Overview

Road & Paving Equipment covers asphalt pavers, compactors, milling machines, and road-construction and maintenance equipment. It is led by road-equipment majors (Caterpillar, Wirtgen/John Deere, Volvo CE, Roadtec/Astec) serving paving contractors and departments of transportation.

Demand is driven by road construction and maintenance and is a direct beneficiary of federal infrastructure and highway funding, with electrification and intelligent-compaction technology emerging. It is a consolidated niche within construction equipment, with aftermarket parts and service the recurring-revenue layer.
