 1.53 in two to five years. The finding was derived from a sample of over 3,000 estimations from previous research conducted in developed and developing nations. Infrastructure investment has a long-term impact on product development, which can boost GDP in the long run, albeit the scale of these effects is unknown. The GIH research states that the average elasticity of private GDP to public capital stock is roughly 0.19, implying that a 1% increase in the overall value of the public capital stock will raise production by 0.19% annually. The reliance on communication infrastructure, including telecommunications and broadband services, has grown significantly, with providers reporting a 60% rise in internet traffic since the COVID-19 crisis, according to OECD in 2020.

Businesses have used digital solutions and channels to facilitate communication with employees and consumers. The governments and educational institutions have done so as well. As a result, companies and government agencies are expanding the availability of digital material or converting existing content to digital format, owing to the growth of the construction equipment market.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the South & Central America construction equipment market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
