China Construction Machinery Association Releases H1 2026 Industry Data with Sustained Robust Export GrowthRelease Date : Sep 27, 2026The China Construction Machinery Association has released its H1 2026 industry economic performance report. In the first half of the year, key industry enterprises recorded cumulative excavator sales of 152,320 units, up 26.4% year‑on‑year, and cumulative loader sales of 82,052 units, rising 26.7% year‑on‑year. Total import‑and‑export trade reached USD 35.627 billion, a 20.5% year‑on‑year increase; export value hit USD 34.373 billion, growing 21.7% year‑on‑year with the trade surplus expanding continuously. Industry growth is driven by three forces: “domestic demand as the bedrock, overseas expansion for breakthroughs, and electrification as an enabler”. The domestic market is fueled by the replacement cycle for ageing equipment, new‑type urbanization, and real‑estate‑independent infrastructure such as water conservancy and mining projects. Overseas markets see strong demand for mining and infrastructure construction across the Belt‑and‑Road regions, Africa and Southeast Asia. The electrification transition is accelerating: sales of electric loaders surged 82.4% year‑on‑year in H1, and the penetration rate of new‑energy construction machinery is rising rapidly.
