Why are excavators doing well this year?
In recent years, the excavator market has been attracting much attention, especially since 2023, excavator sales and market demand have shown significant growth. This article will analyze the reasons why the excavator market is improving this year from multiple dimensions such as policy support, infrastructure investment, and export growth, combined with structured data.
1. Policy support drives market demand
In 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission and local governments have successively introduced a series of policies to stabilize growth, among which infrastructure investment is one of the key directions. For example, many provinces have launched major engineering projects in the "14th Five-Year Plan", which directly boosted the demand for excavators. The following are the infrastructure investment plans of some provinces in the past 10 days:
| province | Investment amount (100 million yuan) | Number of key projects |
|---|---|---|
| Jiangsu | 1200 | 45 |
| Guangdong | 1500 | 60 |
| Sichuan | 800 | 30 |
The implementation of these projects has directly driven the purchase demand for excavators, especially small and medium-sized excavators, which have become a popular product in the market.
2. Infrastructure investment has accelerated, and excavator sales have increased significantly.
According to data from the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, from January to September 2023, domestic excavator sales increased by 15% year-on-year, with September sales hitting a new high for the year. The following is the excavator sales data in the past three months:
| month | Domestic sales (Taiwan) | year-on-year growth rate |
|---|---|---|
| July | 12,500 | 10% |
| August | 13,800 | 12% |
| September | 15,200 | 18% |
It can be seen from the data that excavator sales are rising month by month, especially in September, with a growth rate of 18%, showing strong market demand.
3. Outstanding performance in the export market
In addition to the growth of the domestic market, excavator exports have also shown explosive growth. From January to September 2023, China's excavator exports increased by 35% year-on-year, mainly to Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and other regions. The following is the export data for the past three months:
| month | Export volume (Taiwan) | year-on-year growth rate |
|---|---|---|
| July | 5,800 | 30% |
| August | 6,200 | 32% |
| September | 6,500 | 40% |
The growth of exports not only eases the competitive pressure in the domestic market, but also brings new profit growth points to excavator companies.
4. Environmental protection policies promote equipment updates
In 2023, the country further tightened the emission standards for non-road mobile machinery, and many places began to phase out excavators with emission standards below National III. This policy directly promoted the replacement of old equipment and led to a new round of excavator sales boom.
5. Summary
Taken together, the main reasons for the good excavator market in 2023 are as follows: policy support, acceleration of infrastructure investment, export market growth, and environmental protection policies to promote equipment updates. In the future, with the in-depth implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the advancement of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the excavator market is expected to continue to maintain a growth trend.
For industry practitioners, seizing policy dividends and market opportunities, optimizing product structure, and expanding overseas markets will be the key to future development.
