A few days ago, the “Top 50 Global Mining Equipment Manufacturers in 2025” list was released at the T50 Summit Asia Forum held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In this high-profile list, 13 Chinese companies, including Sany Heavy Industry and Zoomlion, are honored to be on the list, demonstrating the strong global competitiveness of Chinese mining equipment manufacturing companies.
Among them, Sany Heavy Industry performed well and successfully entered the top 20, ranking 13th, while Zoomlion ranked 38th.
Among the “Top 50 Global Mining Equipment Manufacturers in 2025” announced this time, 14 companies are from traditional mining engineering machinery manufacturers, and the remaining companies on the list are leaders in their respective segments.
From a country perspective, the top 50 come from 15 countries, and Chinese companies have the largest number of companies on the list, reaching 13.
In terms of country sales, U.S. companies have the highest country sales, totaling $16.987 billion, accounting for 22.16%; Japanese companies follow closely, with country sales of $15.363 billion, accounting for 20.04%; Chinese companies rank third, with country sales of $14.723 billion, accounting for 19.21%.
As an important subdivision of traditional engineering machinery, mining equipment’s use of new energy sources has become a development trend in the global mining industry, driving green and low-carbon transformation and efficient and intelligent development.
Today, mines in the new era are no longer synonymous with dust and environmental damage. Digitalization and intelligence have become important means to ensure the sustainable development of mineral resources and realize the green and low-carbon transformation and development of the mining industry.
As the leader in domestic construction machinery, Sany Heavy Industry has always attached great importance to the development and green environmental protection of mining machinery.
Its digital intelligent solution for open-pit mining and stripping is based on intelligent products such as remote-controlled excavators and mining loaders, allowing operators to stay away from the front line of operations, effectively ensuring production safety.
In addition, relying on digital intelligence and automated mine management systems, this solution optimizes resource allocation, path planning and operation scheduling, further improving overall operation efficiency.
Zoomlion has a long and profound mining gene, which can be traced back to the design office of the General Administration of Machinery Construction of the Ministry of Construction and Engineering established in 1956. It is the earliest scientific research unit in my country’s construction machinery and mining machinery industry.
In recent years, Zoomlion has actively promoted unmanned equipment and established a new benchmark for the green and smart mining industry.
In particular, the industry’s only 100-ton unmanned mining wide-body dump truck launched not long ago can meet the diverse needs of mining operations. It can be equipped with a self-developed and industry-proven intelligent driving system, which can completely replace the full-process operation of manned driving and meet the needs of efficient and safe transportation in open-pit mines.
Yuan Ye, Vice President of Zoomlion, said: “We not only provide global open-pit mining customers with complete sets of mining equipment solutions covering the whole process of ‘drilling, digging, loading, transporting, crushing and discharge’, but we also rely on Zoomlion’s scientific and technological innovation in equipment manufacturing.
With their strength, we have further achieved their leading position in large-scale, electrified, and unmanned operations.
In the future, we will continue to deepen our technology, products, and services, and work with customers and partners from around the world to build beautiful smart mines and lead the new development of the industry!”
