With 37.1 percent, the hybrid category is approaching parity with the plant hire category. Specialists are an important market segment, particularly for welfare equipment, ancillary equipment, and cranes. This accounts for 22.2% of the market.

Infrastructure improvement projects in rural areas of the country, such as the refurbishment of commercial buildings, railway stations, and airports, the repair of runways, and the extension of roadways and bridges, are fueling the strong demand for the United Kingdom (U.K) construction equipment rental industry. Also, the rental business is experiencing increased demand as a result of rising equipment costs, increased economic insecurity, a cash crisis, technical advancements, and major infrastructural construction.

Rental companies are heavily investing in technologically innovative and environmentally friendly construction equipment in order to expand their fleet sizes and successfully meet their clients' increasing expectations.

The UK has a GDP of 3.19 trillion USD in 2021, an inflation rate of 2.5 per cent, and a per capita income of USD 47,334.4.

The Elizabeth Line, formerly known as Crossrail, is one of the largest train infrastructure projects in Europe. It connects the Great Western Main Line and the Great Eastern Main Line, two significant railway lines that terminate in London, across a distance of 73 miles. The Elizabeth line travels eastward through Shenfield and Abbey Wood from Reading to Heathrow in the west. In total, there are 41 stations, 10 of which were newly constructed for the central London segment. This are the government projects which will boost the market of construction equipment rental in the foreseeable future. Covid-19 Impact The spread of COVID-19 contributed to the decline of the United Kingdom (U.K) Construction Equipment rental sector as a result of disruptions in the supply chain and production discontinuity.
