Usually, June is the traditional off-season for the construction machinery industry, but this year has seen a hot scene of "no off-season". CCTV financial reporters found during their visits that many companies' production lines are running at full capacity, electric products are in short supply, and delivery times for some orders have been significantly extended. Data shows that from January to May this year, China's sales of new energy construction machinery have maintained good momentum. Taking electric loaders as an example, a total of 20,819 units were sold from January to May, an increase of 90.9% compared to the same period last year. Electrification is becoming the core engine driving growth in the construction machinery industry. The domestic market is not in an off-season, and the overseas market is also performing well. In the first five months of this year, China's exports of construction machinery continued to grow rapidly, with many companies exceeding their production capacity limits. The logistics delivery rhythm has also changed from "monthly concentrated" to "normalized". Data shows that from January to May this year, China's total import and export trade volume of construction machinery was $28.911 billion, a 19.5% increase compared to the same period last year, with exports amounting to $27.902 billion, a 20.8% increase.
