DUBAI--(Korea Newswire)--China’s equipment manufacturers continue to make deeper inroads in Asia’s booming excavator market, undercutting the South Korean and Japanese manufacturers, according to a new study by Fact.MR. Buoyed by rising domestic sales—which touched a record 49,408 in March 2020—Chinese excavator manufacturers are looking to gain an upper hand in the booming the Asian construction equipment market.

“Chinese excavators are 25% to 30% less expensive than their competitors, giving a price competitiveness to Chinese manufacturers. This has forced Japanese and South Korean manufacturers to rethink about their lineups as they are now looking to launch mid-range offerings”, says a lead analyst at Fact.MR.

According to the study, the massive infrastructure push by the Chinese government has also given greater opportunities to the South Korean and Japanese manufacturers. South Korean construction manufacturing companies, including Doosan Infracore Co. and Hyundai Construction Equipment Co., have seen their sales rise in China’s domestic market in 2020.

Massive Infrastructure Push by the Chinese Government

Sales of the Asian construction equipment have been dampened by the COVID-19 and related slowdown, but China has been an outlier. The construction boom, fueled by the government’s stimulus package, has created opportunities for equipment manufacturers of all sizes.

“The future of excavator sales in China will depend to a large extent on China’s domestic market. Both domestic and overseas manufacturers are looking at the situation closely, as the country is prime for steady sales,” said the Fact.MR study.

Considering growing opportunities in Asia’s growing domestic market, the construction equipment market is becoming fiercely competitive. Japan’s Komatsu and Hitachi Construction Machinery, and South Korean Hyundai Construction Equipment are facing pressures from rivals who are pumping low-cost offerings into the market.

The promising outlook of excavator sales is part of a gaining momentum in the Asia construction equipment market. Although the COVID-19 pandemic caused the global economy to slow down in 2020, many governments have been quick to announce stimulus packages in an effort to turn around their economy.

“Many Asian countries haven’t been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as severely as Europe or the US. While India is witnessing a resurgent second-wave, the pandemic is under control in many high-growth Asian economies. The focus on infrastructure development has provided an impetus to the construction equipment market in Asia,” says the lead consultant of the report.

The study further finds that some excavator companies are also using the strategy of leasing/renting old equipment. More and more companies choose renting over purchasing, and such a strategy is becoming a preferred choice.

According to the study, among various types of excavators—compact, crawler, dragline, long-reach, and suction—demand for compact excavator is expected to surge. Furthermore, demand for medium (13,227 - 22,046 lbs.)-sized excavators is growing at a steady pace as Asia’s construction industry prioritizes project costs.
