Global equipment sales boosted by China stimulus: Off-Highway Research

Management consultancy specialists, Off-Highway Research, has determined that the rise in global construction equipment sale rates in 2020 from its previous values is in response to large-scale spending stimulus implemented by China.

The Chinese government had introduced some stimulus measures to restore the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic as construction works are mostly considered vital across the globe.

During the pre-pandemic era, Off-Highway foretold that the equipment sales might face a downfall after its rise in the two consecutive years before. The construction equipment sales were assumed to hit a roughly 5% drop. By introducing huge investments the market rose to a 30% hike from the already steadily increasing levels from 2019.

By incorporating compaction equipment, the construction equipment sales jumped to 412,000 units and beyond along with an increase of 480,000 units by including mobile cranes.

The construction works in China had bloomed amidst the Covid-19 pandemic along with the other markets from various parts of the world due to the constant efforts in continuing the projects even during a crisis.

The launching of stimulus and continuing construction work even during the pandemic has boosted China's sales rates in 2020 from the predictions made.
