Core Viewpoint - The Chinese construction machinery industry has achieved significant export growth during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, with a 1.5 times increase in exports, showcasing its product, research, and manufacturing capabilities [1][2]. Export Growth - From 2021 to 2024, the export value of construction machinery products is expected to grow rapidly for four consecutive years, with a projected export value of $52.859 billion in 2024, marking an 8.87% year-on-year increase [2]. - In 2020, the overall export value of China's construction machinery was $21 billion, indicating a growth of 1.5 times over four years [2]. Global Market Presence - Asia accounts for 43% of the export destinations, followed by Europe at 20%, Africa at 13.5%, and South America at approximately 11% [4]. - Countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative represent nearly 50% of total exports, highlighting their importance as key markets [4]. Competitive Landscape - In the Middle East, Chinese companies captured 40% to 50% of new orders in a highly competitive market dominated by European and American firms [4]. - The overseas revenue share of A-share listed construction machinery companies increased from 11.38% in 2020 to 47.48% in 2024, with leading companies like SANY and Zoomlion deriving over half of their revenue from international operations [5]. Technological Advancements - Chinese construction machinery companies have developed a competitive edge through years of investment in electrification and intelligent technology [6]. - In 2024, the penetration rates for electric lifting platforms and forklifts are expected to reach 92.5% and 73.6%, respectively [7]. Localization Strategy - The industry is shifting from large-scale acquisitions to establishing independent production capacities overseas, reflecting a transition from "going out" to "going in" [10]. - SANY's "lighthouse factory" in Indonesia began operations in 2020, with plans for a second phase investment of $150 million, aiming for an annual output value of 5 billion yuan [10]. Future Outlook - The construction machinery sector is poised for continued growth, driven by increasing demand in regions with rich mineral resources and strong infrastructure needs, particularly in Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East [5][10].
