Core Viewpoint - The report from Zhongtai Securities indicates a strong performance in the excavator market, with total sales reaching 17,138 units in July 2025, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. Domestic sales accounted for 7,306 units (up 17.2%), while exports reached 9,832 units (up 31.9%), suggesting a robust recovery in both domestic and overseas demand [1]. Domestic Demand - The domestic demand for excavators is showing resilience, supported by both replacement and incremental demand influenced by the timing of funding availability. The government has allocated 4.4 trillion yuan in special bonds for infrastructure projects, which is 500 billion yuan more than the previous year. This funding is expected to facilitate project approvals and stimulate demand in Q3 [2]. - The peak of the previous domestic demand cycle occurred in 2016-2017, with new machine replacements expected to begin in 2024-2025. The combination of new projects and the upcoming replacement cycle is anticipated to drive demand for non-excavator products, such as cranes and concrete machinery, aligning their growth rates with those of excavators [2]. Overseas Demand - The overseas market for excavators is experiencing a significant recovery, with export growth exceeding market expectations. From January to June 2025, China's engineering machinery exports amounted to $27.998 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%. Excavator exports specifically grew by 23.1%, with Indonesia, Russia, and Belgium being the top three markets [3]. - The European market is gradually recovering, with exports to the U.S. showing signs of stabilization after a decline due to tariff policies. In June, excavator exports to the U.S. reached $33.2698 million, a month-on-month increase of 130.8%. The low base effect in mature markets is expected to limit further declines in 2025, providing strong support for leading manufacturers' performance [3].
