Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hxbj96/construction) has announced the addition of the "European Construction Equipment Market Report 2014" report to their offering. The Construction Equipment market in Europe is driven by several growth factors, and an increase in public infrastructure projects is one of the major drivers. Due to the rapid development of the Eastern European region, increasing growth of public infrastructure has led to the demand for construction equipment. Though many organizations across the industry prefer to have the latest construction equipment technology to improve their productivity, some SMEs find it difficult to buy such equipment due to the high cost. The increasing competition among vendors is also forcing vendors to differentiate themselves by providing innovative value-added services. Therefore, construction equipment vendors are offering construction 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 construction equipment at minimal cost, thereby improving their operational productivity. Thus, the option of renting encourages customers to use a wide range of construction equipment. Further, the report states that a major challenge is the increasing cost of construction equipment due to the rising prices of raw materials. Key vendors dominating this space are: - AB Volvo - Caterpillar Inc - JC Bamford Excavator Ltd - Komatsu Ltd. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Doosan Group - Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. - Larsen & Toubro Ltd - Liebherr Group - Liugong Machinery Co - Terex Corp. - Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science - Technology Co.

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 APAC Construction Equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 22% to 2018. 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.
