Which Trend is Taking the Concrete Mixer Space by Storm?

“Electrification of Concrete Mixer Trucks”

Portable concrete mixers are usually mounted on trucks to improve their portability and add a level of convenience for users. As most of these trucks have been traditionally powered by diesel engines, they are now being seen as a major contributor to pollution and carbon emissions. As the focus on sustainability increases, concrete mixer suppliers are focusing on mounting their cement mixers on electric trucks to comply with stringent emission mandates associated with the use of heavy-duty trucks around the world.

• In February 2023, Volvo Trucks, the truck manufacturing subsidiary of Volvo Group, announced that it had delivered the first heavy-duty electric truck to CEMEX at an event in Berlin, Germany. The Volvo FMX heavy-duty electric truck is capable of completing a full day of work with a single top-up charge during regular break time.
• In June 2023, Aggregate Industries, a renowned construction material provider, announced the launch of its new 26-tonne electric-powered concrete mixer. The product was developed as a result of a partnership between McPhee Mixers, Aggregate Industries, and Renault Trucks.

Country-wise Insights

Asian countries such as China, Japan, and India are projected to be the most rewarding markets for concrete mixer suppliers in the future. However, investing in Middle Eastern countries, European countries, and the United States could also allow concrete mixer companies to amplify their sales if they get their strategies right for these countries as they have very specific regulatory guidelines for construction equipment.

What Makes China a Golden Goose for Concrete Mixer Suppliers?

“High Investments in Infrastructure Development Projects”

Infrastructure development is a crucial part of China’s economic growth plan and this is why the country has been increasingly investing in new infrastructure projects.

• As per an article published in Global Times, China accelerated its investments in infrastructure as the country launched more than 10,000 projects in 2023.

Demand for construction materials and construction equipment in the country is forecasted to soar high owing to the aforementioned factor and benefit the concrete mixer market growth as well. Volumetric mixers, concrete blenders, continuous mixers, self-propelled concrete mixers, cement agitators, and stationary concrete mixers are predicted to be high in demand in China over the next ten years and beyond.

How is Sustainability Influencing Concrete Mixer Sales in the United Kingdom?

“Implementation of Strict Vehicle Emission Norms and Rising Adoption of Electric Vehicles”

Focus on sustainability in the United Kingdom is high just as in almost all European countries, which has led to increased adoption of electric vehicles and implementation of stringent emission mandates of fossil-powered vehicles. Electric concrete mixers are gaining popularity in the country and are projected to witness a hike in sales over the coming years.

Launch of new safety initiatives to prevent mishaps and accidents caused by cement mixers in the United Kingdom is also projected to push companies to improve the safety of their products.

• In June 2023, TVS Interfleet and McPhee Mixers along with the British Aggregates Association (BAA) Concrete Division, announced the launch of a new Rollover Awareness and Prevention Programme (RAPP) to stop truck mixer rollovers. The initiative is projected to raise awareness and improve the safety of truck mixer drivers.

Where Will Bulk of Concrete Mixers Be Used in the United States?

“Residential Construction to Spearhead Concrete Mixer Usage”

The prices of houses in the United States have skyrocketed in recent years and the residential construction sector hasn’t been able to keep up with this trend. The lack of new housing in high-wage cities has influentially contributed to the housing crisis of the country and is projected to worsen if residential construction activity doesn’t pick up soon.

Efforts of state governments in the country to reduce homelessness and boost the availability of houses are slated to uplift demand for residential construction in the future thereby promoting concrete mixer sales as well. Planetary mixers, single shaft concrete mixers, concrete blenders, batch mixers, and ready mix concrete mixers are forecasted to have a bright demand outlook in the United States.
