Mobile Crushers And Screeners Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Crushers, Screeners), By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Mobile Crushers And Screeners Market Size & Trends

The global mobile crushers and screeners market size was valued at USD 3.66 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2023 to 2030. Factors such as the increase in urbanization and infrastructure development and the growing mining industry globally are expected to drive market growth. Moreover, the increasing need for material recycling is propelling demand for mobile crushers and screeners.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global mobile crushers & screeners market. It disrupted the global supply chains, leading to shortages of raw materials, contractors, subcontractors, and workers in the construction industry. Consequently, construction activities were adversely affected, with some building material supply chains, such as those of aggregate manufacturers, temporarily halting their production and distribution. According to a survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), from 23 March 2020 to 26 March 2020, 39% of contractors reported that projects had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In August 2022, SBM Mineral Processing GmbH introduced the REMAX 600 track-mobile impact crusher as a technological platform for an AI-based automated production monitoring system. The company, along with researchers from Montanuniversität Leoben, a university for metallurgy and mining based in Austria, is currently in the process of developing the technology that will include advanced features such as a sensor system, video technology, and powerful communication and IT networks. The REMAX 600 can handle a feed capacity of 600 tons/hour, accommodating material feed sizes up to 900 mm and a maximum weight of 75 tons depending on the equipment.

Safety is a top priority in the design of mobile screeners and crushers. Recent advances include features such as remote-controlled operation, automatic emergency stops, and intelligent sensors that detect potential hazards and alert operators. For instance, Sandvik AB offers a range of crushers and screeners with a remote monitoring function named Sandvik My Fleet.

Type Insights

Based on type, the market is segmented into crushers and screeners. The crushers segment held a revenue share of 68.8% in 2022 and is expected to register a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period. The primary demand for mobile crushers in the market is to replace traditional stationary stone-crushing plants with more flexible and efficient mobile crushers. In recent years, mobile crushers have become increasingly popular in the field of material recycling, which involves recycling debris from demolished concrete structures into aggregates. Additionally, mobile crushers offer greater flexibility, allowing them to be easily transported to different locations and adapted to different crushing requirements. These advantages have made mobile crushers a popular choice for many businesses looking to improve their efficiency and sustainability in the construction, mining, and recycling industries. 

The screeners segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period. There has been increasing demand for technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable screening equipment from the recycling, construction, mining, and aggregate manufacturing industries. Manufacturers are introducing more advance and sustainable mobile screeners to meet customer’s demands. For instance, in May 2022, Maskin Mekano introduced the SH 1202 screening plant with features such as minimum operator intervention and an online electrical cabinet, which allows service technicians to remotely assist users in troubleshooting or calibrating the machines.

Application Insights

Based on application, the market is segmented into mining & quarry, construction, material recycling, and others. The mining & quarry segment held a revenue share of 30.5% in 2022 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period. The use of mobile crushers and screeners in the mining and quarry industry has been on the rise in recent years. This trend is driven by several factors, including the need for efficient operations, increased flexibility, and reduced costs. One of the key advantages of using mobile crushers and screeners in the mining and quarry industry is their ability to reduce operating costs. These machines are more efficient than traditional stationary crushers and screens, as they require less energy to operate and can be moved to different locations as needed. This reduces the need for expensive transportation and reduces the overall cost of production.

The construction segment is likely to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. One of the primary drivers of the increasing application of mobile crushers & screeners in the construction industry is the rising demand for construction materials and the need for efficient ways of processing them. Mobile crushers and screeners offer a convenient and cost-effective solution to meet this demand, allowing contractors to process materials on-site and eliminate the need to transport materials to and from a fixed processing facility. In May 2022, Horst Klöppner, a Germany-based demolition and recycling company, expanded its fleet of equipment with the purchase of a Rockster R700S impact crusher and an RSS410 scalping screen. The R700S impact crusher and the RSS410 screening plant will work together to process concrete and asphalt while separating various materials, including rubble, asphalt, concrete, brick, metal, and natural stone.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific dominated the market with a share of 30.5% in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of over 5.6% over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing rapid urbanization & infrastructure development, which in turn driving the growth of the mobile crushers & screeners market. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the region needs around USD 1.7 trillion per year in infrastructure investment between 2016 and 2030 to maintain its growth momentum.   

Middle East & Africa is expected to grow at the second-highest CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. The Middle East region is witnessing rapid infrastructure and urban construction growth, while the African region is dominant in mining activities. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Sub-Saharan Africa is estimated to possess 30% of global mineral reserves. These factors are anticipated to propel market growth in the region.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The competitive landscape of the mobile crushers & screeners market is consolidated, having a few global as well as local mobile crushers & screeners equipment and service providers. The key participants are undertaking strategic initiatives such as collaboration & partnerships, expansion, and product launches.

In June 2022, Tesab, a company specializing in aggregate crushing, launched its latest product, the 700ie hybrid electric jaw crusher, at the Hillhead 2022 exhibition. The new machine is an upgrade of the well-established 700i model and is designed to be more cost-effective and fuel-efficient, while still maintaining the same crushing capacity of over 350 tons/hour as its diesel-powered equivalent. The 700ie uses less than 20 liters of fuel per hour and is equipped with an all-electric drive system with a three-year warranty on the core electric components. It can also run on mains electricity, offering even lower running costs. Some prominent players in the global mobile crushers and screeners market are:
