Global Forestry Equipment Market Overview
The key driver impacting the forestry equipment market is the growing focus on forest management activities and rising investments in the forestry sector across the globe. For instance, In April 2016, the World Bank Group launched a Forest Action Plan (FAP) for Fiscal Years 2016-2020 that majorly focuses on two priority areas. The first is an investment in sustainable forest management. Second is the “forest-smart” intervention in which the World Bank Group takes a complete look at forest landscapes. Due to this FAP in 2016, World Bank’s forest portfolio augmented from US$1.8 billion (FY16) to US$2.3 billion (FY18); also, International Finance Corporation (IFC) lending rose from US$24 million (FY16) to US$118 million (FY18). Moreover, growing industrial round wood production across various countries such as the U.S., China, Canada, and Brisl is also a significant determinant that adds growth to the market.
According to Value Market Research, the global forestry equipment market size was valued at around USD 9500 million in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 4% during the forecast period of 2020 to 2026.
The growing use of wood for industrial and household applications is estimated to improve market demand in the forecast period. for instance, as per the state of the world forest report, about one-third of the global population, or about 2.4 billion people, utilize wood to give basic energy services such as cooking, boiling, and heating water. overall, forests supply around 40 percent of world renewable energy in the form of woodfuel – as much as hydroelectric, solar, and wind power combined. however, growing concerns related to high initial & maintenance costs may hamper the global forestry equipment industry in the long run. also, limited consumer knowledge in developing countries is negatively impacting the growth of the market. the current industry trends, such as robust technological advancements in the logging method together with developments in forest science, and increasing awareness regarding forest preservation and management, are expected to provide beneficial market opportunities for the market players.
The forestry equipment market is vast, with many local and global players. the key leaders follow several strategies to improve their market position, such as acquisitions, mergers, expansions, product innovations, and extending product portfolio, to enhance their market share globally. for instance, in 2017, tigercat announced the launch of RemoteLog to improve productivity by reducing downtime and offering real-time data on mechanical performance. similarly, in February 2019, Komatsu America Corp acquired TimberPro, Inc to strengthen its position in the full-tree-length market and offer a highly competitive product range for professional logging. The key players included in the report Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Epiroc AB, Deere Construction & Forestry, Sandvik AB, Komatsu Ltd., LiebherrInternational AG, Sandvik AB, Tigercat, and Volvo Construction Equipment.
In this research report, the forestry equipment market is segmented by product and region.
Analysis by Product:
By product, the report is categorized into felling, extracting, on-site, and other equipment. The felling equipment segment dominates the product segment with a 35% market share in 2020—the felling equipment, such as a feller buncher, chainsaw, and harvester. The massive demand for chainsaws due to rising tinder harvesting activities globally and the development of cordless & battery-powered chainsaws used in horticulture maintenance and firewood fragmentation drives the felling equipment segment's growth in the coming years. Moreover, the rising number of contracts between the end-users and product manufacturers contributes to the vast market demand in the forecast period.
Analysis by Region:
In the regional outlook of the global forestry equipment market, the North America region dominates with a 37% market share during the forecast period. It is due to the growing promotion of silviculture for forest and vegetation maintenance by the U.S. government authorities and the ever-increasing usage of forest products, such as sawn wood and logwoods, for infrastructure development is augmenting the use of forestry machines in the North American region. Moreover, the advent of various practices such as density management encourages the utilization of chainsaws and harvesters contributes to the development of the forestry equipment market across North America.
