And when you are talking about 190,000 kilometers of new road construction currently underway across the globe, the machines doing the actual work, motor graders, have never been in higher demand. The question every fleet manager, contractor, and equipment buyer is quietly asking in 2026 is this: Are the manufacturers actually keeping up<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data suggests it&#8217;s a mixed picture. Over 38,000 units of motor graders were sold globally in 2024, with production expected to exceed 45,000 units by 2026. That&#8217;s real growth. But infrastructure investment is growing faster, and the gaps between where machines are needed and where they&#8217;re actually available are becoming harder to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#The_Infrastructure_Demand_Thats_Driving_Everything\" >The Infrastructure Demand That&#8217;s Driving Everything<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#Which_Manufacturers_Are_Leading_and_Which_Are_Falling_Short\" >Which Manufacturers Are Leading, and Which Are Falling Short?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#Caterpillar\" >Caterpillar\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#Case\" >Case<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#Komatsu\" >Komatsu<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#Are_OEMs_Producing_Enough_and_With_the_Right_Technology\" >Are OEMs Producing Enough, and With the Right Technology?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/are-grader-brands-keeping-pace-with-global-infrastructure-growth\/#1_Are_motor_grader_manufacturers_keeping_up_with_global_infrastructure_demand_in_2026\" >1.

Governments in India, China, and the United States are pouring billions into these programs, while multilateral development banks are financing corridor projects across Africa and Southeast Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The global graders market is projected to grow from USD 4.2 billion in 2025 to USD 6.8 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5.0% over the forecast period. That trajectory is being shaped by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Road construction and highway rehabilitation in North America and Europe<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rural connectivity programs across South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mining access road development in Latin America and Australia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urban expansion and drainage work across Southeast Asia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mega-project activity in the Gulf states and industrial corridors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, paved road penetration remains below 60%, making graders indispensable for keeping transport routes operational. The sheer volume of unaddressed infrastructure needs in these regions creates sustained long-term demand that OEMs cannot afford to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Manufacturers_Are_Leading_and_Which_Are_Falling_Short\"><\/span><b>Which Manufacturers Are Leading, and Which Are Falling Short?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where it gets interesting. ConExpo 2026 told a clear story about which brands are investing seriously in this market. John Deere rolled out new SmartGrade motor graders at ConExpo 2026. Covering its P-Tier models with new automation features, updated displays, and refreshed cabs. Supporting both 2D and 3D solutions through a G5 10.1-inch touchscreen display. John Deere motor graders are now among the most connected machines on any job site, with SmartGrade eliminating the need for external masts and cables, a real-world advantage that contractors notice immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caterpillar\"><\/span><b>Caterpillar\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar moved aggressively, too. Caterpillar continued its rollout of next-generation motor graders at ConExpo 2026. The new 150 and 160 models, both featuring redesigned cabs, improved operator comfort, increased power, and more standard technology. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/brands\/caterpillar\">CAT graders for sale<\/a> <\/strong>now come grade-control-ready out of the factory, which reduces upfront tech cost for buyers. If you&#8217;re evaluating CAT graders for sale today. You are looking at a fundamentally different machine than what was available two years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case\"><\/span><b>Case<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Case also re-entered the 200-plus-horsepower market it had exited a decade ago. Announcing three new, larger motor graders at ConExpo 2026 in the GR series, ranging from 240 to 325 horsepower. That&#8217;s a significant signal. The market is growing, and brands that left segment gaps are now rushing to fill them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Komatsu\"><\/span><b>Komatsu<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Komatsu grader for sale buyers are also seeing strong options. In July 2024, Komatsu Europe International NV launched the GD955-7R motor grader across the African market. Offering superior safety, productivity, and operator comfort, helping the company expand its product portfolio into high-demand emerging regions. For anyone evaluating a Komatsu grader for sale, the GD655-7 and GD955-7 both represent well-rounded, well-supported machines with strong dealer coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side of the competitive map, Chinese manufacturers like XCMG and SANY are aggressively capturing market share in Africa, Southeast Asia, and other developing regions. By offering high-spec machines with Cummins engines and ZF transmissions at prices 20-30% lower than Western counterparts. That price pressure is real, and it&#8217;s reshaping buyer decisions in markets where budget is tight and dealer networks are thin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand why certain brands consistently outperform others in ROI terms across long fleet cycles,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/which-grader-brands-have-delivered-best-roi-over-the-past-5-years\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this analysis of grader brand ROI over five years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is worth reading before any major purchase decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_OEMs_Producing_Enough_and_With_the_Right_Technology\"><\/span><b>Are OEMs Producing Enough, and With the Right Technology?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Production capacity is one thing. Product-market fit is another. Over 70% of new graders now feature advanced telematics and blade control technologies. Automated and semi-autonomous graders have seen a 54% adoption increase in recent years. The technology is clearly moving in the right direction. John Deere motor graders, CAT graders for sale, and the latest Komatsu grader for sale models all ship with either integrated or grade-control-ready automation as standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there are still meaningful gaps. Africa&#8217;s market grows unevenly, with South Africa and North African nations showing the most activity. Limited local manufacturing leads to dependence on imports. With harsh operating conditions pushing demand for rugged models with enhanced cooling systems and dust protection. Many contractors in these markets report that parts availability and dealer responsiveness, not just machine capability, are the real bottlenecks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caterpillar and Volvo target North America and Europe with premium-priced advanced graders. While Chinese brands cater to price-driven markets with conventional models retrofitted with basic telematics. Meaning technology adoption remains uneven, shaped by local cost structures and regulatory pressures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a detailed look at how specific brands are structuring their support for infrastructure growth at scale,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/how-major-motor-grader-brands-can-support-infrastructure-growth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this breakdown of how major motor grader brands support infrastructure expansion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a useful reference. And if the technology picture matters to your buying decision,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/ranking-the-top-motor-grader-brands-by-their-invisible-tech\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this ranking of motor grader brands by their invisible tech<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gives a sharper look at which OEMs are genuinely leading in embedded innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The honest answer to the headline question is that leading OEMs, Caterpillar, John Deere, and Komatsu, especially, are moving fast and investing heavily. But the global infrastructure build-out is accelerating faster in regions where dealer networks, parts support, and financing options haven&#8217;t kept pace. That gap is real. It&#8217;s exactly why used equipment demand from trusted brands remains strong across export markets in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to put a reliable, road-proven grader to work on your next project?
