Core Viewpoint - The Chinese engineering machinery industry is experiencing a resurgence in growth driven by high-end equipment manufacturing upgrades and a global infrastructure demand recovery, yet it struggles to shed the label of being "constrained by industry cycles" in the capital market [1][3]. Group 1: Global Expansion - The industry needs to build new competitive advantages globally through "going abroad" to reduce "domestic reliance." Leading Chinese engineering machinery companies are already establishing new growth areas globally. For instance, in the first half of 2025, SANY Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. achieved overseas sales revenue of 26.302 billion yuan, accounting for 60.26% of its main business revenue. Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd. reported that overseas revenue accounted for 57.36% of total revenue in the first three quarters, with a fully covered product range from overseas manufacturing bases and an initial European localized supply chain [1][2]. Group 2: Technological Innovation - The industry should leverage smart innovation to reshape the industrial value chain and address the traditional "efficiency bottleneck." For example, XCMG Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.'s unmanned mining trucks can achieve operational efficiency of up to 120%, enabling safe, efficient, and reliable production in complex mining conditions 24/7. Guangxi Liugong Machinery Co., Ltd. has successfully operated intelligent factories for loaders and excavators, with a 30% increase in automation rates, a 7% reduction in manufacturing costs, a 30% improvement in product reliability, and a manufacturing cycle shortened by over 50% [2]. Group 3: Deep Earth Economy - The industry must seize opportunities in the deep earth economy to expand growth in "scene extension." As the deep earth economy becomes a national strategy, engineering machinery companies should actively engage with deep earth resource development needs. For instance, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. developed the world's first 1,000-meter vertical hard rock full-face tunneling machine, capable of tunneling at depths exceeding 1,000 meters. Hunan Wuxin Tunnel Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.'s dual-arm computer-controlled rock drilling rig is a powerful tool for tackling large-section tunneling challenges. These developments provide essential equipment support for resource extraction from deep within the Earth, opening a new blue ocean for the engineering machinery industry [2]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The transformation logic of the engineering machinery industry is clear, from expanding overseas markets to enhancing efficiency through technological innovation and forward-looking deep earth scene layouts. In the future, the Chinese engineering machinery industry is expected to break free from the constraints of industry cycles and completely shed the label of being "constrained by industry cycles" in the capital market [3].
