Motor Grader Market Size, Share and Industry Analysis By Type [Rigid Frame & Articulated Frame], By Capacity [Small Motor Graders (80-150 HP), Medium Motor Graders (150-300 HP) & Large Motor Graders (Above 300 HP)], By Application [Construction, Mining, Forestry & Agriculture and Others] and Regional Forecast Report, 2032

The global motor grader market size was valued at USD 3,799.0 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 8,140.8 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period. The global motor grader market is estimated to grow, with the increasing need for better-quality of shallow finish and for speeding up the grading process, unlike the rough grading process that is performed by other construction vehicles and heavy equipment, such as bulldozers and scrapers.

The major players catering to the market are investing in research & development activities for upgrading graders, to provide better steering & draft control in tricky underfoot conditions such as mud, snow & sand.

The global Motor Graders Market is also being reshaped by the integration of telematics, autonomous operation systems, and real-time performance monitoring tools. OEMs such as Caterpillar and Deere & Company are increasingly embedding IoT-based diagnostic systems that allow predictive maintenance and enhanced fleet management. Moreover, the adoption of hybrid and electric motor graders is gaining traction as governments and enterprises move toward carbon-neutral infrastructure projects.

For instance, Volvo Construction Equipment and Komatsu Ltd. have both announced pilot programs for battery-electric graders aimed at reducing emissions and operational costs. This transition toward sustainability, combined with digital optimization, is positioning motor graders as a critical component of next-generation construction machinery portfolios.

A shift in the market has been observed in the market since the launch of the motor grader because earlier grading was done by dozers and other heavy equipment machinery, as it provides specialized grading that is not restricted to one surface. Furthermore, an additional advantage of graders is that it can be operated with multiple attachments for numerous applications in construction & mining industry such as pavement of roads, certain soil foundation for buildings & underground mining.

Motor graders are being sold at their capacity, i.e., whether it is a small motor grader, medium motor grader or large motor grader. The medium motor grader is expected to drive the market as it provides better handling with the weight being the less, efficient power supply and precise control over the blades.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Asia Pacific

"Increasing government investment in infrastructure favor the growth of the Asia Pacific, and Europe is predicted to have a substantial growth"

Asia Pacific was valued at USD 1,011.2 Million in 2018 and is anticipated to emerge as a dominant region in the global market during the forecast period. Growth perceived in the region is likely to be driven by infrastructure development & increasing capital investments by government. Similarly, China is spending its capital more in public infrastructure and renewable energy, along with residential construction projects, which is expected to boost the motor grader market in the region.

Emerging economies including India, Indonesia, and Vietnam are witnessing rapid urbanization supported by multi-billion-dollar infrastructure pipelines such as India’s National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and Indonesia’s Trans-Sumatra Highway Project. These initiatives are expected to create sustained demand for high-precision motor graders across both public and private sectors. Additionally, Japan and South Korea are accelerating smart city and transport modernization programs, where advanced articulated frame motor graders are increasingly utilized for automated grading and slope management applications.

Furthermore, major infrastructure projects such as ongoing Jubail II industrial city expansion in Saudi Arabia whose, second phase which begun in the year 2014, is expected to conclude by 2024 costing around USD 11 Billion which will increase the sales of the graders in the region.
