In the Middle East & Africa, the concrete and road construction market is witnessing significant growth, driven by infrastructure development and urbanization. Compactors and road rollers play crucial roles in this sector, facilitating the construction of highways, airports, and residential complexes. Compactors are essential for compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt during road construction, ensuring a stable foundation and durability. They come in various types, including vibratory compactors that use vibrations to enhance compaction efficiency. In the Middle East & Africa, the demand for compactors is rising due to ongoing infrastructure projects aimed at improving connectivity and logistics. Road rollers, on the other hand, are pivotal in smoothing and compacting asphalt or concrete surfaces. With advancements in technology, tandem rollers and pneumatic tired rollers are increasingly used to achieve desired surface finishes and durability in road projects across the region. Both compactors and road rollers are integral to enhancing construction efficiency and ensuring long-term infrastructure quality in the Middle East & Africa. As governments and private investors continue to prioritize infrastructure development, the market for these equipment is expected to expand further, driven by the need for reliable and sustainable construction solutions.

In the Middle East & Africa region, the concrete and road construction market, particularly in the segment of pavers/asphalt finishers, is experiencing notable growth and transformation. This growth is driven by increasing investments in infrastructure development, urbanization trends, and the demand for modernization of transportation networks. In the Middle East, countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are witnessing extensive road and highway construction projects as part of their economic diversification strategies. These nations are investing heavily in advanced pavers and asphalt finishers to enhance road durability, traffic management, and overall infrastructure efficiency. In Africa, countries such as Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa are focusing on expanding their road networks to support economic growth and urban expansion. Investments in pavers and asphalt finishers are crucial for improving road quality, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring safer transportation routes across diverse terrains. The market for pavers/asphalt finishers in the Middle East & Africa is characterized by technological advancements, including the adoption of automated and GPS-guided equipment, which enhances precision and productivity in construction projects. Moreover, sustainability concerns are driving the demand for eco-friendly asphalt materials and energy-efficient machinery in the region.

COVID-19 Impacts:
The Canada construction equipment market was hit hardest in the first three quarters of 2020 due to the significant spread of COVID-19. Governments across the country accepted strict safety measures, including lockdown, to contain the virus. This lockdown resulted in the temporary suspension of construction activities, the shutdown of construction equipment manufacturing facilities, and disturbances in imports and exports. However, changes in consumer preference and increasing industrialization across the country are anticipated to propel higher market growth during the forecast period.
