The Ground Engaging Tools Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7,087.4 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 23.1% over the forecast period 2022 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Ground engaging tools are used in heavy equipment vehicles such as excavators, loaders, dozers, and graders for various construction and mining activities. These tools are critical for loading, excavating, grasping, grading, and other tasks. They include buckets, rippers, and breakers used for various functions in mining, material handling, agriculture, forestry and construction activities. The rising infrastructural development and mining activities globally drive the demand for heavy construction equipment and associated ground engaging tools.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving growth of the ground engaging tools market is the increasing demand from the construction industry. Rapid urbanization and industrialization are leading to rising construction of roads, bridges, buildings, and other infrastructural projects globally. This is increasing the demand for earthmoving and material handling equipment such as excavators, loaders, which in turn is fueling sales of ground engaging tools. Furthermore, growing investments in public infrastructure from governments worldwide are also boosting construction activities. For instance, the US government passed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill in 2022 to improve the country's infrastructure. This rising focus on infrastructure developments is expected to augment demand for ground engaging tools over the forecast period.
