In the first half of 2024, China's main export countries of overhead cranes and gantry cranes include India, Vietnam, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Russia and other emerging markets. In the process of infrastructure construction and industrialization, these countries have a strong demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes. demand has increased significantly.
Export products mainly include single-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes, double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes, and container overhead cranes and gantry cranes. Among them, single-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes are due to their simple structure and low price. Relatively cheap, they have become the main products for export. Double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes are favored by some large-scale engineering projects because of their high load-bearing capacity and wide range of applications. Container overhead cranes and gantry cranes are mainly used. For container handling in ports and logistics parks, market demand is growing steadily.
According to customs data, in the first half of 2024, China's export volume of overhead cranes and gantry cranes reached 3,500 units, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Export volume reached US$1.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20%. Among them, the demand in the Indian market is very strong, with export volume reaching 1,000 units, accounting for 28.6% of the total export volume; Vietnam and Thailand follow closely, exporting 800 units and 600 units respectively.
Main countries that import overhead cranes and gantry cranes
- India: India is the first importer of Chinese overhead cranes and gantry cranes. In recent years, the Indian government has increased investment in infrastructure construction, and the demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes has increased sharply. The Indian market mainly requires single-girder overhead cranes. Cranes and gantry cranes and double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes, especially in railway construction and port expansion projects, overhead cranes and gantry cranes play an important role.
- Vietnam: As one of the fast-developing Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam has an equally strong demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes. Vietnam's industrialization process has accelerated, the number of factories and logistics parks has increased, and the demand for container overhead cranes and gantry cranes has continued. Rising, the infrastructure construction projects vigorously promoted by the Vietnamese government have also created greater demand for double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes.
- Thailand: The demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes in the Thai market is mainly concentrated in the port and logistics fields. The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) plan promoted by the Thai government has made the construction of ports and logistics parks in full swing. Container overhead cranes and gantry cranes Cranes are widely used in these projects and demand continues to grow.
- UAE: As an important economy in the Middle East, the UAE's infrastructure construction and industrialization process have also driven the demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes. The UAE market has demand for high-performance, high-quality double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes. Larger, mainly used in large engineering projects and port loading and unloading operations.
- Russia: The Russian market's demand for overhead cranes and gantry cranes mainly comes from the development of its industrial and energy fields. As the Russian government increases investment in infrastructure and energy projects, the demand for double-girder overhead cranes and gantry cranes and container overhead cranes and gantry cranes has increased significantly.
