Sales Report of MajorProducts in China's Construction Machinery Industry, September 2025(Part 3)
LiftingWork Platforms
Liftingwork platforms are mainly used for high-altitude operations and arewidely used in construction, municipal engineering, power, logistics,and other fields. In September 2025, the lifting work platform marketfaced pressure, with sales of 12,416 units, a year-on-year decreaseof 23.8%, reflecting a phased adjustment in market demand. Looking atdifferent markets, the domestic market saw a significant decline:domestic sales were 5,334 units, a year-on-year decrease of 32.7%.Affected by factors such as adjustments in the domestic real estateindustry and delays in the commencement of some constructionprojects, domestic construction companies significantly reduced theirdemand for leasing and purchasing lifting work platforms. At the sametime, some companies extended the equipment's usage cycle to controlcosts, further suppressing new demand. The export market also facedpressure, with exports reaching 7,082 units, a year-on-year decreaseof 15.3%. Overseas markets were affected by geopolitical factors anda slowdown in economic growth, resulting in lower-than-expecteddemand growth, which to some extent dragged down sales performancethat month.
FromJanuary to September 2025, the cumulative sales volume of aerial workplatforms reached 131,901 units, a significant year-on-year decreaseof 30%, indicating substantial downward pressure on the overallmarket. Domestic sales totaled 51,168 units, a year-on-year decreaseof 46%. The continued adjustment in the domestic real estate industrywas the main reason for the sharp decline in domestic sales.Simultaneously, after several years of rapid growth, the domesticaerial work platform market demand gradually entered a period ofadjustment. Export sales totaled 80,733 units, a year-on-yeardecrease of 13.7%. Although the decline in the export market was lessthan that in the domestic market, the uncertainty of the globaleconomic environment still had a significant impact on export sales.Domestic aerial work platform companies need to further optimizetheir overseas market layout to cope with market fluctuations.
AerialWork Platforms
Aerialwork platforms, as special-purpose vehicles, are mainly used forhigh-altitude operations such as power emergency repairs, municipalmaintenance, and building decoration. In September 2025, the aerialwork platform market experienced explosive growth, with 484 unitssold that month, a year-on-year increase of 48%, ranking among thetop in growth rate among all categories in the construction machineryindustry. Looking at different markets, the domestic market was themain driver of growth: domestic sales reached 456 units, ayear-on-year increase of 42.9%. With the intensive advancement ofmunicipal engineering, the power industry, and urban renewal projectsin China, the demand for aerial work platforms has increasedsignificantly, especially for multi-functional and highly safe aerialwork platforms. The export market performed particularly well, with28 units exported, a year-on-year increase of 250%. Although thetotal export volume was relatively small, the growth rate wasextremely high, mainly due to the breakthroughs made by domesticaerial work platform manufacturers in emerging overseas markets andthe increased recognition of domestic products by overseas customers.
FromJanuary to September 2025, cumulative sales of aerial work platformsreached 3,818 units, a year-on-year increase of 41.4%, demonstratingstrong overall growth momentum. Domestic sales totaled 3,645 units, ayear-on-year increase of 39.8%. The continued release of domesticmarket demand laid a solid foundation for the cumulative salesgrowth. Domestic aerial work platform (AWP) manufacturers' continuousimprovements in product technology and after-sales service furtherconsolidated their market position. Exports totaled 173 units, ayear-on-year increase of 88%. Although the total export volumeremains relatively low, the high growth rate demonstrates the hugegrowth potential of overseas markets, which are expected to become anew growth highlight for the AWP industry in the future.
OverallSummary and Trend Outlook
Insummary, the sales data for China's construction machinery industryin September 2025 and from January to September show thecharacteristics of "infrastructure-driven growth of corecategories, resilience in the export market, and significantdifferentiation in subdivided sectors." On the one hand,products highly related to infrastructure and municipal projects,such as graders, road rollers, and aerial work platforms, achieved adouble increase in sales volume and growth rate thanks to thecontinued strength of domestic infrastructure investment and theexpansion of overseas markets. Industrial vehicles such as forklifts,relying on the recovery of the manufacturing industry and thedevelopment of the logistics industry, maintained steady growth underlarge-scale sales, becoming the "ballast" for the stableoperation of the industry. On the other hand, domestic sales of towercranes and lifting work platforms have declined significantly due tofactors such as adjustments in the domestic real estate industry.Although growth in the export market partially offset the pressure,the industry still faces the challenge of demand adjustment.
Lookingat future trends, with the continued implementation of domesticinfrastructure projects, the deepening of infrastructure cooperationwith countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, and the demand forequipment upgrades driven by intelligent manufacturing and improvedlogistics efficiency, the construction machinery industry as a wholestill has room for growth. However, companies need to pay closeattention to the risks of demand fluctuations in certain domesticsectors, further optimize their product structure, strengthenoverseas market channel development and localization capabilities,and simultaneously promote the research and development of green andintelligent technologies to better adapt to market changes, seizegrowth opportunities in niche markets, and drive the industry towardshigh-quality development.
