2025 Engineering Machinery Industry Trend Insights: Intelligence Leads, Sustainability Drives, and Global Expansion Accelerates
With the continued support of China's national policies and the gradual recovery of market demand, China's engineering machinery industry is expected to maintain steady growth in 2025. The market size is projected to reach 910 billion RMB, while the global market continues its upward trajectory. Intelligence, sustainability, and globalization are emerging as the three core trends in the industry's development. This article analyzes the key directions and potential opportunities for China's engineering machinery industry in 2025.1. Market Size and GrowthIn recent years, China's engineering machinery industry has experienced cyclical fluctuations, but with the dual drivers of policy support and strong market demand, the sector is now showing significant signs of recovery. Statistics indicate that the industry's revenue reached 849 billion RMB in 2023, is estimated to grow to 876.6 billion RMB in 2024, and is projected to hit 910 billion RMB in 2025. This growth is underpinned by strong national policies and robust demand for infrastructure construction.Globally, the engineering machinery market is also expanding. Global sales are forecasted to reach $131 billion in 2024 and continue to grow steadily in 2025. By 2030, the market size is expected to reach $165.67 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. With countries worldwide ramping up infrastructure construction and urbanization, the global engineering machinery market is set for continued expansion. China's accelerated internationalization efforts are expected to further boost the industry's overall development.2. Accelerated Transformation to Intelligence and SustainabilityIntelligence and sustainability have become key development directions for China's engineering machinery industry. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and growing societal demands for sustainable development, the need for green and energy-efficient machinery is set to rise. By 2025, more engineering machinery companies are expected to increase investment in smart control, remote monitoring, and eco-friendly technologies, driving product optimization and technological upgrades.The "2023 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report" highlights that intelligence and sustainability have been identified as core development goals for the engineering machinery industry. Chinese companies are accelerating their transition towards intelligent and green products, introducing electric and smart solutions to meet the rising expectations of markets and customers. For instance, Xiamen TDER Industrial Co., Ltd. (TDER) has actively entered this space, launching electric skid steer loaders and electric excavators, contributing to the industry's green transformation.3. Accelerated Global Market ExpansionUnder the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese engineering machinery companies are expected to further expedite their global expansion. By 2025, China's engineering machinery exports are anticipated to grow significantly, especially in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and developing countries. Companies are enhancing their international competitiveness through overseas acquisitions and the establishment of international R&D centers. Meanwhile, the North American market, as the world's largest engineering machinery market, will remain a stable high-value market offering substantial opportunities for Chinese enterprises.Chinese companies' global footprint extends beyond product exports to include technological innovation and brand development. TDER’s persistent efforts in expanding overseas markets, particularly in Asia, the Americas, and Europe, are progressively achieving comprehensive global business coverage.4. Diversified Market DemandBy 2025, the demand in the engineering machinery industry will exhibit greater diversity. Domestically, urbanization and infrastructure construction—especially the implementation of new urbanization projects—will drive consistent demand for basic equipment such as excavators, loaders, and concrete machinery. This demand includes both large-scale infrastructure projects and the use of compact machinery in urban construction.Internationally, market demands are even more diverse. Different regions, depending on their stage of infrastructure development, have varying needs for engineering machinery. For instance, Asia and Africa focus on infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and mining, while Europe and North America demand high-tech, high-performance equipment, spurring growth in intelligent and automated machinery.Looking Ahead to 2025, the engineering machinery industry is poised for a transformation driven by technological innovation and evolving market demands. Intelligence, sustainability, and globalization are not only the key directions for future growth but also the core elements of industry competition. TDER will continue to deepen its research and development efforts, accelerate the launch of intelligent and sustainable products, expand its international markets, and enhance product competitiveness to provide more efficient and eco-friendly machinery solutions for customers worldwide.
