China’s machinery industry has made a good start in the first two months of 2026, with strong growth in construction machinery exports

In the first two months of 2026, the value-added output of major sectors within China's machinery industry grew year-on-year; production and supply accelerated, while market demand saw steady growth. Exports of construction machinery surged, with significant increases recorded across multiple regions, and high-end, electric models emerging as new highlights in export performance.

According to data from the China Machinery Industry Federation, in the first two months of 2026, my country’s machinery industry showed a good development trend.
The added value of the five major industries involved maintained a year-on-year growth trend.
Among them, the general equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8.9%, the special equipment manufacturing industry increased by 8.8%, and the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 3.4%.
The production and supply of various products has accelerated, market demand has increased steadily, and the machinery industry has achieved a good start.

In terms of exports, in the first two months of this year, the export performance of my country’s construction machinery products was very impressive.
Export volume reached US$10.686 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%.
Among them, the export value in February exceeded US$5.1 billion, exceeding the average monthly export value in 2025.
From the perspective of export regions, the export of construction machinery products to Africa increased by 77%, the export to Oceania increased by 50.6%, and the export to Europe increased by 28.1%.
This fully demonstrates the increasing competitiveness of China’s construction machinery products in the international market.

It is worth mentioning that high-end and electrified models have become new highlights in exports.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the upgrading of market demand, Chinese construction machinery companies have increased their R&D investment in high-end and electrification fields and launched a series of products with advanced technology and high performance.
These products not only meet the international market’s demand for environmentally friendly and efficient equipment, but also enhance the global brand image of Chinese construction machinery.

The good start of China’s machinery industry and the strong growth of construction machinery exports are of great significance in promoting the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry.
On the one hand, as an important part of the manufacturing industry, the development of the machinery industry directly affects the level of the entire manufacturing industry.
On the other hand, the large-scale export of engineering machinery products will help expand the international market and enhance the status of China’s manufacturing industry in the global industrial chain.

In the future, China’s machinery industry is expected to continue to maintain a good development trend.
The company will further increase technological innovation, improve product quality and performance, and continue to expand international market share.
At the same time, the government will also introduce relevant policies to support the development of the machinery industry and promote China’s transformation from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing power.
