Global Autonomous Crane Market Historical Analysis (2018 to 2022) Vs. Forecast Outlook (2022 to 2032)

As evident from the previous market reports, the overall market followed a growth rate of nearly 16.4% from 2018 to 2022. The need for reviving the global economy rapidly after the COVID-19 outbreak has increased the spending on infrastructure and core industrial sectors. All the industries that produce heavy machinery and other assets are thought to have benefited from this in turn.

Progress is being made across a range of heavy machinery used on building sites, including electric cranes and mini cranes. In the near future, autonomous cranes are anticipated to see high potential development possibilities across numerous end-user verticals, including transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, oil refineries, and maritime, thanks to improvements in technical knowledge and skills of common people in recent years.

What are the Driving Factors for the Global Autonomous Crane Market in the Forecast Years?

It is projected that real estate firms, the public works department, and many other organizations would boost their purchases of autonomous mobile crane vehicles due to improved operational convenience and greater worker safety. Additionally, the industrial environment is rapidly changing due to the adoption of automation, robotics, and the industrial revolution 4.0. During this period, the deployment of smart technology-enabled cranes, such as fully automated and autonomous mobile cranes, is likely to get popular in the coming days.

The global marketplace for autonomous cranes is anticipated to expand as a result of factors like a shift in emphasis toward PPP models of business and an increase in the adoption of recent technological features in truck-mounted cranes. Additionally, the development of automated cranes is being greatly supported by the expansion of the global oil and gas excavation sectors nowadays.

Unfortunately, the higher initial cost of installing automated truck-mounted cranes is a major restraining factor for the expansion of the market. As a matter of fact, fluctuating raw material costs and a shortage of experienced laborers may impede the growth of the autonomous crane industries.

Autonomous crane-using business sectors have been obliged to recruit individuals at higher rates due to the strong requirement for competent personnel for operation. Consequently, it has increased the hidden costs associated with the product which could limit the adoption of autonomous crane machines in many industries.

Category-wise Insights

Which Crane Type is dominating the Global Autonomous Crane Market?

As established by both earlier and the recent market report, by acquiring a sales share of even more than 69.5% in the preceding years, the mobile autonomous crane segment dominated the overall industry. The demand for mobile or truck mounted crane sector is majorly for their flexibility and accessibility at a cheaper cost.

However, during forecast years, the fixed or static crane segment is anticipated to register a growth rate of 24% in comparison to the mobile crane segment. The recent surge in the use of stationary cranes, as it offers increased load capacity at larger heights, mostly in the mining & excavation, marine & vessel loading, and manufacturing industries is what is boosting sales of autonomous cranes of this category.

Who are the Prominent End Users of the Autonomous Crane Market?

The particular category of autonomous cranes designed for building and construction activities is the highest-selling segment of all, and in the year 2022, it represented almost 40% of the revenue generated globally. Both developing and established nations have witnessed significant increases in both residential and non-residential building works. As a result, there is a rising trend in demand for different cranes that can be used in this sector.

Contrarily, autonomous cranes designed for the marine and offshore sectors are observed to be experiencing a rapid expansion in recent years. In the previous year, this segment held a market share of more than 25%. Given the extensive deployment of both mobile and static cranes at the harbours and commercial ports around the world, this segment is poised to experience a remarkable growth rate throughout the forecast years. On the other hand, Mining and excavation end-user verticals are predicted to increase the demand for autonomous mobile cranes in light of the increasing crude oil prices.

Country-wise Insights

How has the United States of America Autonomous Crane Market Grown Faster in Recent Years?
