Against the backdrop of profound adjustments in the global economic landscape, the construction machinery industry is ushering in a new round of development and transformation. The latest release of the 2025 Global Top 50 Construction Machinery Manufacturers list reveals a decline in overall industry sales. However, Chinese enterprises have demonstrated outstanding performance, not only leading the world in the number of listed companies but also achieving significant progress in international development and quality improvement.Recently, the 2025 Top 50 Global Construction Machinery Manufacturers list was officially released. Data shows that the total sales of the Top 50 companies reached $222.528 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 8.02%; operating profit was $30.301 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 10.86%. The average operating profit margin of the industry was 13.62%, a slight year-on-year decrease of 0.43 percentage points; the average return on assets was 5.00%, a decrease of 1.32 percentage points.

In terms of national distribution, the Top 50 companies come from 13 countries. Chinese companies continue to maintain a leading position in terms of quantity, with a total of 13 companies on the list.Japan and the United States followed closely with 11 and 6 companies respectively, while Germany, Sweden, South Korea, and France also had multiple companies on the list.

Although Chinese companies still lag behind their European, American, and Japanese counterparts in terms of profitability, their overall operating profit margins have improved significantly compared to previous years. Analysis indicates that this change is due to the continuous breakthroughs of Chinese companies in technology research and development and product innovation, especially the continuous expansion in the field of "large-scale and high-end" products, which has significantly enhanced the international influence of Chinese brands.

The average proportion of overseas sales of the Chinese companies on this year's list has reached 41%.94%, with the company with the highest proportion of overseas sales exceeding 77%. The active expansion of overseas markets is powerfully driving Chinese companies to shift from scale growth to improved operational quality.

The Top 50 Global Construction Machinery Manufacturers list is jointly released by the organizing committee of the Top 50 Global Construction Machinery Summit and "China Construction Machinery" magazine, and has been published for 26 consecutive years since 1999. The list is based on sales revenue and is an important indicator for measuring the market position of global construction machinery companies.In the future, with the in-depth advancement of the "overseas expansion with improved quality" strategy, Chinese construction machinery enterprises are expected to play a more important role in the global market, contributing more Chinese strength to global infrastructure construction.
