2018 January excavator sales growth or up to 200%
In January, sales are expected to grow by 200% or more than 30% in the first quarter.
According to our industry chain research, it is expected that sales growth in January is up to 200%, mainly in the Spring Festival in January last year, and the base number is low.

The price of the whole model of Komatsu is up, the price of construction machinery is rising or trend
Komatsu (China) has informed agents that the price of all Komatsu models has been raised since January 1, 2018, mainly due to the impact of national environmental policies, and the increase of labor and raw material prices leads to the increase of production costs. In fact, from the beginning of September this year, XCMG, SDJG,Lonking have begun to rise in the price of some products is more sensitive to the cost, such as , bulldozers, etc.. We believe that the price increase is expected to become the Komatsu engineering machinery industry price signals, especially in the current situation of the stock continued to dig in, the main brands will follow the trend of price estimation of . In addition, the price increase of products has begun to spread to other kinds of construction machinery, such as concrete machinery, lifting machinery and so on. The whole industry is going up or becoming a trend. It is good for engineering machinery enterprises to release their profit elasticity. We are optimistic about the price increase of construction machinery industry.
