June is normally a seasonal trough for China’s construction machinery sector, but production lines are running at full capacity, electric models are in acute shortage and delivery cycles have lengthened significantly. New-energy construction equipment sales remain strong: Jan–May electric loader sales totaled 20,819 units, up 90.9% YoY. Electrification is becoming the industry's primary growth engine. Exports are also elevated: Jan–May construction machinery trade was $28.911 bln, up 19.5% YoY, with exports of $27.902 bln, up 20.8%.
