1,620 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Dumpers/Tenders to be produced in North America during 2022.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With 62.5% of total units produced, Country Home Products leads in production of Dumpers/Tenders in North America. In second position is Allen Engineering with 19.5%; third, is Indy Equipment with 10.5%.
Trends: Dumper/Tenders, commonly referred to as the Power Buggy, are sought after pieces of equipment because they are much faster than a conventional wheelbarrow and they accelerate job site related activities.
In 2021, production of Dumpers/Tenders in North America increased 7% to 1,542 units. Expect production to increase another 5% this year. The increase is attributed to the global economy along with the demand for new products for construction and mining related activities.
The decline in 2020 was attributed to product saturation in the market and also was somewhat related to COVID-19 shutdowns, even though consumers/contractors were still purchasing products.
At this time, many manufacturers are having longer production lead times due to lack of parts from suppliers and staffing shortages. Expect production to increase an additional 5% by 2025. PSR
