The global mining and construction machinery industry is entering a new growth cycle in 2026, with exports hitting record highs, raw material prices continuing to rise, and demand shifting toward high efficiency, energy saving and intelligence.
According to industry data, China’s construction machinery exports in Q1 2026 increased by 36.1% year-on-year for excavators and 38.5% for loaders, with the Belt and Road regions becoming the core growth engine. Global mining investment remains strong, driven by rising prices of copper, iron and lithium, directly boosting demand for underground loaders, mining trucks and supporting equipment.
Since May 2026, leading Chinese manufacturers have successively raised product prices by 3%–5%, mainly due to continuous increases in steel, rubber, copper and other raw material costs. This trend will further accelerate industry reshuffling, pushing enterprises to shift from price competition to quality, service and supply chain capability competition.
