세계의 중량물 리프팅 장비 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Heavy Lifting Equipment Market was valued at USD 25 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach USD 44.6 billion by 2034.

Market growth is driven by rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and increasing infrastructure investments worldwide. Heavy lifting equipment plays a critical role in enabling the construction of large-scale projects, efficient mining operations, power generation, and seamless shipping and logistics management. The demand for heavy lifting equipment such as cranes, hoists, and transporters has seen significant growth due to advances in automation, electrification, and digital technologies like IoT and telematics, which enhance operational safety, efficiency, and maintenance. In addition, the adoption of electric and hybrid-powered heavy lifting equipment is accelerating as industries aim to reduce emissions and comply with stricter environmental regulations. This shift is particularly evident in regions with aggressive sustainability targets, such as Europe and North America, where government policies and corporate ESG commitments are pushing the transition away from diesel-powered machinery. The integration of advanced battery systems, regenerative braking, and energy-efficient hydraulics is enabling companies to lower operational costs while enhancing environmental performance. Furthermore, innovations such as remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and telematics-enabled monitoring are making these machines safer and more productive, even in complex industrial settings.

The 100-250 tons crane segment held a 30.8% share in 2024. Cranes in this weight class play a vital role in medium to heavy lifting applications and are widely used in infrastructure expansion, mining operations, and large-scale industrial projects. With their strong balance between mobility and lifting strength, these cranes are ideal for complex tasks such as positioning bridge sections, installing wind turbines, and transporting oversized industrial equipment. Their adaptability to function in both densely populated urban zones and remote locations adds to their growing demand across a wide range of operational environments.

In 2024, the cranes segment generated USD 25 billion, underscoring its significance within the heavy lifting equipment sector. This segment includes a variety of specialized machines, such as crawler cranes, tower cranes, mobile cranes, gantry cranes, and overhead cranes, each tailored to serve distinct needs in industries like manufacturing, shipping, energy, and construction. These machines are engineered to deliver precise lifting capabilities, ensuring safe and efficient handling of heavy loads in demanding project conditions.

Asia-Pacific Heavy Lifting Equipment Market will grow at a CAGR of 6.5% through 2034, attributed to massive infrastructure development projects in China, India, and Southeast Asia, alongside increasing adoption of automation and semi-autonomous equipment to address labor shortages. The presence of both global and local players, combined with cost-efficient innovations, is accelerating market penetration in the region.

Key players shaping the Heavy Lifting Equipment Market include Tadano, Konecranes, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), Sarens, Palfinger, SANY, Manitowoc Company, Sennebogen, Komatsu, Liebherr, Terex, Cargotec, Mammoet, JASO Industrial Cranes, and Demag Cranes & Components. These companies are investing in the development of smarter, safer, and greener lifting solutions to meet the evolving demands of industries worldwide. As digital transformation and environmental awareness continue to influence equipment purchasing decisions, the heavy lifting equipment market is poised for robust and sustained growth throughout the next decade.
