Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/53fzwl/construction) has announced the addition of the "APAC Construction Equipment Market 2014-2018 with Komatsu, Sany Group, Caterpillar, Hitachi, AB Volvo & Doosan Infracore Dominating" report to their offering.

The Infrastructure industry in key developing countries such as China, India, and South Korea is expected to attract a high level of investment based on its various planned construction projects to develop the countries' transportation, housing, and energy infrastructure facilities. Though several organizations across industries prefer latest construction equipment technology in order to improve their productivity, several SMEs find it difficult to buy such equipment because of the high cost. In addition, the increased competition among vendors is forcing vendors to differentiate themselves from other vendors by providing innovative and value-added services. Therefore, construction equipment vendors are offering equipment on lease. Hence, some construction equipment vendors have started offering equipment such as excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, crawler cranes, truck cranes, and truck mounted cranes on a rental basis. This allows cost-driven organizations in developing countries to opt for the latest technology construction equipment at minimal cost, thereby improving their operational productivity. Thus, the option of renting construction equipment encourages customers to use a wide range of construction equipment. Further, the report states that a major challenge in the market is the increasing cost of construction equipment. The prices of construction equipment are increasing due to the rising prices of raw materials. Key vendors dominating this space include: - Komatsu Ltd. - Sany Group Co. Ltd. - Caterpillar Inc. - Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. - AB Volvo - Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Development Co. Ltd. - Doosan Infracore (China) Co. Ltd.
