Since 2026, China’s overseas exports of construction machinery have maintained a strong upward trend, acting as a core driving force for the growth of hydraulic casting orders.

Industry statistics show that exports of major equipment such as excavators have achieved year-on-year growth for 23 consecutive months, with annual export sales surging by over 36%. Robust infrastructure demand in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Belt and Road regions continues to bring new market increments.

Strong exports of complete machinery equipment have greatly boosted market demand for core supporting hydraulic castings including valve bodies, pump housings and cylinder blocks.

Leading domestic precision casting enterprises are currently fully booked with orders and operating at high capacity utilization rates, with high-pressure and lightweight hydraulic castings in tight supply. Industry insiders pointed out that expanding overseas infrastructure demand and the cost-performance advantages of Chinese equipment will sustain the growth of supporting casting exports, underpinning the steady development of the industry throughout the year.
