Potential advantages of the construction crane industry

After joining the WTO, looking forward to the development of China's construction crane industry, I believe that the main advantages of the following three aspects.

First, the market demand for domestic construction machinery is huge

Whether it is the need to continue to expand domestic demand development strategies, or the implementation of a large number of national-level major construction projects such as the Western Development, the South-to-North Water Transfer, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the steady implementation of the urbanization and sustainable development strategies in China, all provide the construction machinery industry with Large and long-term market. According to the forecast of the national authority, the annual demand for domestic construction cranes will reach 8,000 to 9,000 units (including tower cranes) by 2005.

The second is stable and medium-to-small tonnage products

After over 40 years of development, China's construction crane industry has established a relatively complete production system. The mass production of small and medium-sized truck cranes has also been in existence for more than 30 years. In particular, starting from the 1980s, some of the key domestic companies manufacturing wheeled cranes have introduced advanced technologies from Japan's Tadano, Kato, Grove, and Liebherr, respectively, after years of digestion and absorption and localization. , Has greatly promoted the technical progress and product level of China's wheeled crane industry. For decades, domestic wheeled crane products have occupied a relatively stable market share in China's East China, South Central, North China, Southwest, Northwest and other areas and military supplies. All of these laid the foundation for the further development of China's construction crane industry.

Third, the domestic labor resources are abundant

The cheap labor cost is our country’s comparative advantage in international competition. Although China's export of construction machinery products has increased in recent years, its technical content, but still belongs to labor-intensive products. The proportion of labor costs in the cost of construction machinery products in China is far lower than the international level. With the increase of products in the future, the proportion of labor costs will be further reduced. These are also an important advantage for China's construction crane industry to participate in international competition.
