(Based on IMF, U.S. Infrastructure Law, EU industrial spending reports, 2025)

Global infrastructure spending is projected to rise sharply in 2025 as governments accelerate investment in transportation, energy, and industrial facilities. According to the IMF and multiple national infrastructure agencies, the U.S. is entering the second major deployment phase of its USD 1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, resulting in increased demand for cranes, tunneling equipment, and material-handling machines. Similarly, Europe’s continued investment in renewable energy and urban redevelopment is supporting strong activity across civil engineering and construction sectors.

This broad expansion is driving higher utilization of equipment that relies heavily on rotational systems, including mobile cranes, crawler cranes, drilling rigs, and lifting platforms. Fleet operators across North America and Europe report growth in long-range rentals for machines with high-duty slewing functions, as infrastructure contracts increasingly require tight lifting schedules and long operating cycles.

Manufacturers note that contractors are prioritizing equipment with durable swing mechanisms, long-life slewing bearings, and robust gear reducers, as downtime has become a critical cost factor. The trend toward 24/7 project operation—especially in bridge replacement, port expansion, and urban transit upgrades—has also boosted the need for components capable of continuous high-load rotation.

With global infrastructure demand expected to remain elevated through 2027, companies across the lifting and construction machinery supply chain foresee sustained market growth for high-performance rotational systems.
