In 2026, the construction machinery industry will continue to show strong development momentum.
In May, domestic and foreign sales of excavators increased by more than 30% year-on-year. This data highlights the high prosperity of the industry.
According to statistics from the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, in May 2026, major excavator manufacturing companies sold 24,794 excavators of various types, a year-on-year increase of 36.2%.
This growth is impressive and reflects strong market demand for excavators.
From the perspective of sales area, both the domestic market and the international market are showing a good development trend.
Among them, domestic sales were 11,628 units, a year-on-year increase of 38.6%, which shows that the demand for excavators in domestic infrastructure construction, real estate development and other fields continues to increase.
The stable development of the domestic economy and the continuous advancement of many large-scale engineering projects have provided a broad space for the excavator market.
At the same time, exports also performed well, exporting 13,166 units, a year-on-year increase of 34.2%.
This shows that China’s excavator products are highly competitive in the international market and have been recognized by international customers.
With the continuous advancement of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, Chinese construction machinery companies are actively expanding overseas markets. As an important construction machinery equipment, excavators have continued to expand their share in the international market.
In addition to the substantial increase in excavator sales, there are also new developments in the crane market, and cranes have announced price increases.
This move may be related to factors such as rising raw material prices and strong market demand.
Fluctuations in raw material prices have had a certain impact on the production costs of construction machinery companies. In order to ensure the company’s profits and sustainable development, crane companies have chosen to adjust prices.
The high prosperity of the construction machinery industry is of great significance for Chinese products to go global.
China’s construction machinery products have gradually established a good brand image in the international market with their high quality, high performance and reasonable prices.
With the continuous innovation of technology and the continuous upgrading of products, Chinese construction machinery products will occupy a more important position in the global market.
In the future, we have reason to believe that China’s construction machinery products will continue to achieve excellent results in domestic and foreign markets and make greater contributions to China’s economic development and global infrastructure construction.
