Used construction equipment is in demand from local contractors and developers seeking affordable machinery for infrastructure and real estate projects. Popular equipment includes excavators, loaders, and concrete mixers. Imports, auctions, and leasing arrangements help sustain the market.
Driven by rising infrastructure projects and real estate development, the used construction equipment market in the Philippines is witnessing solid growth. Small contractors and construction firms prefer purchasing used machinery like excavators, loaders, and cranes due to significant cost savings. Imports from Japan, the U.S., and China dominate the supply side. The trend is also influenced by a growing network of digital platforms facilitating equipment resale, although buyers remain cautious about maintenance history and after-sales support.
This market is limited by inconsistent product quality, lack of standardized resale regulations, and minimal inspection frameworks. Imported used equipment faces high duties, and local operators often struggle with maintenance due to obsolete parts. Financing for second-hand machinery also remains scarce.
Demand for used construction machinery is on the rise due to infrastructure development and budget-conscious small contractors. Investors can establish import and resale businesses for refurbished equipment, or provide rental and financing services. Local servicing hubs for parts and repairs add further revenue potential.
Import and resale of used construction equipment are regulated by EO 156, with specific conditions and permits required for heavy equipment. Imports must pass inspection and certification under BOC and be registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP). Safety inspections and emissions compliance, especially for diesel-powered machinery, are mandatory. Programs under the Build Build Build initiative encourage investment in newer, more efficient construction equipment.
