Dozer Market Technological Advancements, Growth Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2026
A dozer, also known as bulldozer,
is a crawler which is equipped with a weighty metal plate that is mainly used
in moving soil, sand, debris or other such materials or ruins. Some dozers also
have huge tires instead of continuous tracks. These equipment are widely used
at construction sites where they are used to lift debris; at heavy industry
factories; at mining sites and quarries; at military bases; and farms.
Deforestation, earth moving, ground levelling, and road carving are some of the
applications by regular earth moving Bulldozers.

Increasing construction
activities is the main driving factor for growth of the dozer market
The growth of the construction
industry is a major factor leading to increasing adoption of dozers, thus
aiding in growth of the market. According to Chartered Institute of
Building, by 2030, the construction industry is expected to account for 14.7% of
the global GDP. Moreover, by 2030, the global construction market is projected
to be valued at US$ 17.5 trillion up from US$ 8 trillion in
2015. Governments of various countries are focusing on various initiatives
to develop better infrastructure such as roads, railways, and airports to
enhance economic development. For instance, according to Indian Government’s
Union Budget 2018 – 2019, the government has allocated funds of US$ 92.22
billion for the infrastructure sector. Moreover, urbanization led to increasing
demand for better facilities, infrastructure, and housing. This is expected to
aid in growth of the construction industry. According to United Nation
Organization’s analysis, 54.5% of the world population lived in urban cities in
2016 and is projected to reach 60% by 2030. Bulldozers being an essential
equipment in the construction industry, this is anticipated aid in growth of
the market over the forecast period.
Increasing applications of
dozers in various verticals is expected to be major factor for growth of the
market over the forecast period
Dozers are most commonly used in
the construction industry at sites or conversion sites, where digging or moving
large quantities of rubble is required. Dozers also have a claw, known as
ripper, at the rear which is used to loosen up densely compacted material.
Heavy bulldozers are also used in levelling the terrain.
The blades used in dozers vary in
shapes and sizes to make them suitable for various task. The straight blade or
'S' blade is short and straight and is mainly used in fine grading; the
Universal or 'U' Blade is designed with a tall, curved blade with large side,
to carry material; Semi-U or 'S-U' shaped blade or 'S-U' blade is short with
less curvature and short side, a design which is mainly used in pushing
material.
Some bulldozers have buckets
replacing the blades. Mining dozers are a smaller version of the original
dozers, along with a few modifications, making it easier for operation in small
areas with limited movements. Komatsu America Corp, Caterpillar Inc. are some
of the companies, which manufacture mining dozers.
Moreover, in regions where heavy
snowfalls is observed, the land gets completely covered by thick layers of
ice/snow. In these regions, light weight dozers are used to remove the snow.
For instance, the Calf dozers and Angle plate dozers are majorly used to remove
the snow.
Dozer market: Regional Insight
On the basis of region, the dozer
market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America,
Middle East, and Africa.
Asia Pacific held the dominant
position in the market in 2017 and is projected to retain its dominance
throughout the forecast period (2018–2025). China, India, and Japan are the
growth engines in the region. This is owing to increasing infrastructure
projects in these countries. For instance, in 2013, China announced 'one belt
one road initiative' to connect three regions (Asia, Africa, and Europe), which
has increased aided in growth of the construction industry in the country.
Moreover, increasing government investments in infrastructure sector in India
is expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according India
Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in April 2018, in the Union Budget 2018-2019,
Government has allocated US$ 92.22 Billion for the infrastructure
sector. Dozers play a vital role in the construction industry, thus
creating a conducive environment for growth of the dozer market in Asia
Pacific.
