The Chinese crane industry has undergone a profound transformation from 'scale expansion' to 'value leadership' in the past decade, with core features including three breakthroughs: export driven, intelligent upgrading, and green transformation. The domestic market demand continues to shrink due to the impact of the real estate downturn. The sales volume of tower cranes will decline by more than 70% year on year in 2024, but the industry will achieve 'internal cooling and external heating' through structural optimization: from January to October 2025, the export volume of crawler cranes will increase by 23.6% year on year, with the export proportion stable at more than 60%, focusing on the 'the Belt and Road' markets in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, etc. Top enterprises Sany Heavy Industry, Zoomlion, and XCMG Machinery accounted for 64%, 51.4%, and over 50% of their overseas revenue, respectively. Their products have transitioned from low-end to large tonnage, electrification, and intelligence. In terms of intelligence, the industry has built 15 'leading level intelligent factories', achieving 10 minute automatic changeover of production lines and a 30% increase in production efficiency. AI and IoT technology are widely used in remote control, tower collision prevention, and predictive maintenance. Huichuan Technology's intelligent operation and maintenance system has been connected to over 2000 devices. At the policy level, the '15th Five Year Plan' clearly states the goal of 'improving the level of digital development', the 'Implementation Plan for Digital Transformation of Machinery Industry' accelerates the elimination of outdated production capacity, and the proportion of energy efficiency benchmark production capacity continues to increase, promoting the industry to move towards high-end and low-carbon development.
