Show All Description Contents, Table & Figures List FAQs Pricing Related Content
Construction, agriculture and mining CAM vehicles are one business now. The new 180 page IDTechEx report, "Electric Vehicles in Construction, Agriculture and Mining 2019-2029" explains how they all employ mobile robots, drones and other hybrid and pure electric vehicles. Understand why only 15% of CAM vehicles sold today are EVs but it will be the majority sold in 2029. Learn how massive zero emission electricity for those vehicles and total construction, agriculture and mining operations will increasingly be produced off grid, where it is needed and using what new technology.
 
The CAM vehicle business will grow more than six-fold in value by 2029 grabbing records for both the highest volume EVs of all types and the highest unit value. Which manufacturers are innovating at a frenetic pace while some of the giants are sleeping through the future? Which technologies win? Which sectors go straight to pure electric and which need the hybrid interim stage? With even 300kW mining trucks working well as pure electric what is the place for fuel cells? It is all in the unique new IDTechEx report, "Electric Vehicles in Construction, Agriculture and Mining 2019-2029". The detail is there based on new interviews, conference attendance and intensive travel by multi-lingual PhD level IDTechEx analysts. 19 CAM vehicle categories are forecasted in number, unit price and value market 2019-2029 and over 30 drill down reports are available that go even further into subsets of this report.
 
The Executive Summary and Conclusions is sufficient in itself for those in a hurry. Densely packed new infograms and graphs explain the many forces leading to electrification, the major players and timelines. Full forecasts and pie charts of market share are here. See pictures of the construction site, farm and mine of the future including the new ocean floor mining. Grasp the technical progress to electric drive and autonomy. Technology is carefully explained from the old "electric drive" to full hybrid, pure electric and all the subdivisions. Which companies span all three CAM sectors? See appraisal of leaders including the top five in agriculture, the biggest sector.
 
The Introduction describes a real mine going all electric for the first time, issues driving the changes in agriculture, the emissions issues and the demographics driving robotics introduction and ultra precision agriculture. See many examples of CAM EVs past and mainly present and how Brexit is driving the British to robot farming, all with many examples and statistics. Powertrain trends end this chapter. Chapter 3 Construction considers 22 EVs from 18 manufacturers and the background statistics. Chapter 4 Agriculture has detailed comparison charts of maturity of many activities and market readiness and technology progression then zooming in on 10 suppliers and their vehicles. Chapter 5 Mining addresses the many participants, vehicle technologies, market maturity and deployment here. It follows with ten manufacturers and their products.
 
Chapter 6 on key enabling technologies is unusually penetrating, going beyond battery appraisal and profiles of three CAM battery suppliers to why supercapacitors are increasingly popular in CAM vehicles. Grasp the increasing importance of power electronics, multi-functional hybrid powertrains and motors with three significant CAM motor manufacturers profiled. There are more pictures than pages in this report, with many of them new and revealing. IDTechEx report, "Electric Vehicles in Construction, Agriculture and Mining 2019-2029" is the only comprehensive, up-to-date report full of new statistics and new insights about this rapidly growing industry: facts-based analysis.

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
  • Historic data, based on our own databases of products, companies' sales data, information from associations, company reports and validation of our prior market figures with companies in the industry.
  • Current and announced manufacturing capacities
  • Company production targets
  • Direct input from companies as we interview them as to their growth expectations, moderated by our analysts
  • Planned or active government incentives and regulations
  • Assessment of the capabilities and price of the technology based on our benchmarking over the forecast period, versus that of competitive solutions
  • Teardown data (e.g. to assess volume of materials used)
  • From a top-down view: the total addressable market
  • Forecasts can be based on an s-curve methodology where appropriate, taking into account the above factors
  • Key assumptions and discussion of what can impact the forecast are covered in the report.

How can I be confident about the quality of work in IDTechEx reports?

Based on our technical analysts and their research methodology, for over 25 years our work has regularly received superb feedback from our global clients. Our research business has grown year-on-year.
 
Recent customer feedback includes:

What differentiates IDTechEx reports?

Our team of in-house technical analysts immerse themselves in industries over many years, building deep expertise and engaging directly with key industry players to uncover hard-to-find insights. We appraise technologies in the landscape of competitive solutions and then assess their market demand based on voice-of-the-customer feedback, all from an impartial point of view. This approach delivers exceptional value to our customers—providing high-quality independent content while saving customers time, resources, and money.

Why should we pick IDTechEx research over AI research?

A crucial value of IDTechEx research is that it provides information, assessments and forecasts based on interviews with key people in the industry, assessed by technical experts. AI is trained only on content publicly available on the web, which may not be reliable, in depth, nor contain the latest insights based on the experience of those actively involved in a technology or industry, despite the confident prose.

How can I justify the ROI of this report?

Consider the cost of the IDTechEx report versus the time and resources required to gather the same quality of insights yourself. IDTechEx analysts have built up an extensive contact network over many years; we invest in attending key events and interviewing companies around the world; and our analysts are trained in appraising technologies and markets.
 
Each report provides an independent, expert-led technical and market appraisal, giving you access to actionable information immediately, rather than you having to spend months or years on your own market research.

Can I speak to analysts about the report content?

All report purchases include up to 30 minutes of telephone time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.

What is the difference between a report and subscription?

A subscription from IDTechEx can include more reports, access to an online information platform with continuously updated information from our analysts, and access to analysts directly.
