Market Segmentation
Overhead Cranes: Market Segmentation The overhead cranes market can be segmented by type, business type and end-user industry.
By Type
Based on cranes type, it is segregated into single girder and double girder. In 2023, the single girder segment accounted for the largest portion of revenue owing to its use in confined spaces and relatively low load applications, coupled with a large number of OEMs and aftermarket services catering to SMEs. The double girder segment is preferred over single girder segment as they can accommodate heavier loads and spanning distance which makes it the choice for heavy duty operations in industries like automotive, aerospace, and steel manufacturing resulting in higher cost per unit installed.
By Business Type
Market have been categorized into two segments which includes Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) & Aftermarket (Aftersales) segment. Based on the End-Use, the OEM segment accounted for the largest share in 2023 as OEMs play a crucial role in providing custom-made, high-quality crane systems that are designed to meet specific industrial needs. The aftersales segment including maintenance, repair, spare parts and digital upgrade services is expected to grow at a higher CAGR from 2023 to 2030 due to the increasing installed base and demand for lifecycle management services and digital retrofitting of legacy crane fleets.
By End-User Industry
The market is categorized into automotive, metal & mining, manufacturing construction utilities shipyards and other In 2023, the manufacturing segment accounted for the largest share as overhead cranes are an important on-site material flow equipment which are employed to transport heavy materials, components and finished goods throughout automotive, electronics and consumer goods production facilities. The metal & mining and shipyards verticals are projected to account for substantial revenue share over the course of the forecast period, owing to continuous demand from steel processing and port infrastructure for heavy-lift solutions. Global construction investment cycles are driving demand in the construction sector, especially in developing economies within Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America.
