MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Need of Construction Equipment in Natural Calamities to Push the Rental Demand
In 2023, the Philippines experienced various natural hazards that affected over 13.7 million individuals, marking a challenging year for the nation. Despite a below-average number of tropical cyclones entering the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR), the year has witnessed heightened southwest monsoon and shear lines, triggering heavy rains and subsequent floods and landslides in various regions.
Following disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods, demand for heavy machinery for debris removal, infrastructure repair, and reconstruction efforts is typically a surge in demand for heavy machinery. This heightened demand often leads to temporary shortages of available equipment in affected areas, resulting in increased rental rates. The consequences of these natural disasters extend beyond immediate humanitarian concerns, impacting various sectors, including the Philippines construction equipment rental market.
Flood Mitigation and Adaptation Projects to Increase the Demand for Rental Equipment
In 2023, the Philippines experienced various episodes of flooding, each with distinct levels of severity and consequences. In January 2023, flooding, landslides, and strong winds affected numerous regions, impacting thousands of individuals due to the convergence of low-pressure areas. In anticipation of future challenges, the government has proposed a budget of USD 3.8 billion for flood mitigation projects in 2024. Additionally, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has allocated USD 0.02 billion in its 2024 budget for flood management infrastructure.
Infrastructure Flagship Projects Nationwide Are Expected to Propel the Philippines Construction Equipment Rental Market
The new Infrastructure Flagship Projects (IFP) list comprises 194 projects, ranging from unfinished initiatives from previous administrations to major priority projects submitted to NEDA for inclusion in the Public Investment Program (PIP) 2023-2028 and the Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Program (TRIP) FY 2024-2026.
Further, the allocation of IFPs varies across government agencies in terms of quantity and expenditure. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) leads with the highest number of IFPs at 71, followed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with 58 and the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) with 28.
Transition to Hydrogen Fuel to Achieve Net-Zero Target
The Philippine Energy Plan 2020-2040 underscores hydrogen’s importance as an alternative fuel for power generation, aiming to diversify fuel sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase renewable energy utilization. Discussions internally focus on classifying hydrogen and establishing national policies to govern its usage. In 2022, the Department of Science and Technology inaugurated the country’s first hydrogen fuel cell research and testing center. This center is essential for developing hydrogen fuel cell technology, which focuses on creating locally sourced prototype fuel cells. The aim is to enhance the accessibility and sustainability of hydrogen technology within the Philippines.
Progressing Toward Net Zero Prompts the Adoption of Electric Construction Machinery
Leading rental companies like Loxam, Kiloutou, Boels Rental, and Sunbelt Rentals are spearheading the adoption of electric machines, placing orders for thousands of battery-powered units, formerly diesel-fueled. This trend mirrors global markets like the US, the UK, and Japan, indicating a similar shift in the Philippines. While the Philippines government has not set plans for net-zero emissions, some construction firms in the Philippines construction equipment rental market are pursuing this goal independently. Co-organized by the Net Zero Carbon Alliance (NZCA) and Eco-Business, an event drew 200 delegates from various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, energy, etc., aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
