Excavators and motor graders are having their moments under the sun.

Infrastructure projects are pushing up demand for these machines

STANDING FIRM

C

ment and devices that can pervade narrow
spaces and delicate structures. It is this factor

pact excavator market. Then there is a need for

tomotive and electronics, which has also propelled demand
for the global compact excavator market. There is a stellar
need for movable tools and object within the constructions
industry which in turn gives a boost to market demand.
With the growth of the construction end use industry pre-

to grow rapidly.

BEATING THE WEST

There’s no dearth of technology in excavators and motor

graders today. Having considered the modern infrastructure

projects coming up, construction equipment companies are

Considering that CEs are becoming more advanced, manu-

in terms of lesser maintenance costs and offering profits to
