Construction Machinery Manufacturing in Canada industry analysis

The health of the construction sector varies significantly based on factors such as macroeconomic conditions, interest rates, foreign demand and public investment, making construction machinery producers susceptible to considerable revenue volatility. During the early stages of the 2020 pandemic, demand for new equipment slowed sharply, primarily due to weaker nonresidential construction activity. The Bank of Canada responded by cutting interest rates to stimulate the economy, leading to a revenue boom in 2021. Although rates began to rise in 2022, the recovering construction sector sustained revenue and profit gains, although at a slower pace. As macroeconomic conditions improved, interest rates started to fall in 2024. Although lower rates typically support construction activity, an extended period of high rates limited revenue growth, resulting in relatively small changes in revenue in 2024 and 2025. Construction machinery producers have benefited from public sector infrastructure initiatives. Government investment in projects such as roads, bridges and energy and manufacturing facilities supports demand for construction companies, which rely heavily on machinery. Higher commodity prices have boosted machinery demand from the mining, agriculture and forestry sectors, driving machinery sales. Overall, these factors are set to cause revenue to strengthen at a CAGR of 8.3% to $3.9 billion by the end of 2025, including a 0.5% gain in that year.

Trends and Insights

  • Construction equipment sales rise and fall with the economy. When interest rates drop and consumer confidence is high, demand for construction machinery grows, but rising rates or heightened macroeconomic uncertainty can sharply weaken new construction projects and reduce spending on new equipment.
  • Non-USMCA-compliant equipment will be subject to stricter trade barriers. Increasingly tense trade conditions between the United States and Canada and the possible disruption of cross-border supply chains threaten producers' performance, particularly as more than 50.0% of revenue comes from exports to the United States.
  • Ontario's strategic location offers manufacturers close access to major markets. The province's well-developed transportation infrastructure and thriving manufacturing sector make it an appealing hub for businesses connecting with Canadian and US markets.
  • Construction machinery manufacturers face significant challenges because of heavy import competition. Established brands from countries like the United States and Japan dominate the market, intensifying the competitive landscape and putting pressure on domestic producers.
