‘Stable and good progress’ in the long term

\n\n

Mr Su explained that, since the introduction of China’s ‘14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Construction Machinery Industry’ two years ago, the local equipment manufacturers have made a lot of effort to seize development opportunities and take the initiative to respond to risks and challenges.

\n\n

Their accomplishments are reflected in five aspects, shared Mr Su. First, the industry on the whole has achieved a stable development. Second, the manufacturers have increased their efforts to grow the international market and the export volume has risen significantly, and the quality of global services has also been improved. Third, there has been a continuous increase in R&D investments, acceleration of high-level R&D systems, and positive results in scientific and technological innovations. Fourth, the improvements in industrial basic capabilities and industrial chain modernisation level ensure the high-quality development of the industry. Lastly, the high-end, intelligent and green developments in the industry have led to successful results.

\n\n

Mr Su further pointed out that from January to May this year, the domestic market’s performance was generally less robust than expected, and great attention should be paid to the new challenges in the development of the industry. He foresees that some products in the domestic market will still face certain pressure in the near future, but with the exertion of policy effectiveness and steady improvement in the market environment, the pressure will be gradually alleviated, and thus the overall construction machinery industry can achieve a stable and good progress in the long run.

\n\n

Li Jianyou, vice chairman of CCMA and chairman of Carbon Emissions Peak and Carbon Neutrality Working Committee (Carbon P&N Committee) and Engineering Crane Branch, stated that under the guidance and lead of the national carbon emissions peak and carbon neutrality strategy, the construction machinery industry is actively pursuing the path of green and low-carbon development. As such, the Carbon P&N Committee will set up a carbon emissions peak and carbon neutrality show area at BICES 2023 to display its green and low-carbon technology and equipment. Also, together with the organisers, the Carbon P&N Committee will implement a series of activities to promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the construction machinery industry.
