Flowers bloom and fade, clouds roll and unfold. Market fluctuations also follow this unbreakable law, rising and falling, never staying high year-round nor remaining in the trough forever. The downturn currently experienced by the Chinese construction machinery market seems familiar; after previous resilience, prosperity returned. How to endure the cold winter requires companies to rearrange their development strategies, and of course, it also relies on keen insight into opportunities in the Chinese construction machinery market.

In 2016, the Chinese construction machinery market will embrace huge development opportunities. The government will launch a series of large-scale infrastructure projects to boost the Chinese construction machinery market. In addition to promoting domestic market development, these projects will further enhance trade cooperation between the Chinese construction machinery market and important neighboring economies, providing more opportunities for construction machinery enterprises developing in China.
A large number of engineering projects emerge in the Chinese market
The China-Central Asia railway construction will start in 2016. According to preliminary statistics, the railway project requires an investment of over 2 billion USD.
The China-Thailand railway cooperation project, with a total length of 845 km, has launched the first phase of construction.
China and Indonesia formally signed the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway project.
A high-speed railway of over 7,000 km will be built between Beijing and Moscow.
Beijing is expected to complete the world's largest new airport by 2019. The total investment in the airport project is 79.98 billion yuan, mainly for building four runways, a 700,000-square-meter terminal, and various production and service support facilities.
Beijing is further expanding its subway lines, with the total mileage expected to exceed 1,000 km by 2020.
The construction of Wuhan intercity railways is further advanced.
The integrated transportation development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is further promoted.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China plans to build six to eight nuclear power plants each year.

National policy implementation benefits construction machinery
According to regulations jointly issued by China's Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, starting April 1 this year, non-road machinery (such as loaders) will implement the National III emission standard. This means that about 2.5 million old construction machinery units in China will be phased out, and demand for environmentally friendly road machinery will grow significantly. Obviously, the introduction of this government regulation will bring huge market opportunities for construction machinery enterprises.

bauma China 2016: A rebound in one go
From November 22 to 25, 2016, the Shanghai New International Expo Centre will host the biennial heavyweight industry event—bauma China 2016 Shanghai. In 2014, bauma China went against the market trend and continued to grow, gathering over 3,000 exhibitors from 42 countries in a luxurious exhibition space of 300,000 square meters. Exhibits covered construction machinery (57.67%), components and services (32.34%), mining raw material extraction and processing equipment (5.83%), and building materials machinery (4.16%). The exhibition attracted about 190,000 visitors from 148 countries (overseas visitors accounted for about 15%), from construction machinery, building materials machinery, construction vehicles, equipment/parts and other manufacturing companies, engineering companies/construction companies/contractors, building materials producers, distributors and agents, leasing and other service providers, import and export trade, construction management departments, etc. During the exhibition, large orders were frequent and contracts were continuously signed, gaining recognition from major enterprises.

Entering 2016, the industry has experienced multiple bottom-outs and remains sluggish. The current market is the most difficult time, and we need a belief to persevere and not fall before dawn. The decisive battle between victory and defeat lies in whether the heart wavers or remains steadfast. Only by staying true to the original aspiration can we build a legend.
