Construction Equipment Rental & Leasing in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
The construction machinery and equipment hire sector has shown a slight upward trend over the past five years, despite the downturn in the construction industry that began in 2022. Overall, the sector has grown at an average rate of 0.9 per cent per year since 2021. Due to increasing activity in civil engineering and the stabilisation of building construction that has been emerging since 2025, the sector’s total turnover is expected to rise moderately this year, although material shortages linked to the outbreak of the Iran conflict in spring 2026, along with rises in interest rates and energy prices, have recently dampened the momentum of recovery in building construction once again. IBISWorld expects turnover to reach €7 billion in 2026, representing a 1.6 per cent increase on the previous year. The profit margin of industry players, which had come under pressure in 2022 and 2023 due to lower construction activity and higher labour costs, is currently back above the average for the past five years.
