The demand for autonomous cranes in the European market is rising

As per the report, the overall valuation of the autonomous crane market is expected to reach up to $21,585.7 million by the year 2032.

Deployment of the autonomous crane at the line of work is found to significantly decrease human errors along with workplace-related injuries. The need for autonomous crane machines is expanding as they assist reduce costs, speed up production, and ultimately increase efficiency.

However, it is projected that the surging need for smart and intelligent cranes in the real estate, geology & excavation, maritime transport, and manufacturing industries would support the market's growth globally.

Since cranes are widely employed in the construction business, sales of automated cranes on the global market are anticipated to rise as well. Additionally, the need for autonomous mobile cranes is anticipated to increase because of evolving infrastructure sector requirements, such as increased safety and pleasant experience for the workers.

Moreover, to operate autonomous cranes effectively, skilled personnel is needed which poses a major challenge to the autonomous crane market opportunities. Contrarily, committing to long-term business agreements through contracts and pacts is anticipated to present the autonomous crane market participants with fruitful expansion opportunities.

Key takeaways

As per the autonomous crane market report of 2022, the total revenue share occupied by the static crane sector was nearly 30.5%.

Due to the rising demand for autonomous crane services in the building and construction sector as well as the mining and excavation industry, the mobile crane segment is anticipated to develop at the quickest rate during the forecast years.

Over the forecast years, the autonomous crane market segment dedicated to mining and excavation end-user verticals is anticipated to post a strong CAGR of 25%.

Asia Pacific autonomous crane market is expected to register a CAGR of 24.7% due to its constantly expanding industrial sector in all emerging economies.

Regional analysis

Through the course of the forecast years, a rise in demand for automated cranes at 25.5% is projected in the Europe market. This essentially is predicted to be aided by an increase in the number of building and industrial projects in the countries of Germany, the UK, France, Spain, and others.

The emphasis on the development and establishment of sources of renewable energy like wind turbines is growing, which is also expected to open up a lot of possibilities for autonomous mobile cranes. As these are comparatively small so have the benefit of a small footprint, which makes them simple to utilise on confined building sites the adoption of autonomous cranes in European economies has increased significantly.

Competitive landscape

AIDrivers Ltd., Cargotec Corporation, Columbus McKinnon, INTSITE Ltd., Komatsu Ltd., Konecranes Plc, Schneider Electric, SMIE, Syracuse, and VOCA are a few of the major companies profiled in this research report.

Recent developments

A rising number of AEC firms have begun to adopt high-end technologies such as automation and ML for optimising their processes and creating autonomous engine cranes, like INTSITE Ltd., a Tel Aviv-based firm.

To illustrate, INTSITE Ltd. revealed in 2018 that it received a $1.35 million pre-seed investment from Terra Venture Partners as well as the Israel Innovation Authority to finance their autonomous small crane technology.

To increase the security and efficiency at the construction sites, INTSITE has also planned to utilise the funding to further improve its platform, which employs image-processing techniques to analyse real-time feeds from camera sensors.

Additionally, at the Aker Solutions Unmanned Demo Day in the year 2019, an autonomous engine crane guidance system created by Aker BP and Optilift AS was exhibited to businesses and the public.

The technology is made so that a truck crane may handle freight logistics entirely on its own. This autonomous crane controlling system aims to let a crane dump and reload cargo from delivery cruise lines to stations without any assistance from the crew on deck.
