North American sales of construction equipment reached about 305,000 units in 2023. North America is one of the largest target markets for construction equipment worldwide. North America overtaking ChinaThe regional structure of the global construction equipment market experienced some major changes in the last years. Sluggish growth in the Chinese construction market coupled with continued idle production in the mining sector and the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic put China’s industrial equipment sales growth to a halt. In 2022, China lost its leading position in the global construction equipment market and was overtaken by North America. It is expected that North America will remain the largest market at least until 2028. Caterpillar as the leading U.S. manufacturerThe largest construction equipment manufacturer was Caterpillar of the United States. After a slump in sales in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2009, Caterpillar successfully fought its way back to the top of the construction equipment market. In 2023, Caterpillar was ranked first with construction equipment sales of some 27.4 billion U.S. dollars. In the same fiscal year, Caterpillar reported a total global revenue of around 67.1 billion U.S. dollars.

北美地区在2023年的建筑设备销售额达到了约305,000台。北美是全球建筑设备市场中的主要目标市场之一。近年来，全球建筑设备市场的区域结构经历了重大变革。中国建筑市场的增长放缓，加之矿业部门的持续闲置生产和COVID-19大流行带来的挑战，使得中国工业设备销售增长停滞。2022年，中国在全球建筑设备市场中的领先地位被北美超越。预计北美市场至少将保持最大市场规模直至2028年。美国卡特彼勒公司作为领先的建筑设备制造商，其销售额位居榜首。在2009年全球金融危机之后销售下滑之后，卡特彼勒公司成功重返建筑设备市场之巅。到2023年，卡特彼勒的设备销售额达到了约274亿美元。在同一年度，卡特彼勒的总全球收入约为671亿美元。
