DATAPOINT: NA Mixers, 2023 Production

34,000 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Mixers expected to be produced in the United States, Mexico and Canada in 2023.

Mixers are used by a variety of industries, especially for construction applications, and mix an assortment of materials. Power Systems Research tracks the North American production of two types of mixers: one used to produce asphalt and one for mixing mortar or concrete. Asphalt Mixers/Agitators are used to manufacture asphalt, macadam and other forms of coated road stone, often called “blacktop.”

A Cement/Mortar Mixer is a mechanical mixer that uses rotating paddles attached to a horizontal axle to blend the mix ingredients of mortar or concrete.

This product 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.

Battery/Corded Electric Units: Production of electric units are expected to increase by 23% in 2023 over 2022, climbing 1,300 units to about 6,800 units this year powered by either battery or cords. In 2023, electric units (battery and corded) will be about 2% of total North American Mixer production. PSR

DATAPOINT: NA Dumpers/Tenders, 2020 Production, 1,559 Units

The 1,559 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Dumpers/Tenders to be produced in the U.S. in 2020.

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, Indy Equipment with 10.5%.  

Trends: Production of Dumpers/Tenders in NA increased nearly 5.5% in 2019 over 2018, but production is expected to drop 6% in 2020 from 2019.  The 2019 increase was based on the strong global economy along with the demand for new products in construction and mining related activities. 

The 2020 decline was caused by product saturation in the market and was somewhat related to COVID-19 shutdowns, even though consumers/contractors were still purchasing products. 

Dumper/Tenders, commonly referred to as a Power Buggy, are sought after pieces of equipment, much faster than a conventional wheelbarrow and accelerates job site related activities.  Expect production to increase up to 5% by 2025.    PSR

China Faces Limits on Power and Production

The global energy structure has accelerated the adjustment to green energy, and the investment in traditional energy is insufficient. Under the influence of COVID-19, energy supply and demand are disrupted, exacerbating the contradiction between supply and demand, resulting in global power shortage.

China recovered from the epidemic earlier than many other countries and is now almost the only major manufacturer, so industrial power consumption has increased significantly. Power rationing is mainly to alleviate the power shortage and achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. China is dominated by thermal power generation, and there is a serious shortage of clean energy. There are still big problems in the energy structure.

PSR Analysis: In 2021, China’s electricity demand will grow by more than 10%, which greatly exceeds the previously estimated demand growth of 6% to 7%. At present, the substantial growth of power demand has put great pressure on power supplies. Coal accounts for about 70% of China’s electricity consumption, but the output of coal is far lower than the demand for electricity.
