The Chinese lifting equipment industry has undergone a profound transformation from 'scale driven' to 'technology led' in the past decade, with the core path being the triple breakthrough of intelligent manufacturing upgrading, green energy transformation, and global market expansion. The industry scale has jumped from about 120 billion yuan in 2016 to 185 billion yuan in 2025, with gantry cranes accounting for over 35% of sales and CR5 concentration reaching 66%. Leading enterprises have restructured their production paradigm through 'leading level intelligent factories': Sany Heavy Industry has a welding automation rate of over 70%, and Zoomlion has built the world's first collaborative and shared intelligent factory for construction machinery, achieving mixed production of multiple varieties; The large-scale implementation of 5G+AI remote control, digital twin, and unmanned tower crane technology has increased lifting efficiency by more than 15%, with a defect detection rate of over 99%. Tower crane drivers have shifted from the high-altitude cockpit to the ground intelligent control center. The penetration of new energy power is accelerating, and XCMG and Zoomlion have launched 100 ton electric/hybrid cranes. The penetration rate of electric equipment is expected to exceed 25% by 2025. The export volume has increased steadily for five consecutive years, reaching US $4.87 billion in 2024, accounting for more than 80% of the global market. Relying on the 'the Belt and Road', Zoomlion and XCMG have established a localized service network in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Zoomlion and XCMG have led the development of a number of international standards, and achieved the transition from 'products going to sea' to 'standard going to sea'. The industry is accelerating towards a new stage of high-quality productivity characterized by high precision, intelligence, zero carbon, and global presence.
