Reporters learned from the construction machinery industry chain related people.，Infrastructure and real estate investment fell short of expectations.，Demand for construction machinery is weakening，Since July, the recovery speed of equipment start-up hours in the main engine factory is slow.。At present，The inventory cycle of the main engine factories represented by excavators is too long.，Although sales rebounded slightly from the previous month.，However, the orders are still lower than the previous high boom stage.。A number of main engine factory insiders predict，Excavator decline will continue to narrow in the second half of the year，But it will take time for the industry to recover.。

Sales in August were flat on a month-on-month basis, and orders were less than in previous years

The downward cycle of construction machinery is still continuing.。According to the statistics of 26 excavator manufacturing enterprises by China Construction Machinery Industry Association，In August 2022, all kinds of excavator 18076 were sold.，Same as the same period last year。

From the product structure，August 2022，Big Dig、Dig in、The sales volume of small diggers is 1308 units respectively.、1,915 and 5,873，The year-on-year changes were:-1.3%、-8.6%%And 10.1%。

The data shows，Sales of small diggers accounted for a relatively high proportion and maintained a positive year-on-year growth rate.。However，A number of people from the Securities Department of domestic mainframe factories told reporters from the Financial Associated Press.，Small digging doesn't actually make money.，It is mainly sold together with Zhongda Diao.。It is expected that the number of capital construction projects will increase.，Medium、Demand for big digging will increase。The data shows，In August, the month-on-month growth rate was 5.48%。

The excavator is for capital construction.“Standard configuration”，Q3 The commencement of infrastructure construction is crucial to the sales of excavators.。According to the CCTV Financial Excavator Index Report，In August, the average monthly operating rate was 63.99%，Slightly higher than this year's 1-Average operating rate in August: 61.45%。This figure is lower than that of 69 excavators in August 2021..52%The operating rate of。

An insider engaged in the decoration of downstream construction projects disclosed to the Financial Associated Press reporter.，Except for the epidemic area，Little impact on overall project progress，However, there are also projects that have not been started.，The proportion is relatively small。The company's project volume in August was slightly lower than last year.，According to his understanding，Other peer companies are also not optimistic.。

Accelerating the implementation of special debt in the second half of the year is conducive to improving the start-up rate of infrastructure projects.，And pull the demand for construction machinery.。However，These people said，For now，The rate of funds in place is not particularly ideal.，It may take a while.。

Domestic and foreign markets are presented.“Cold inside and hot outside”The situation，Domestic excavator sales continued to decline slightly.，Foreign sales are still good.。Data from China Construction Machinery Industry Association，In August, the domestic sales volume of all kinds of excavators was 9096.，Year-on-year decline of 26.3%；8980 units are exported，Year-on-year growth of 56.7%，The proportion of total sales increased to about 50 percent%。

For industry trends，The insiders of the main engine factory believe that，The overcapacity of the industry is gradually being cleared.，Time 1-Can be digested in 2 years，The growth rate of the industry next year will be slightly better than this year.，However, it does not have the conditions to return to the peak of the industry.，The industry may not return to a better state of growth until the year after next.。Engineer Liu said at a recent performance exchange meeting.，7、August(Sales volume)Is the decline narrowing?，It is predicted that the whole second half of the year will continue to narrow.，Next to 11、December may be the same as last year.，There may even be a small increase.。
