2016 China Construction Machinery: Icebreaker and Rebirth

In 2016, if two key words are used to summarize the development of China's construction machinery this year, it is "warmth" and "hope". Since the beginning of the year, excavators have seen a historic increase, and the increase in September, October and November has exceeded 70% for three consecutive months. Other products are also making a modest recovery. We have been looking forward to this moment for more than five years, and it is not easy to come by! Looking back on 2016, it was a year of ice-breaking rebirth, bringing hope and turnaround, which is worth remembering!

The data recovery industry broke the ice and was reborn

Since the beginning of 2016, construction machinery data has begun to show signs of recovery. According to the statistics of China Construction Machinery Business Network, the report card of the excavator this year is eye-catching! February began to pick up strongly, and since August, year-on-year sales have exploded, with an increase of more than 40% for four consecutive months, of which September, October, and November have increased by more than 70%.LoaderBy July and August, there were signs of bottoming, and in September it began to stabilize and rebound. Since 2016, bulldozer sales have entered the bottoming stage, with a slight year-on-year improvement. The construction machinery industry has bottomed out and broken the ice.

Cross-border expansion of construction machinery industry chain

The main manufacturers of construction machinery, while doing a good job in traditional products, continue to extend across borders and expand the industrial chain. In March 2016, Sany was established in ZhuhaiJiulong InsuranceIt has become the first professional insurance company in China to serve the equipment and equipment manufacturing industry. On December 26, Sany Heavy Industry participated in the sharesSanxiang BankThe opening will focus on five major directions: high-end manufacturing, medicine and medical care, cultural tourism, new energy and new materials, and government platforms. So far, Sany cross-border finance has better served the construction machinery industry. Whether it is cross-border or expanding the product chain, host companies are actively seeking new profit growth points, or better serving the main business, or opening up new industries and new products, to achieve diversified development.

China III will further standardize the aftermarket

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Environmental Protection on the implementation of the national third-stage diesel engine exhaust pollutant emission standards for non-road mobile machinery, starting from April 1, 2016, except for agricultural machinery, all manufactured, imported and sold non-road mobile machinery shall not be equipped with diesel engines that do not meet the requirements of the third stage of the "non-road standards" (hereinafter referred to as the "national three standards"). The implementation of this policy will speed up the withdrawal of some substandard construction machinery products from the market and increase the production cost of manufacturers. This is another important measure taken by the state to eliminate outdated equipment and protect the environment. At the same time, the China Construction Machinery Industry Association is also in the process of establishing a product ID card, in the future, the stock on the market will be included in the book "Construction Machinery Fuselage Identification Code", all construction machinery products will be well documented.

Rising costs and new pressures on companies

Since the second half of 2016, the price of coal and steel has risen, and after the 921 policy, logistics costs have also begun to rise sharply. This has added new market pressure to the construction machinery industry that has just picked up and recovered. The high cost of production makes the construction machinery manufacturers represented by Sany brewing a wave of price increases. It is only a matter of time before the price increase will become a trend in the future!

The overseas market is still booming

The international economic situation in 2016 is still complex and changeable, but China's construction machinery overseas orders are endless, and the pace of internationalization is accelerating. Various enterprises have increased the number of countries along the Belt and Road, and large orders have emerged. At the same time, overseas factories are built to speed up localization construction. The holding of the Bauma exhibition in Germany also enables Chinese enterprises to better show their brand strength to the world.

Bauma ShanghaiAccelerate the internationalization of the industry

On November 22-25, 2016, baumaChina2016 was held in Shanghai. This is the first event after the industry recovers. The four-day exhibition brought together more than 170,000 professional visitors from 149 countries and regions, built a broad exchange and cooperation platform for customers and manufacturers, and promoted the international development of the industry.

The range of intelligent applications is wider

Intelligence is the trend of industry development. In 2016, the pace of development of intelligent robots has accelerated, and the application range is becoming more and more extensive, from production to driving, from construction to rescue. Through the research and development of intelligent hydraulic systems and control systems for construction machinery, major enterprises can realize the intelligent operation of excavators, which will eventually help realize the localization of excavator hydraulic systems and control systems. At the same time, intelligent rescue equipment has also been fully introduced to the market, playing a role in firefighting, fire and earthquake, and reducing the personal injury of disaster relief personnel. In the future, intelligence should be more widely used.
