The global mobile crane market is undergoing a remarkable transformation driven by increased seaborne trade, booming warehouse utilization, and expanding infrastructure projects worldwide. As the logistics and construction sectors evolve, mobile cranes play a crucial role in lifting efficiency, site mobility, and fast turnaround operations.
The mobile crane market is projected to nearly double in value from USD 18.9 billion in 2025 to USD 35.2 billion by 2035, with a steady CAGR of 6.7%. This growth is primarily fueled by increased infrastructure development worldwide and heightened demand for efficient lifting solutions in construction, oil & gas, and logistics sectors.
Mobile cranes are now vital across various sectors, including logistics, construction, utilities, and port operations, due to their ease of deployment and maneuverability. Among all types, truck-mounted cranes have emerged as the most preferred owing to their adaptability in boom configuration and lifting capacity making them indispensable for dynamic construction and infrastructure sites.
With safety, traceability, and time-sensitive delivery at the forefront of logistics management, mobile cranes are increasingly integrated into operations not just for their lifting strength, but also for their mobility, reach, and enhanced productivity across diverse terrains and environments.

Key Factors Shaping Market Dynamics
Government-backed infrastructure investments, digital warehouse expansions, and the push toward sustainable construction are significantly shaping mobile crane demand globally.
Rising Infrastructure Development Investments by Governments to Fuel Demand
Massive infrastructure developments are underway across countries like India, China, and the U.S., where highways, smart cities, and transportation corridors are being prioritized. These projects heavily depend on mobile cranes for heavy lifting, steel beam installations, and assembling precast structures.
Governments are offering incentives and public-private partnerships to accelerate construction. This is expected to fuel demand for robust mobile crane fleets, especially those capable of handling large-scale urban and industrial projects efficiently.
Surging Demand for Affordable Housing and Commercial Spaces Boosts Growth
Urbanization trends have generated strong momentum for affordable residential housing in emerging economies. Mobile cranes are essential for constructing mid-to-high-rise buildings in densely populated urban spaces.
Similarly, the commercial construction sector—shopping centers, tech parks, and hospitality infrastructure is experiencing consistent growth, spurring increased procurement of versatile mobile cranes.
Shift toward Hybrid and Electric Models to Present New Opportunities
As the world gravitates toward low-emission construction practices, manufacturers are introducing electric and hybrid mobile cranes. These alternatives reduce carbon footprint, comply with strict emission norms, and lower operational costs.
This trend is expected to drive future investments in eco-friendly crane technology. Several players are also focusing on electrification strategies to gain traction in regions with strong green mandates such as Europe and parts of North America.
“Increased investments in logistics, e-commerce, and sustainable infrastructure are making mobile cranes a backbone of modern industry.”
