 Compact excavator market and COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe effect on the worldwide economy as it devastated several businesses all over the world. The novel coronavirus has fastly spread throughout different countries and regions worldwide, wreaking havoc on people’s lives and the community.

Because of the fast diffusion of the pandemic, governments across various countries were compelled to impose a lockdown on their nations. So manufacturing facilities of various goods were temporarily closed. Moreover, the worldwide supply chain disrupts due to stringent government-imposed travel restrictions.

Factors of Market Growth 

Factors of Market Growth

Easily transportable and Cost-efficient

When you buy or import construction equipment transporting it from one place to another is a common concern. Heavy equipment is more difficult, as well as more expensive, to transport. But Compact excavators, or smaller machines, are easier to transport since they fit into a pickup truck’s trailer or extended pickup beds.

Tiny excavators work the same way as larger excavators, as their size does not limit their functionality. They can still swing 360 degrees, while they are low in price than large excavators. 

Fastly industrialization in developing countries

As a result of globalization, rapidly developing economies such as India, Brazil, Mexico, and China have witnessed rapid industrial expansion. Globalization has prompted international manufacturers to open factories in these countries.

The rising demand for mini excavator items is putting strain on their supply chain and logistics systems. As a result, demand for automated warehouses is increasing across industries, increasing demand for excavators.

Lack of knowledge about the operation of compact excavator

A lack of operator training is a significant factor causing many job site injuries, fatalities, and accidents. Compact excavators can accidentally come into contact with electric lines, and clearances from the wires and verified sources, such as government electrical safety instructions, are needed. Companies that want to maximize compact excavators’ productivity must devote more time and investment to properly training their workers.

Strategies Deployed in Mini Excavators Market

1. Komatsu started with its first electric micro excavator model, the PC01E-1 excavator; the new equipment is an electric version of Komatsu’s typically powered PC01 excavator. As the batteries are swappable, customers can continue work simply by exchanging them; the new electric motor also enables the PC01E-1 to offer high performance and achieve “more excavation than the conventional model in low revolutions.

Komatsu and Proterra announced a cooperation agreement on battery systems for electric construction equipment. Komatsu will employ Proterra’s high-performance battery systems to develop evidence of a concept electric excavator in 2021 before expected commercial production in 2023 to 2024. 

2. In Mar 2022, Volvo Construction Equipment launched the ECR25 electric excavator. They feel proud to lead the charge by being the first major manufacturer to offer electric solutions to a region significant to the global construction equipment market. In Mar 2021, Volvo Construction Equipment, a subsidiary of Volvo Group, launched two new short-swing models: the ECR50 and ECR58.

The zero-tail-swing radius of the short-swing radius enables the excavators to work in confined spaces while reducing the risk of damage. The ECR50 features reinforced digging equipment, undercarriage, and hoods for increased durability; the next generation ECR58 has a 10% increased lifting capacity compared to the D-series. It also has a 5% greater bucket breakout force and 7% greater arm tear-out force, allowing customers to handle more significant attachments easily, even in challenging worksite conditions.
