'Construction Equipment Market in India 2014' captures the largest segment of the overall domestic construction equipment market.

Global Diesel Genset Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019
M2 - Tue Aug 19, 4:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/57gz6n/global_diesel) has announced the addition of the "Global Diesel Genset Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019" report to their offering. According to TechSci Research report, Global Diesel Genset Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019, the global market for diesel gensets is projected to reach USD19.9 billion by 2019. Low power rating diesel genset is the largest revenue generating segment in the global diesel genset market due to high volume usage of these gensets in commercial, manufacturing, power utility, telecom, data center, mining and petrochemical industries. However, the very high power diesel genset segment is expected to witness fastest growth among all other segments during the forecast period. The global market for diesel gensets is largely dominated by Asia-Pacific due to rapid urbanization and industrialization in this region, with China and India emerging as the largest revenue contributing countries in the region's diesel genset market. During the forecast period, diesel genset market in Middle East & Africa and South America is expected to grow at the fastest rate, driven by strong market growth in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Globally, power demand is increasing rapidly, while supply is not growing at the same pace, thus creating huge power deficit in many parts of the world. Consequently, the demand for power generation equipment such as diesel generators continues to increase worldwide. Poor power infrastructure and unreliable grid power supply have been largely responsible for increasing frequency of power outages, which is likely to boost the demand for diesel gensets across the globe. Rising demand for mobile diesel gensets and biofuel based diesel gensets is also expected to benefit the diesel genset market, globally. Based on output power, diesel gensets are broadly classified under low power (below 75kVA), medium power (75.1kVA to 350kVA), high power (350.1kVA to 750kVA) and very high power (750.1kVA to 2,000kVA) categories.

Earthmoving Equipment Market in South America 2014-2018: Key Vendors are Caterpillar, Hitachi Construction, JC Bamford Excavator, Komatsu & Volvo AB
M2 - Tue Aug 12, 3:40AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6jdr6l/earthmoving) has announced the addition of the "Earthmoving Equipment Market in South America 2014-2018" report to their offering. Although many organizations would like to have the latest earthmoving equipment technology to improve their productivity, some SMEs find it difficult to buy such equipment because of their high cost. Hence, construction companies focus more on renting the equipment rather than buying it, as the chances of the equipment being idle when there is no business is moderate. Moreover, companies that rent earthmoving equipment do not incur high maintenance cost for such machines. Construction companies prefer to rent the equipment for a fixed duration. Increased competition among vendors is also forcing vendors to differentiate themselves by providing innovative value-added services. Therefore, earthmoving equipment vendors offer excavators, wheel loaders, and bulldozer tractors on a rental basis. This allows cost-driven organizations in developing countries to choose the latest earthmoving equipment at minimal cost and enhance operational productivity. According to the report, the need to reduce infrastructure construction time is one of the major drivers in the Earthmoving Equipment market in South America. Since the capital required for infrastructure projects is high, companies cannot afford to incur losses by the slow progression of these projects. The Earth Moving Equipment market in South America can be divided into three main product segments: - Excavators (Crawlers/Wheeled Excavators, Mini Excavators) - Loaders (Crawler/Wheeled/Compact Loaders, Skid-Steer Loaders) - Tractors (Bulldozer/Crawlers Tractors, Wheeled Tractors). Key Vendors - Caterpillar Inc. - Hitachi Construction Machinery Ltd. - JC Bamford Excavator Ltd. - Komatsu Ltd. - Volvo AB Other Prominent Vendors - Doosan Infracore Co. Ltd. - Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. - Liebherr Group - Liugong Machinery Co. - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. - Sany Group Co. Ltd. - Terex Corp. - Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co. Key Questions Answered in this Report - What will the market size be in 2018 and what will the growth rate be? - What are the Key Market Trends? - What is driving this market? - What are the challenges to market growth? - Who are the key vendors in this market space? - What are the market opportunities and threats faced by the key vendors? - What are the strengths and weaknesses of the key vendors?
