XCMG Makes Global Top Three on KHL's Yellow Table 2021 for the First Time
XUZHOU, China, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With an annual revenue of $15.1 billion, leading Chinese construction machinery manufacturer XCMG (SHE:000425) has moved up to a historic third place in the Yellow Table 2021 ranking of the world's top 50 construction equipment manufacturers released by British publisher KHL Group, the highest-ranking company among Chinese manufacturers.
In 2020, the total revenue of Chinese companies recorded significant growth, contributing $191.5 billion to global OEM sales which accounted for more than 20 percent for the first time, with China overtaking the United States as the number one construction equipment manufacturing power in the world.
"Although China's 'super large-scale market' has brought huge development opportunities to the Chinese construction machinery industry, in the long run, China's integration into the global market is an irreversible trend. As China continues to strengthen its position in the global economic arena, our equipment manufacturing industry will see significant growth on a global scale," said Wang Min, chairman and CEO of XCMG.
China's construction machinery manufacturers have achieved major breakthroughs in product and technological innovations, with high-end, large-scale and intelligent equipment products springing up one after another – not only leading the trends across Chinese and global construction industry, but also serving as major forces in many key construction projects. This growing product competitiveness is enabling Chinese construction equipment to substitute imported products across the board.

XCMG's globally collaborative R&D system has conquered key technologies to contribute many "firsts" – the world's largest crawler crane XGC88000, "mining giant" 700-ton hydraulic excavator, ultra-class wheel loader XC9350, as well as more than 100 units of major equipment.
To embrace the digital age and better serve customers, XCMG has promoted digital, intelligent and unmanned transformation and upgrading. It has launched the key digital product XCMG-Global Service System (X-GSS) to provide accurate, value-added and satisfactory maintenance support for global customers.
As of now, XCMG owns more than 7,500 authorized patents, more than 1,700 patents for invention and 81 PCT international patents, and it has set four international standards.
