Moving forward, in the construction sector, the company sees positive momentum in 2023 for North America.
Caterpillar expects nonresidential construction in North America to grow due to the positive impact of government-related infrastructure investments, a healthy backlog and rental replacement.
Residential construction continues to moderate due to tightening financial conditions, but remains at a healthy level.
Financial result of Caterpillar 
In Asia-Pacific excluding China, the company projects growth due to government infrastructure spending and favorable commodity prices.
The company’s projections see continued weakness in China in the 10-ton-plus excavator sector, which it expects to remain below 2022 levels due to low construction activity.
In Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States, activity is expected to remain more or less stable relative to 2022 due to good order backlogs and strong construction demand in the Middle East, offset by uncertain economic conditions in Europe.
In Latin America, construction activity will remain flat or slightly below the good performance of 2022.
Caterpillar products and services are sold worldwide into a variety of highly competitive markets.
