After the and , the concrete machinery will also be raised. At the beginning of January 2018, there are 31 concrete machinery manufacturers dealers received notice, concrete machinery will be in full price.
The engineering machinery manufacturers including Sany and Komatsu in the end of 2017, the price adjustment of some products indicates that the construction machinery industry is experiencing a wave of price rise this year.
In December 2017, Komatsu China informed the agency that the price of the whole model of Komatsu has been raised since January 1, 2018. Previous 9-10 months have also been the phenomenon of the collective price of loaders, Liugong, Xugong, Jin workers and other companies of the loader price collectively raised 10 thousand -2 million.
Sany dealers told reporters that the company's excavators rose 3% in January. According to the securities brokerage is expected, the domestic mainstream excavator manufacturers Sany, Liugong machinery, Xugong and Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co or will follow the Komatsu price range in about less than 10%. The price increase of large and medium-sized excavators will be larger than that of small excavators.
The high price of steel is one of the fundamental reasons for the increase in the price of the engineering machinery. Since the price of Chinese cabbage appeared in 2015, the price of steel began to rise in 2016. Since 2017, it has been fiercely affected by environmental protection, limited production and low inventory. The price of steel increased by 1000 yuan in 11-12 months in 2017. In addition, many of the parts and components manufacturers and foundries that are not up to the standard are shut down under the pressure of environmental policy. Many steel mills also start saving energy and reducing emissions, resulting in the increase of raw material prices of spare parts.
At the same time, the demand for the downstream market is still strong. After five years of sluggish period, China's construction machinery market has entered a period of restorative growth. Since the second half of 2016, the major types of construction machinery have been in a state of tight supply and demand, especially in parts and components. Soochow Securities believes that this is mainly due to the industry adjustment time is too long, and the host manufacturers' confidence in recovery is not enough, so the pressure of cost side is mainly through the scale effect.
In addition to raw material prices, the downstream market demand is strong for two reasons, the national adjustment of major technical equipment and products of key parts imported duty-free policy also is one of the important reasons for engineering machinery prices will welcome the broad, and will continue to affect next year.
"Major technical equipment and products imported key parts and raw materials catalog (2015 Amendment)" documents, which relates to the construction machinery product key parts imported duty-free duration up to most of the next two years (2017-2018 years), these imports of ordinary rate mostly in the 30% ~ 40% range.
"Domestic engineering machinery industry has a" well blowup "price increase probability is not large, but when upgrading products and adjusting product mix, it is more likely to adjust prices appropriately. A large domestic manufacturer is responsible to the reporter.
The price rise of the engineering machinery products is a big trend, which involves the cost end, the environmental protection policy, the downstream demand and so on. Soochow Securities pointed out that this round is a structural price increase. From the perspective of price increase logic, the industry concentration of higher concrete crane and crane faucet has more power and ability to raise prices.
