China Construction Machinery Business Network Original] The data in March was released. Due to the short-term pressure due to the epidemic, the sales of loaders fell sharply. Among them, the separate statistics of electric loader data show a different sales curve. Against the background of increasing downward pressure on the economy, electrified equipment has become a new breakthrough for companies to compete for the market.

According to the statistics of 22 loader manufacturers by China Construction Machinery Industry Association, 15,309 loaders of various types will be sold in March 2022, a year-on-year decrease of 32.8%. Among them, 11,399 units were sold in the domestic market, down 38.8% year-on-year; 3,910 units were exported, down 5.81% year-on-year.

According to the data table, from July 2021 to now, except for the increase in February due to the concentrated start of construction, the overall trend is still declining. The decline in sales in March expanded significantly, which has a certain relationship with the high base in the same period last year. After all, the total sales of loaders and domestic sales in March 2021 will be the highest in the whole year.

In the domestic market, the traditional peak sales season in March remained unchanged, and the sales exceeded 10,000 again after 10 months, but fell by 38.8% year-on-year. Apart from the high base in the same period of the year, this was also due to the high maturity of loader products and Domestic market demand tends to stabilize factors.

In addition, judging from the sales data of loaders in a single month over the years, domestic sales in March this year hit a new low in five years. As for the reasons, first of all, the epidemic continues to rebound, and the performance of manufacturing enterprises is under pressure in the short term; secondly, due to the epidemic prevention and control measures, some enterprises have suspended work and production, restricted personnel movement, decreased domestic logistics capacity, and significantly reduced supply chain efficiency.

In terms of exports, although the sales volume of loaders in March fell by 5.81% year-on-year, it still ranked second in monthly sales over the years. The main reason for the decline is, on the one hand, the impact of the ultra-high base last year, and on the other hand, due to the impact of the epidemic, the decline in international logistics capacity, the shortage of containers and warehouses, and the restrictions on exports.

However, from the overall data, except for a few months, the export sales have maintained a positive year-on-year growth since last year, which shows that with the continuous recovery of the overseas economy and the stable improvement of the quality of domestic loader products, the export market still shows a good momentum of development.

According to statistics, from January to March 2022, a total of 180 electric loaders were sold, all of which were 5-ton loaders, of which 39 were in January, 56 in February, and 85 in March. This is the only electrification included in the statistics. product. However, the data table shows that the proportion of electric products is less than 1%, but the future development potential is optimistic by many institutions.

In recent years, the electrification process of global construction machinery has accelerated. With the drive of environmental protection policies, the electrification of loaders has become the mainstream trend of industry development. With the continuous rise in oil prices and the repeated epidemics across the country, the delivery momentum of electric loaders is still hot. The electric loaders of Liugong, Lingong and other enterprises have been delivered in batches in recent years, which has not only become an important propaganda point for enterprises, but also become a competition for enterprises. A new breakthrough in the market.

Nowadays, under the relatively stable stock market, my country's loader industry has shown three major characteristics: first, the incremental market for new loaders represented by pure electric vehicles has been opened; second, the industry has developed steadily and product quality has steadily improved ; Third, the international layout is accelerating, and the export market is still an important growth point for the current industry.

On the whole, although the sales of loaders in March fell sharply, they were all in line with market expectations. Under the situation that the market demand for loaders tends to be stable, companies are consciously accelerating the development and application of electrified equipment, and at the same time actively expanding the process of internationalization. There are still many variables in the future loader market.
