Hydrogen-Powered Machines Set to Soar- HD Hyundai, Kobelco, Sumitomo Lead

Malaysia is advancing toward carbon neutrality by 2050, prompting a transformative shift in its energy sector. Hydrogen energy is emerging as a key alternative for electricity generation, energy system enhancement, and future industrial development. Aligned with its Net Zero mission, the Malaysian government aims to produce two million tonnes of clean hydrogen annually by 2030, emphasizing hydrogen’s safety, efficiency, and low environmental impact. This push is driving construction equipment manufacturers to develop hydrogen, electric, and hybrid machinery.

Notable innovations include HD Hyundai’s HW155H hydrogen fuel cell-powered wheeled excavator (2025), Kobelco’s fuel cell electric excavator prototype (2023), and Sumitomo Construction Machinery’s 20-ton hydrogen engine hydraulic excavator demonstration (2025), showcasing hydrogen’s viability for heavy construction projects. As hydrogen adoption grows, the market for green construction equipment is set to expand rapidly, supported by sustainability goals and regulatory incentives.

 

Can Growth Survive Inflation and Compliance Pressures?

Malaysia construction industry is navigating a challenging landscape, shaped by rising environmental compliance costs, escalating land prices, and persistent inflationary pressures. Targeted subsidies and the scarcity of prime land in urban hubs are driving project costs higher, while the sector’s dependence on imported construction equipment leaves it vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions and trade tensions.

Deeply integrated into global trade, exporting key products such as E&E components, machinery, medical instruments, and rubber, Malaysia is directly impacted by geopolitical shifts that can influence supply and pricing. Currency fluctuations, particularly a weaker ringgit, further increase procurement costs, eroding margins and straining project budgets. While these factors could weigh on the Malaysia construction equipment market, the outlook remains promising. The sector is projected for strong growth, under national development plans and rising demand for modern, efficient equipment.

 

Malaysia Excavators Market on Track for 6.12% CAGR (2024-2030)

Earthmoving equipment dominated the Malaysia construction equipment market in 2024, with excavators holding the largest share. This growth is fueled by the country’s strong push for public infrastructure development, supported by major projects such as the MRT3 Circle Line, Pan Borneo Highway, and large-scale flood mitigation initiatives. These projects are not only improving connectivity and climate resilience but also attracting significant foreign direct investment.

The excavator market in Malaysia is set for sustained growth at a CAGR of 6.12%. Demand is being driven by ongoing railway expansion plans, increasing government initiatives in building projects, and rising private investment, particularly in residential and high-rise mixed-use developments in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Urbanization trends, demographic shifts, and regional migration are further strengthening the property sector’s outlook.
