The China Machinery Industry Federation recently stated that the country's machinery sector is expected to maintain a strong development trend in the second half of the year. Industry performance indicators set at the beginning of the year are likely to be surpassed, reflecting continued positive momentum.
According to the federation's analysis, several favorable factors are driving growth in the mechanical product market. First, the national policy aimed at revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry has gained widespread support and is gradually delivering positive results. Additionally, the government's ongoing focus on energy-saving and emission reduction initiatives will push for technological upgrades across related industries, creating new opportunities for the machinery sector. Increased consumer demand, stronger support for agriculture, and enhanced infrastructure projects are also contributing to a robust market environment for mechanical products.
Moreover, the export of machinery is expected to improve in quality and undergo structural adjustments. Export tax rebates are helping to reshape the product mix, with automobiles and high-end electromechanical equipment leading the way in terms of export performance. However, there are still challenges. The industry continues to face pressure from rising production costs and shortages of certain raw materials. Additionally, increased imports of advanced machinery and equipment, encouraged by government policies, may put some pressure on domestic markets.
In particular, the growth of agricultural machinery, such as large-scale combine harvesters and medium-to-large tractors, remains sluggish in some regions. Despite these challenges, current order backlogs for machinery companies remain strong, suggesting that production stability is likely. The sector is expected to maintain steady economic growth in the second half of the year, with key metrics like total industrial output, added value, revenue, profit, foreign trade, and exports all projected to grow by around 25%—a strong indicator of the industry’s resilience and potential.
