Additionally, the manufacturing sector benefits from automation and integration solutions integrated with machine control systems. Companies are introducing machine control solutions to provide accuracy and precision in control systems. For instance, in November 2021, Topcon Positioning Group announced the launch of its MC-Max machine control solution. Based on its MC-X machine control platform and backed by Sitelink3D—the company's real-time, cloud-based data management ecosystem—MC-Max is a scalable solution for mixed-fleet heavy equipment environments. It is designed to adapt to owners' machine control and data integration needs as their fleets and workflows expand. MC-Max increases processing power, speed, accuracy, versatility, and reliability and can be installed on a full range of dozers and excavators using the same basic modular components. Modern, redesigned user and product interfaces were developed based on real-world applications and customer feedback and provide a simplified and immersive user experience that allows operators to learn the system easily. Thus, the rising need for accuracy and precision in control systems across these industries is anticipated to create opportunities for the US machine control system market growth during the forecast period.

The US machine control system market trends include the growing adoption of machine control systems in highway construction projects, which plays a crucial role in transforming the landscape of the US machine control system market. Machine control systems enable precise control and guidance of heavy machinery, leading to improved efficiency and cost reduction. The need for accuracy and precision in tasks such as grading, excavation, and paving drives the demand for machine control systems in highway construction. The adoption of machine control systems in highway construction projects offers several benefits. These systems enhance productivity by ensuring accurate and efficient construction processes. They also minimize rework and material waste, leading to faster project completion. The use of 3D capabilities in machine control systems helps identify potential issues and address them promptly, reducing delays in production.

Furthermore, machine control systems enable real-time monitoring of a project’s progress and accumulate accurate reports on productivity. This data can be used to synchronize with other functions within a project and associated equipment, streamlining the construction process and avoiding delays. Moreover, The Federal Highway Administration has assigned a budget of US$ 61 billion for the fiscal year 2024. This allocation is dedicated to supporting 12 formula programs that aim to facilitate investments in vital infrastructure projects. These programs primarily focus on the development and enhancement of roads, bridges, and tunnels, as well as initiatives related to carbon-emission reduction and safety improvements. Thus, the growing adoption of machine control systems in highway construction projects driven by the need for accuracy, efficiency, and improved project outcomes is projected to fuel the US machine control system market growth in the coming years.

Topcon Corp, Trimble Inc, Hemisphere GNSS Inc, Komatsu, Schneider Electric SE, MOBA MOBILE AUTOMATION AG, Leica Geosystems AG, ANDRITZ, M-Tech Control Corp, and AB Volvo are among the prominent players profiled in the US machine control system market report. In addition, several other players have been studied and analyzed during the study to get a holistic view of the market and its ecosystem. The US machine control system market report provides detailed market insights, which help the key players strategize their growth.

The "US machine control system market analysis” has been carried out by considering the following segments: type, equipment, industry, view type, and type of delivery. In terms of type, the market is segmented into total stations, GNSS, laser scanners, airborne systems, GIS collectors, and others. Based on equipment, the market is segmented into excavators, graders, loaders, dozers, scrappers, paving systems, and others. In terms of industry, the market is categorized into infrastructure, commercial, residential, and industrial. Based on view type, the market is bifurcated into 2D and 3D. In terms of type of delivery, the market is bifurcated into retrofit and OEM build.

The GNSS segment held the largest US machine control system market share in 2022 and is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. GNSS plays a crucial role in providing precise position and elevation references on job sites. The GNSS signals received by antennas on the machines are compared to a digital terrain model, enabling the machines to be controlled more accurately. This allows for efficient earthmoving operations, such as grading and leveling, by guiding the cutting-edge equipment to the desired elevation and position. With the GNSS option, contractors effortlessly incorporate their small equipment into fleets that are already equipped with GNSS technology. Thus, several players are launching the GNSS type of machine control system, fueling the GNSS segment the US machine control system market share. For instance, in March 2023, Topcon Positioning Systems launched a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) option for its MC-Mobile compact machine control solution. With this extension, owners of mini excavators, skid steers, and compact track loaders (CTL) are likely to receive access to the widest selection of machine control options available.

A few of the key market players are launching advanced and compact attachments. For instance, in January 2023, Topcon Positioning Systems announced the launch of 2D-MC, an automatic grade control solution for compact track loaders. 2D-MC is a low-cost 2D machine control system designed to be installed directly onto selected grading attachments. The new 2D-MC is suitable for a wide range of operations, including sidewalk grading, slope work, drain rock and road base replacement, sports fields, parking lots, landscaping, indoor work, flat pads, and concrete site prep. Further, in November 2021, Bobcat announced the launch of a new MaxControl Remote Control system to control Bobcat compact loaders remotely via an app using an iPad or iPhone. Thus, the growing focus on the development of compact and portable attachments is anticipated to shape the growth prospects for the US machine control system market during the forecast period.
