UAE Construction Equipment Leasing & Rental Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.46% through 2030

Rising infrastructure development, increasing demand for cost-effective equipment access, and growing preference for short-term project-based rentals are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Construction Equipment Leasing & Rental Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The UAE Construction Equipment Leasing & Rental Market was valued at USD 1.37 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.22 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.46% during the forecast period.

The UAE construction equipment rental and leasing market is evolving rapidly as project timelines become tighter and sustainability benchmarks influence procurement practices. The sector is gaining momentum due to an increasing shift towards short-term, project-based machinery use, which aligns well with fluctuating construction cycles and temporary site demands. Demand is rising for specialized equipment that supports urban development, tunneling, and high-rise construction, often required only during specific project phases. Leasing allows contractors to match exact technical specifications without overcommitting capital. Environmental and regulatory pressure is also prompting a shift from legacy machinery to more fuel-efficient, emissions-compliant rental fleets. As digital project planning becomes standard, rental operators are integrating asset availability with digital BIM models and ERP systems, allowing smoother equipment scheduling and reducing idle time. The growing popularity of equipment-as-a-service models is further expanding market engagement, especially among subcontractors managing multiple small-scale sites simultaneously. Rather than ownership, users are opting for outcome-based contracts that focus on uptime and performance guarantees, transforming how value is perceived in machinery deployment. The rise of modular construction and prefab units has also increased the need for precise lifting, placing, and transportation equipment, which is more economical to lease than buy. These structural shifts are reshaping the UAE’s equipment rental landscape.

UAE Construction Equipment Leasing & Rental Market Is Segmented by Type, Equipment Type, and Region.

​In 2024, telescopic handlers emerged as the fastest-growing equipment type in the UAE construction equipment leasing and rental market. Their ability to combine the functionality of cranes, forklifts, and loaders in a single machine made them a preferred choice for contractors handling varied site demands. These machines supported tasks across vertical lifting, load placement at height, and precision material handling in confined job sites, contributing to their increased leasing demand. Construction companies preferred telescopic handlers for their operational versatility and time-saving capabilities, especially for urban and high-rise projects. Rapid growth in multi-story construction, industrial facilities, and logistics infrastructure further fueled this equipment’s rental traction. Cost-conscious developers turned to telescopic handlers to reduce on-site machinery clutter by fulfilling multiple functions with a single rental unit.

Among the regional segments, Abu Dhabi recorded the fastest growth in equipment leasing and rental in 2024. The city’s surge in infrastructure modernization projects, large-scale residential developments, and new industrial zones created consistent demand for short- and mid-term equipment rentals. The preference for flexible equipment usage over ownership became pronounced among project developers, especially in government-driven infrastructure. With a strong pipeline of commercial and utility infrastructure, Abu Dhabi saw high utilization rates across earthmoving and lifting equipment, reinforcing its dominance in regional growth momentum.
