Growing demand

摘要

At some 158,000 machines sold, with a retail value of more than $26 billion, the North American construction equipment segment was the largest and most valuable regional market in the world in 2016. This year it is likely to be overtaken in volume terms by China. However, the higher machine specification in the US and Canada, partly but not wholly due to more stringent engine emission requirements, will still make it the most valuable market in the world.
