In recent years, as China's construction machinery parts enterprises have continuously enhanced their capabilities in independent research and development and innovation, and their manufacturing levels have been constantly improving, the export volume of domestic parts has continued to grow, and their overseas competitiveness has become increasingly prominent.
According to statistics from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, from January to December 2025, the total import and export value of construction machinery parts in China was 18.04 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of 11.8% in import and export value. Among them: Exports reached 16.34 billion US dollars, increasing by 12.3% year-on-year. Imports reached 1.69 billion US dollars, up 7.8% year-on-year. The trade surplus was 14.65 billion US dollars.
Focusing on the whole year of 2025, how will the export performance of China's construction machinery parts products be? What changes have occurred in global regional markets and export volumes to destination countries?
Monthly changes in part exports
In terms of exports, the cumulative export of construction machinery parts from January to December reached 16.34 billion US dollars, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.3%. On a monthly basis, except for February, the export volume increased year-on-year every month.
A list of the top ten countries for parts exports
In 2025, the top ten countries in terms of China's construction machinery parts export volume will be: The United States, Japan, Russia, India, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Thailand. Among them, the top ten countries totaled approximately 8.146 billion US dollars, accounting for 49.85% of the total exports, approximately half of the global total exports, but the proportion has shrunk compared to last year.
Changes in the export share of important export destinations
From the perspective of changes in the export destination markets, by comparing the export proportions of the past three years (2023-2025) and the previous three years (2020-2022), we can see that:
The proportion of China's exports of construction machinery parts to the United States, Australia, South Korea, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy and other countries (regions) is getting lower and lower.
The proportion of exports to countries such as Russia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore has been continuously increasing.
Characteristics of China's export of construction machinery parts
Based on the analysis of the full-year data for 2025, the export of China's construction machinery parts presents the following notable characteristics:
First, the scale of exports has continued to expand, and the trade surplus has been significant
In 2025, the export value of construction machinery parts reached 16.34 billion US dollars, increasing by 12.3% year-on-year. The trade surplus expanded to 14.65 billion US dollars, demonstrating China's strong international competitiveness and supply chain advantages in this field.
Second, the structure of the export market is undergoing profound changes
The export destinations show a notable feature of "emerging ones rising and traditional ones falling". The export share of traditional developed economies such as the United States, Australia and South Korea has continued to decline, while the export share to emerging markets such as Russia, India and Indonesia have steadily increased. Export destinations have become more diversified. Although the proportion of the top ten export countries still accounts for nearly 50%, it has shrunk compared with previous years, reflecting that Chinese enterprises are actively exploring broader global markets and effectively reducing the risk of reliance on a single market.
Looking ahead, as China's construction machinery parts enterprises continue to strengthen technological research and development and quality improvement, the competitiveness of export products will be further enhanced. Against the backdrop of the global industrial chain reconstruction and the deepening of regional economic and trade cooperation, China's construction machinery parts are expected to consolidate their traditional markets while continuously expanding their influence in emerging markets, promoting a more balanced and sustainable export structure.
