Market size
The global crushing-equipment market was estimated at $6.03 billion in 2025 and $6.56 billion in 2026. In the United States, crushed-stone production was estimated at 1.5 billion tons valued at $26 billion in 2024.[61][62]
Forecast & CAGR
The global crushing-equipment market is forecast to reach $10.99 billion by 2032, representing an 8.94% compound annual growth rate from 2026. Europe’s construction-equipment market, a major downstream demand indicator, grew 4.6% in 2025 after declining 19% in 2024.[61][63]
Market share & regions
In U.S. crushed-stone production by value in 2024, Texas led with $3.35 billion, followed by Florida at $1.75 billion and Pennsylvania at $1.74 billion. The ten leading states accounted for about 55% of U.S. production by tonnage.[62]
Segmentation
Crushing equipment is commonly segmented by product into jaw, cone, impact and gyratory crushers, and by application into mining, construction, quarrying, cement, metallurgy and recycling. U.S. crushed-stone output in 2024 was used mainly for construction aggregates at 72%, followed by cement manufacturing at 17% and lime manufacturing at 6%.[61][62]
Key players & concentration
Major publicly reported suppliers include Metso and Sandvik. Metso reported €1.266 billion in 2025 Aggregates sales, while Sandvik reported SEK 10.435 billion in 2025 Rock Processing revenue; these figures indicate substantial scale but are not directly comparable with total crusher-market revenue.[1][20]
Pricing
USGS data imply an average 2024 U.S. crushed-stone production value of approximately $17.33 per ton, calculated from $26 billion of value and 1.5 billion tons of output. This is an aggregate production-value average, not a quoted crusher-equipment price.[62]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Demand is supported by infrastructure, mining, quarrying, demolition and recycling, while automation, digital plant optimization and energy efficiency are increasing product differentiation. CECE identified supply-chain pressure, labor shortages, tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty as continuing constraints in 2026.[61][63][20]
Consumer behavior & competition
Equipment buyers increasingly evaluate total lifecycle performance, including automation, maintenance, energy use and aftermarket support rather than only initial machine price. Metso reported €1.458 billion in 2025 Metso Plus sales, covering products and services positioned around energy, water and resource efficiency.[20][1]
Regulation
In the United States, MSHA’s respirable-crystalline-silica rule became effective on June 17, 2024, with several amendments taking effect on April 14, 2025 and April 8, 2026. The rule increases compliance requirements for mine and quarry operators using crushing and screening equipment.[64]
Latest news
The latest reported operating data show a mixed recovery: Metso said 2025 Aggregates equipment sales increased 23%, while CECE reported that European construction-equipment sales rose 4.6% in 2025 after a 19% decline in 2024. Sandvik’s Rock Processing revenue was SEK 10.435 billion in 2025, down from SEK 10.704 billion in 2024.[1][63][20]
