United States Loader Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)

United States Loader Market Growth

The US manufacturing industry employs 8.41% of the entire workforce and accounts for nearly 10.70% of the total industrial output. In 2021, it generated an output of $2.5 trillion. In Q1 2024, real investment in US manufacturing structures increased by 80% from Q4 2022. This has led to a quarter percentage point rise in the annual GDP growth of the USA in Q4 2022. The implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act is expected to provide large subsidies for the development of critical manufacturing industries, thereby driving the demand for loaders for material handling and transportation over the forecast period.

In 2022, the United States produced non-fuel minerals worth $98.2 billion. Western US states account for a major portion of mineral production in the United States. This includes Arizona and Nevada, which together account for nearly 19.4% of the total mineral production. In 2022, nearly 70% of the domestic copper production occurred in Arizona, while Nevada accounted for a share of 72% in domestic gold production. Nevada also has the sole lithium mining project in the USA, which makes its mining industry extremely important for economic development. The anticipated growth of the mining industry is expected to increase the demand for loaders in the United States.
