Therefore, the rising heavy-duty equipment production and sales are boosting the ground engaging tools market growth across the country. The off-highway vehicle sales grew exponentially in the second half of 2021 due to favorable government policies, such as the Chinese Phase VI Emission Standards (China VI) for commercial vehicles. The Chinese government is investing extensively in infrastructure projects, such as Intermodal Freight Logistics Parks, leading to an increased demand for ground engaging tools to enhance equipment performance and reduce wear and tear. Such factors are propelling the Asia Pacific ground engaging tools market in the post pandemic era.

Based on application, the Asia Pacific ground engaging tools market is segmented into excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and others. The excavators segment held the largest share in the market in 2021, and it is also anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper, bucket, and cab on a rotating platform and are used for digging trenches, holes, and foundations. The growing demand for ground engaging tools for excavators to increase the life expectancy of machine parts and raise production while decreasing the overall cost of machine ownership is propelling this segment.

According to the China Construction Machinery Association (CCMA), 26 leading excavator makers in China sold 126,941 digging machines, up 85% Y-o-Y in the first quarter of 2021. In November 2020, Volvo CE unveiled its two major heavy-duty excavators in the country and launched 10 models throughout 2021. Doosan Infracore Co. and Hyundai Construction Equipment Co., South Korea's excavator makers, are observing a steady rise in their excavator shipments to China due to China's booming construction market. The Chinese government's policy to boost the economy is driving the regional civil engineering and construction market growth, thus accelerating excavator sales. Such data indicates a rising demand for ground engaging tools in Asia Pacific.
