Rental rates in the second quarter of 2025 continued to reflect a market finding its balance. While some categories dipped slightly, others showed steady gains, highlighting selective growth areas within an industry still marked by uncertainty—and opportunity.
According to Scott Hazelton, Managing Director at S&P Global, “We have revenue up in 2025 compared to last year… growth in both construction and industrial equipment [CIE] and general tool.”1 While CIE growth has been slightly softer than general tool, it’s still a positive signal for the broader rental ecosystem.
