Among this, imports totaled $198 million, down 7.57% year-on-year, while exports amounted to $6.067 billion, up 20.8% year-on-year. From January to May 2026, the cumulative import and export trade volume was $28.911 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.5%.

The China Construction Machinery Association is a national industry organization for China's construction machinery sector, responsible for industry statistics and operational monitoring. Its import and export express report, compiled based on customs statistical data, serves as a key industry indicator reflecting the foreign trade status of China's construction machinery industry. In the cumulative data from January to May 2026, imports totaled $1.009 billion, down 7.44% year-on-year, while exports reached $27.902 billion, up 20.8% year-on-year.

In RMB terms, construction machinery exports in May amounted to 41.699 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%; the cumulative export value from January to May reached 194.005 billion yuan, up 17% year-on-year. Export growth significantly outpaced import growth, with the trade surplus continuing to expand, reflecting the sustained enhancement of the international competitiveness of China's construction machinery products.

From a product structure perspective, exports of crawler excavators, non-road mining dump trucks, electric forklifts and lifting platforms, loaders, and concrete mixer trucks saw rapid growth. In terms of corporate dynamics, XCMG Group held an International Customer Festival in May 2026, attracting over 2,500 customers from more than 100 countries and regions, with on-site signed orders exceeding $1 billion. Additionally, in May 2026, LiuGong Group achieved a batch export of 113 excavators from Qinzhou Port in Guangxi using a new model of "road collection at port + general cargo ship sea transport."

In May 2026, China's excavator exports continued their high-growth trend. According to data from the China Construction Machinery Association, a total of 24,794 excavators of various types were sold in May, a year-on-year increase of 36.2%, of which 13,166 units were exported, up 34.2% year-on-year, with the growth rate accelerating by 11 percentage points compared to April.

The above import and export data indicate that in the first five months of 2026, China's construction machinery industry maintained rapid export growth, with strong overseas market demand and a deepening global layout of the industry. The simultaneous growth of export value in RMB terms further confirms the trend of rising both volume and price in the industry's exports.
