#3 In EuropeThe machinery rental revenue is forecast to drop at a compound annual rate of 4.5% over the five years through 2024 to €139.2 billion, including an estimated decline of 1.8% in 2024. The machinery rental market faces increasing challenges, including slower economic growth and tighter monetary policy. For example, Germany's residential housing sector is seeing a drop in apartment building permits. However, a surge in green construction investments in Nordic nations like Sweden and Denmark promises to offset this slump. Significant infrastructure projects across Europe, driven by public sector strategies post-COVID-19 restrictions, offer lucrative opportunities for equipment rental businesses. For instance, Sunbelt Rentals secured a contract to supply machinery for the UK's HS2 project, demonstrating that large-scale projects can drive industry profit despite current market trends.
