China's construction machinery exported to Russia in the first quarter increased significantly

For the rapidly growing domestic construction machinery industry, the domestic market is far from meeting the needs of enterprise development. Internationalization has become a necessary path for the development of many construction machinery enterprises. In addition, the export market for domestic construction machinery has also begun to develop rapidly. rising. It is reported that in the first quarter of 2011, the Heihe Port exported 517 sets of shoveling, excavation, and compaction engineering machinery to Russia, with a total value of 21,433,700 US dollars, up 237.91% and 149.03% respectively year-on-year. Construction machinery has become the leading commodity of Heihe port export machinery and equipment. From the point of view of export type, the loader accounted for the largest share, accounting for more than half, followed by bulldozers and rollers, the products are mainly Xugong, Shantui and other famous brands.

The data shows that since 2000, Russia has become the fastest growing country in the construction field in the world, and the construction market has increased by 10% to 15% every year. Since 2011, the Russian economy has rapidly recovered, and the market demand for construction machinery has also continuously increased. Under the influence of rising real estate prices in Russia, the influx of investment has stimulated the vigorous development of the construction industry, which has brought tremendous business opportunities to the growth of Russia’s construction machinery and construction machinery market. At the same time, the depreciation rate of Russian construction and construction machinery has reached 45% to 75%, and it is difficult for local companies to raise funds to cause backward technology and management, and it is unable to meet market demand for equipment. At present, 50% of the machinery and equipment in use in the country is imported, accounting for 30% of the total imports. The major import brands are Caterpillar, Volvo, JCB, Hitachi and others. With the maturity of China's construction machinery products, well-known brands such as XCMG and Shantui have also won wide recognition from Russian customers with higher prices.

Analysts said that there are three main reasons for the dramatic rise of construction machinery exported by the Heihe port to Russia. First, Russia’s construction machinery and construction machinery market is in strong demand, and the Russian construction industry is currently booming. With the continuous rise of international crude oil prices, Russia’s economy is rapidly recovering, and oil and gas and mineral exploration have become more demanding for construction machinery. Rapid development, and Russia's indigenous engineering machinery products can not meet the needs of the domestic market, which has created tremendous opportunities for Chinese construction machinery companies to export to Russia. Second, China's construction machinery products cost-effective. In recent years, the rapid rise of China's construction machinery manufacturing industry, product quality and cheap, is favored by Russian users. The third is the unique geographical advantage of Heihe Port. Heihe port is close to the corresponding port of Blagoveshchensk in Russia and has a high specification. Compared with other ports, it has obvious advantages in product export transportation, customs declaration in Russia, and logistics sales. In particular, in terms of export transportation, there is no need for transport equipment to be loaded out of the country during the freezing period. Instead, it is exported through the self-drive way.

In addition, a senior analyst from China Construction Machinery Business Network stated that Russia has a long history of development in large-scale construction machinery, and there are also many advanced technologies that are worthy of studying in the Chinese construction machinery industry, while China currently has certain development advantages in terms of medium-sized products. . Therefore, trade, technical cooperation and investment cooperation between China and Russia in terms of construction machinery have a good space for development. They can complement each other and play a greater role in the development of China-Russia economic and trade relations.
