Market Intelligence for Smarter Decisions
The European construction industry faced significant challenges in 2024, from rising interest rates and increasing building costs to market saturation. However, signs of recovery are emerging for 2025, as many companies have secured building permits.

The eBook explores key metrics such as median prices, average age and usage, top buyer locations, and the most popular brands by volume, offering valuable insights into recent market trends and shifts, with key takeaways:
- Mini Excavators Lead Sales: Mini excavators emerged as the top-selling category in Ritchie Bros. European auctions, with a 5% rise in median price, despite a decline in total sales.
- Rising Equipment Supply: Increased availability of equipment such as telescopic handlers (+36%), skid steer loaders (+35%), and boom lifts (+21%) in 2024, providing more options for buyers in the used market.
