China’s excavator sales surged 36.2% year-on-year in May 2026

2026年5月,中国挖掘机主要制造企业销售情况良好,国内外销量同比均大幅增长。据统计,各类挖掘机销售总量同比增长36.2%,国内和出口销量都呈现出强劲的上升态势。

In 2026, China’s construction machinery industry will continue to show vigorous development vitality.
According to relevant statistics, in May, domestic and foreign sales of excavators increased by more than 30% year-on-year.
Statistics from the China Construction Machinery Industry Association show that in May 2026, major excavator manufacturers sold 24,794 excavators of various types, a year-on-year increase of 36.2%.

Judging from specific sales data, the domestic market performed well.
Domestic sales in May reached 11,628 units, a year-on-year increase of 38.6%.
This growth reflects the still strong demand for excavators in domestic infrastructure construction, real estate development and other fields.
With the advancement of a series of major national projects, excavators play an important role in earthworks, mining and other aspects, providing strong support for the stable development of the domestic economy.

In the international market, export performance is equally impressive.
Exports in May were 13,166 units, a year-on-year increase of 34.2%.
Chinese excavators have won wide recognition in the international market with their advanced technology, reliable quality and reasonable prices.
More and more countries and regions choose Chinese excavators, which not only enhances the international influence of China’s construction machinery industry, but also lays a solid foundation for Chinese products to go global.

Reviewing the recent development trends of the construction machinery industry, the export situation of China’s construction machinery is very good.
Previously, there was news that China’s overseas demand for photovoltaics continued to rise, with export volume increasing by 267%, and that the export volume and price of tungsten hexafluoride, a “new outlet” for semiconductor materials, increased.
At the same time, my country’s industrial robot exports have also surged by 90%, and the window for resonance in the robot industry is approaching.

In the excavator market, there has also been a phenomenon of both volume and price rising.
The three leading excavators collectively announced price increases. Although the construction machinery ETF China (515970) fluctuated and adjusted, its constituent stock Furui Special Equipment rose by more than 4%.
All these show that China’s construction machinery industry is in a stage of rapid development and is expected to continue to maintain a good development trend in the future and promote more high-quality Chinese products to the world.
