Regarding domestic demand, Kaiyuan Securities pointed out that the construction of high-speed rail along the Yangtze River will drive a demand of nearly 1.5 trillion yuan, which is expected to benefit the engineering machinery industry. In terms of exports, in the first two months of this year, China's exports of engineering machinery products to Africa, Oceania, and Europe increased by 77%, 50.6%, and 28.1%, respectively. CITIC Construction Investment Securities noted that in January and February 2026, excavator exports reached 20,456 units, a year-on-year increase of 38.8%, and it is expected that domestic sales will also recover to positive growth in March; looking at the whole year, the domestic market is expected to achieve over 10% growth, with export growth possibly exceeding 15%, indicating a clear upward trend in the resonance of domestic and foreign demand. Some institutions analyze that the reasons for this round of high growth can be summarized in three points: first, global infrastructure and mining investment have entered a new round of active period, especially the energy transition has driven a surge in demand for the extraction of key minerals such as lithium, copper, and nickel; second, domestic companies have significantly enhanced their overseas channels and localization service capabilities after years of deep cultivation; third, the stability and high cost-performance of the Chinese supply chain have absorbed some of the international order transfers during the global supply chain restructuring. Specifically, overseas expansion has become the core growth engine for leading engineering machinery companies. CICC analysis believes that Sany's overseas revenue will reach 55.86 billion yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%, accounting for 62.3% of total revenue, with its overseas gross profit margin rising to 71%; revenue from the African region increased by 55% year-on-year, and the Asia-Pacific region grew by 16%. Zoomlion's overseas market revenue is expected to reach 30.515 billion yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 30.52%, with its share of total revenue rising to 58.56%, setting a historical high. Dongxing Securities pointed out that in 2026, the engineering machinery industry will welcome a domestic equipment renewal cycle and a recovery in overseas demand, creating an upward resonance pattern; the domestic excavator renewal demand will support a mild and lasting recovery in domestic demand, and the Federal Reserve entering a rate-cutting cycle will improve global liquidity, leading to an upward cycle in overseas excavator demand starting in 2026, with the Middle East and Africa being the core growth regions overseas.
