Future outlook: 100 billion market and structural opportunities

Nov 12,2021

Market size forecast
China Research Institute Puhua predicts that by 2030, the market size of China's road rollers will exceed 150 billion yuan, of which intelligent and green equipment will account for more than 50%. The demand for road maintenance brought about by urban renewal (5.5 million kilometers of road maintenance mileage in China) and the expansion of overseas markets (infrastructure investment in Southeast Asia and Africa grew at an average annual rate of 9.7%) will be the main growth drivers.
Technological breakthrough direction
Digital twin technology: Optimize construction parameters through virtual simulation, reduce material waste by 18% and rework by 25%.
Hydrogen fuel cell: The hydrogen fuel paver developed by XCMG can operate stably at minus 30°C, filling the technical gap in the industry.
Full life cycle management: The proportion of service revenue is expected to increase from the current 15% to 30%, covering equipment leasing, second-hand recycling, remote operation and maintenance and other fields.
Policy dividends released
The "Transportation Power" strategy and the "Belt and Road" initiative will continue to promote the upgrading of the industry. For example, the demand for high-end rollers in national key projects such as the Sichuan-Tibet Railway and the Jinsha River Hydropower Station will force enterprises to increase R&D investment and enhance product competitiveness.
