Construction Equipment Rental Market Growth And Trends
Higher total cost ownership of new construction equipment and machines encourages small and medium scale construction companies and contractors to adopt rental construction equipment. Additionally, renting reduces the maintenance, repair, insurance and warehousing costs associated with owning; thus, construction equipment rental provides an economical alternative to the construction firms.
The pandemic led to a global lockdown and supply chain disruption which impacted the manufacturing, construction, and mining sectors at large. Post pandemic, issues such as lack of availability of skilled workforce, spiking raw material prices and high EMIs have amplified uncertainties in the construction sector subsequently hampering the growth pace. Thus, to avoid the risk aversion and reduce uncertainty, larger-scale construction companies are switching toward renting the construction equipment's, thereby driving the growth of the construction rental equipment market.
