Europe Crane Market Size, Share Analysis and Forecast Report (2026-2035)

Europe Crane Market Growth

The European Union is the largest trading block worldwide. Despite having 5% of the global population, it contributes over 14% in terms of economic value addition to the global GDP. Maritime transport is a key facilitator and driver of Europe’s economic growth, since nearly 3/4ths of all international commerce from the EU is carried out by sea. In Q3 2023, nearly 500.06 million tons of goods were loaded on EU ports, while 306.89 million tons of goods were unloaded. Nearly 806.95 million tons of goods were meant for national transportation, while 481 million tons of goods were meant for international transportation. This is expected to drive the demand for extremely flexible and adaptable quay cranes that can handle port cargo easily and efficiently.

The Machinery Directive of 2006 is expected to be revised and updated by the European Machinery Regulations by 2027. This is expected to lead to the incorporation of site safety management practices into the standard sizes of mobile cranes to ensure sustained demand for the product by the construction industry. This can include suggestions to prevent the risks associated with a crane’s contact with overhead electricity wires and the provision of adequate occupational safety measures.
