In recent years, the global infrastructure market has continued torecover, with over 60 countries introducing new emission regulationsfor non-road machinery. Infrastructure construction in Belt and RoadInitiative participating countries has accelerated, and mega-projectsin Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa (such as Indonesia'snew capital city and Saudi Arabia's NEOM) have released concentrateddemand, bringing unprecedented development opportunities to China'sconstruction machinery foreign trade. Recently, the continuedbreakthroughs of leading Chinese construction machinery companiessuch as XCMG, Sany, Zoomlion, and LiuGong in high-end markets likeNorth America and Europe have further demonstrated the globalcompetitiveness of Chinese construction machinery and provided amplespace for business expansion for construction machinery foreign tradecompanies.
According to statistics, China's construction machinery exportsreached US$60.169 billion in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 13.8%,and are expected to exceed US$60 billion in 2026, indicating acontinued positive export trend. Among these exports, electricproducts accounted for 20%, intelligent equipment sales accounted forover 10%, and overseas revenue is expected to account for 45%.China's construction machinery foreign trade is transforming from"scale growth" to "quality improvement," and from"cost-effectiveness advantage" to "technologicaladvantage," gradually gaining a dominant position in the globalmarket.
The release of global infrastructure dividends is the core drivingforce behind the growth of China's construction machinery foreigntrade. In Southeast Asia, the construction of Indonesia's new capitalrequires tens of thousands of excavators, while urbanization incountries like Vietnam and Thailand is driving continued growth indemand for small and medium-sized excavators and loaders. ASEANtariff preferences (FORM E enjoys 5%) have facilitated the export ofChinese construction machinery. In the Middle East, large-scaleinfrastructure and mining projects in countries like Saudi Arabia andQatar are creating strong demand for ultra-large tower cranes andlifting equipment. In Africa, mine expansion in countries like SouthAfrica and the Democratic Republic of Congo is driving demand forlarge excavators and mining dump trucks; from January to October2025, China's construction machinery exports to Africa increased by60% year-on-year. In high-end markets such as North America andEurope, stringent emission and safety certifications mean thatChinese companies' electrified and intelligent products preciselymeet local needs, gradually achieving breakthroughs in the high-endmarket.
The continued efforts of Chinese construction machinery companieshave provided a solid guarantee for the growth of foreign trade. Inrecent years, Chinese construction machinery companies havecontinuously increased their R&D investment and promoted productupgrades, achieving remarkable results in electrification,intelligentization, and high-end technologies. Simultaneously, theyhave accelerated their global expansion, improved their localizedservice systems, effectively circumvented trade barriers, andenhanced their market competitiveness. For example, XCMG launched itsNorth American Pro series of localized products, XingbangIntelligent's Mexican factory went into operation, Zoomlion deepenedits North American localization strategy, Sany Group's AI intelligentproducts secured huge overseas orders, and LiuGong's electrifiedproducts cover more than 60 countries worldwide. These achievementsfully demonstrate the strength of China's construction machineryindustry and lay a solid foundation for the expansion of foreigntrade.
Currently, China's construction machinery foreign trade presents apattern of "simultaneous increases in volume and price +technological transformation + regional differentiation," withits core advantages becoming increasingly prominent. First, China'sfirst-mover advantage in electrification is significant. Electricconstruction machinery products account for approximately 70% of theglobal market, with operating costs 70% lower than fuel-poweredequipment. They are suitable for closed environments such as ports,mines, and municipal projects, aligning with global "dual-carbon"goals. Second, the self-sufficiency rate of core components isincreasing. A "chain leader + supporting component" clusteris expanding overseas, with local R&D, production, and componentsupply chains implemented in Mexico, Poland, and other locations,circumventing trade barriers and reducing production costs. Third,the service-oriented transformation is accelerating. LiuGong hasestablished five regional service centers in Southeast Asia, and Sanyhas launched a "trade-in" service in Africa, making theaftermarket (maintenance, parts, and used equipment) a profit growthpoint. Fourth, the entire industry chain is being exported, fromsingle-machine exports to bundled packages of "technology +products + services + finance." Zoomlion's overseas factoriescover all product categories, and a combination of direct sales andagency channels improves channel efficiency.
Of course, China's construction machinery foreign trade also facessome challenges, such as stringent anti-dumping measures in Europeand the US, stringent technical certifications (CE/UL), complex localregulations in emerging markets, price reductions by Japanese andKorean brands to maintain market share, reliance on imported corecomponents, and insufficient overseas service networks. Faced withthese challenges, Chinese construction machinery companies haveproactively responded by proactively establishing overseas productioncapacity, forming joint ventures with local companies, buildingcertification teams to align with international standards,differentiating their market positioning, increasing theself-sufficiency rate of core components, and improving overseasservice networks. These measures have effectively mitigated variousrisks and driven the sustained growth of foreign trade.
