SalesReport of Major Products in China's Construction Machinery Industryin September 2025 (Part 1)
InSeptember 2025, China's construction machinery industry as a wholeshowed a trend of "growth in most products, but pressure in someareas." According to precise statistics from the ChinaConstruction Machinery Industry Association on major productmanufacturers, the monthly and cumulative sales of many products,including graders, truck cranes, and crawler cranes, achievedyear-on-year growth. The export market significantly boosted thegrowth of some products, while a few products experienced ayear-on-year decline in sales due to fluctuations in domestic marketdemand. The following are detailed sales figures for each majorproduct:
Graders
Askey equipment in road construction and land leveling projects,graders performed exceptionally well in September 2025. Statisticsshow that a total of 634 graders were sold that month, a 21.9%increase compared to the same period last year, a relatively highgrowth rate among earthmoving machinery categories. In terms of salesstructure, both the domestic and export markets achieved growth, butthe export market performed more prominently: domestic sales reached99 units, a year-on-year increase of 6.45%, mainly benefiting fromthe orderly progress of domestic infrastructure improvement projects,especially the steady release of demand for graders in small andmedium-sized projects such as rural road upgrades and industrial parksite leveling; exports reached 535 units, a year-on-year increase of25.3%. The strong growth in overseas market demand stemmed from thecontinued implementation of infrastructure projects in countriesalong the Belt and Road Initiative, and also from the furtherhighlighting of the competitive advantages of domestic gradermanufacturers in terms of product cost-effectiveness and after-salesservice systems.
Interms of cumulative sales, from January to September 2025, totalgrader sales reached 6,284 units, a year-on-year increase of 6.73%,maintaining a steady growth trend overall. Domestic sales reached1,122 units, a significant year-on-year increase of 30.6%, reflectingthe continued strong demand from domestic infrastructure investmentin the first half of the year. Exports totaled 5,162 units, ayear-on-year increase of 2.64%. Although the cumulative export growthrate was lower than the monthly growth rate, it still achievedpositive growth, demonstrating the resilience of overseas marketdemand for domestic graders and providing a stable "secondgrowth curve" for the industry.
TruckCranes: As a core lifting equipment in the engineering constructionfield, truck cranes saw significant sales growth in September 2025. Atotal of 1,561 truck cranes were sold that month, a year-on-yearincrease of 21.9%, exceeding the industry average expectation. Thisgrowth was mainly due to the concentrated commencement of large-scaledomestic infrastructure projects and the phased release of liftingoperation demand. Looking at different markets, the domestic marketbecame the core driver of growth: domestic sales reached 764 units, asignificant year-on-year increase of 40.7%. With major domesticprojects in transportation, energy, and water conservancy enteringtheir peak construction period, the demand for truck cranes fromconstruction companies for leasing and purchasing has increasedsignificantly, especially for large-tonnage truck cranes, which arefavored by the market due to their efficient operation capabilities.The export market showed steady growth, with exports reaching 797units, a year-on-year increase of 7.99%. Although the growth rate waslower than the domestic market, against the backdrop of intensifiedcompetition in the global construction machinery market, domestictruck crane manufacturers maintained stable market share in keyoverseas markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East throughtechnological upgrades and brand promotion.
However,the truck crane market faced some pressure in terms of cumulativesales from January to September: cumulative sales reached 15,105units, a year-on-year decrease of 4.17%. Domestic sales totaled 8,255units, a year-on-year decrease of 5.47%. In the first half of theyear, the pace of project commencement slowed in some domesticregions due to factors such as the pandemic and supply chainfluctuations, leading to a temporary decline in demand for truckcranes. Export sales totaled 6,850 units, a year-on-year decrease of2.55%. Overseas markets were affected by geopolitical factors andexchange rate fluctuations, resulting in lower-than-expected demandgrowth, which to some extent dragged down the overall salesperformance.
CrawlerCranes: Crawler cranes occupy an important position in large-scaleengineering construction due to their superior lifting capacity andadaptability to complex working conditions. In September 2025, thecrawler crane market showed rapid growth: 285 crawler cranes ofvarious types were sold that month, a year-on-year increase of 33.2%,ranking among the top in growth rate among lifting machinerycategories. From a market structure perspective, the domestic marketsaw particularly rapid growth: domestic sales reached 110 units, asurge of 66.7% year-on-year. With the intensive advancement of majordomestic projects such as wind power, nuclear power, and large-scalechemical engineering, the demand for large-tonnage crawler cranes hasincreased significantly. Technological breakthroughs by domesticmanufacturers in the field of large crawler cranes have also ensuredthe ability to meet market demand. The export market also performedwell, with exports reaching 175 units, a year-on-year increase of18.2%. The gradual launch of large-scale overseas infrastructureprojects and the improvement of overseas service networks by domesticcrawler crane manufacturers have driven the steady growth in exportsales.
FromJanuary to September 2025, cumulative sales of crawler cranes reached2,365 units, a year-on-year increase of 18.2%, demonstrating strongoverall growth momentum. Domestic sales totaled 754 units, ayear-on-year increase of 18.4%. The continued progress of majordomestic projects provided stable demand support for the crawlercrane market. Furthermore, with the industry's increasing demands forgreen construction and efficient operation, crawler cranes withenergy-saving and intelligent features are more popular in themarket. Exports totaled 1,611 units, a year-on-year increase of18.1%. The comprehensive competitiveness of domestic crawler craneproducts in terms of technology, quality, and price continues toimprove, and their market share in the global market is graduallyexpanding, driving the simultaneous growth of cumulative exportsales.
Truck-MountedCranes: Truck-mounted cranes combine lifting and transportationfunctions and are widely used in logistics, municipal engineering,and power industries. The market performance in September 2025 wasrobust. Sales of various types of truck-mounted cranes reached 2,131units that month, a year-on-year increase of 22%. This growth ratereflects the continued rise in market demand for multi-functionalconstruction machinery products. Looking at different markets, thedomestic market was the main growth engine: domestic sales reached1,585 units, a year-on-year increase of 29.8%. With the rapiddevelopment of the domestic logistics industry and the increasingdemand for "on-demand operations" in areas such asmunicipal engineering and power emergency repairs, truck-mountedcranes, with their flexibility and convenience, have become thepreferred equipment for many enterprises and organizations. Theexport market showed moderate growth, with exports reaching 546units, a year-on-year increase of 3.8%. Overseas demand fortruck-mounted cranes is mainly for small and medium-sized models.Domestic companies have a relatively sufficient supply of products inthis area, but the export growth rate was relatively slow due to theslowdown in economic growth in some overseas regions.
FromJanuary to September 2025, cumulative sales of truck-mounted cranesreached 19,002 units, a year-on-year increase of 5.46%, maintainingsteady growth overall. Domestic sales totaled 14,743 units, up 3.08%year-on-year. The steady release of domestic market demand laid thefoundation for the cumulative sales growth. In particular, the demandfor truck-mounted cranes in second- and third-tier cities andcounty-level markets gradually increased, becoming a new drivingforce for domestic market growth. Export sales totaled 4,259 units,up 14.6% year-on-year. Although the export growth rate was low in themonth, the concentrated release of demand for truck-mounted cranes inoverseas markets in the first half of the year pushed the cumulativeexport growth rate higher than that of the domestic market, showingthat the growth potential of overseas markets is gradually emerging.
