Table 3 Summary of Export Products of the Top Ten Countries in Export Volume in 2023/Ten thousand dollars

The export of China's construction machinery products has risen sharply for two consecutive years.，Continue to maintain a steady growth trend at a high level in 2023，Record export volume of 485.$5.2 billion，Reaching 341.4 billion yuan according to the RMB plan。But there's no denying it，The international trade environment of China's construction machinery is still very grim.，The competition in the international market is intensifying.，Trade protection is rampant，It has formed a plate industrial chain pattern.。Western Europe、North America and East Asia are three pillars.，The formation of three new plates，It has a great impact on China's traditional export enterprises.。

3 Eight major construction central enterprises signed new overseas contracts in 2023/Bid-winning status

Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce show that，2023，11338 on the turnover of China's foreign contracted projects..800 million yuan，Year-on-year growth of 8.8%，The newly signed contract amount is 18639..200 million yuan，Year-on-year growth of 9.5%。With Chinese architecture、Chemistry in China、China Railway、China Railway Construction Corporation、China Communications Construction、China Electric Power Construction、China's foreign contracted engineering enterprises represented by China Nengjian and the eight central enterprises of the MCC Group have actively integrated“The Belt and Road”，Deep ploughing of electric power engineering、Housing construction、Traffic、Petrochemical industry and other fields，Strong development resilience and vitality.。As shown in fig. 2。

For Chinese construction machinery enterprises，“The Belt and Road”It provides a broad overseas development market for them.，Overseas markets have also further enhanced the international competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.。2023，One of the main reasons for the performance growth of major construction machinery enterprises is that overseas revenue has increased significantly year on year.，For example, Liugong's overseas growth rate outperformed the industry by nearly 20 percentage points.，International business revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan for the first time，Year-on-year growth of more than 30%。It is reported that，Construction machinery products in Hunan Province in 2023 increased by 43% over the previous year.7%，The growth rate was 21% higher than the national average.7 percentage points，Among them, the co-construction“The Belt and Road”National Exports 189.500 million yuan，Growth 48.9%。

Figure 2 Overseas Operation of Eight Central Construction Enterprises in 2023

Unprecedented changes in the world in a century，Slow recovery of the world economy，Russia-Ukraine Conflict Continues，To global politics、Economic and other impacts have increased uncertainty.，Sovereign debt risks still exist in some economies。In the global market，Chinese construction machinery enterprises as latecomers，Is changing the pattern of the global construction machinery industry，Behind the export boom，We also need to be alert to increasing instability and challenges.，Such as geopolitical conflicts，And the United Kingdom、EU double-counter investigation, etc.，It will have a great impact on China's construction machinery export.。Especially when domestic demand in the industry is still weak.，Export is bound to occupy an important part of the survival of enterprises.。Looking at the export situation in 2023，Growth has been maintained，But growth has slowed.。Take the export of excavators in 2023 as an example.，Growth in 5 months of the year，The remaining seven months showed a year-on-year decline.，The largest year-on-year decline was-24.8%;Export growth peaked at 34% in February%，Illustrated in Figure 3。

It is expected that the overseas market will maintain a high degree of prosperity in 2024.，But after the past two years of rapid growth,，The export of the industry has entered a stage of steady development，Export sales growth may slow further。
