On Dec 5, Global Info Research released “Global Tunnel Boring Machine Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032″. This report includes an overview of the development of the Tunnel Boring Machine industry chain, the market status of Tunnel Boring Machine Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Tunnel Boring Machine.
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Tunnel Boring Machine market size was valued at US$ 4662 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata. They may also be used for micro tunneling. In Japan and China, the machines used for soil are called shield tunneling machines and machines used for hard rock are called tunnel boring machine. But in Europe and USA, they are called the same name tunnel boring machine. The research we did include all of them.
In 2024, global tunnel boring machine (TBM) sales volume reached approximately 800 units, with an average global market price of around US$ 5.50 million per unit.
The major players in global Tunnel Boring Machine market include Herrenknecht, CRGIC, CRCHI, etc. The top 3 players occupy about 40% shares of the global market.
The tunnel boring machine (TBM) market presents significant long-term growth potential, as these massive excavation systems—capable of boring through soil, rock, and mixed ground conditions with precision while simultaneously installing tunnel linings—are increasingly indispensable for global infrastructure development, driven by rapid urbanization, population growth, and the rising need for sustainable underground transportation, utility, and water management solutions; governments and private investors worldwide are prioritizing metro rail expansions, high-speed rail projects, cross-border tunnels, underground highways, and urban utility corridors to reduce congestion, cut emissions, and improve connectivity, with Asia-Pacific leading demand due to mega-projects in China, India, and Southeast Asia, while Europe and North America continue to invest heavily in modernizing transit networks, sewage systems, and hydroelectric projects; technological innovations such as slurry TBMs, Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) machines, dual-mode TBMs, and large-diameter mega-borers are enhancing adaptability to diverse geological conditions, minimizing risks, and improving efficiency, while real-time monitoring, automation, and AI-driven control systems are increasing accuracy, safety, and productivity; TBMs also support environmental sustainability by reducing surface disruption compared to conventional drilling and blasting, aligning with stricter regulatory frameworks and green infrastructure goals; the energy sector further fuels demand, as TBMs are deployed in hydropower projects, underground power plants, and oil & gas pipelines; although high capital investment, complex maintenance, and project-specific customization remain barriers, rising government infrastructure budgets, availability of financing models such as PPP (Public-Private Partnerships), and a growing emphasis on long-term cost efficiency make TBMs a preferred choice; aftermarket opportunities in refurbishment, spare parts, and leasing models also strengthen market sustainability, ensuring continuous demand across both developed economies with aging infrastructure and emerging markets undertaking ambitious new projects, firmly positioning TBMs as critical enablers of modern underground construction worldwide.
