Construction: The performance of construction material industry in 2004 is featured by faster current capital turnover, declining inventory, rising economic efficiency, increasing export and improving operation status of state-owned enterprises. The demands for construction materials are also booming in 2004. However, most segments of construction materials industry have great defects. To take the iron & steel industry as an example, although the output of the industry has exceeded 300 million MT in 2005, it is of low industry concentration, scarce technological strength and the high-end products largely rely on import or manufacturing of joint ventures.
Manufacturing: The machinery industry has achieved gross industrial output value of RMB 74.33 billion, a year-on-year increase of 28.81% and profit value of RMB 4.2 billion, up by 27.81% in the first half of 2005. As of the import and export in the industry, the export delivery value has increased by over 40%, while the imported equipments are mainly products of high technology, high added-value and for key state engineering projects.
To take engineering machinery as an example, the sales of major product lines, such as hydraulic excavator, loading machine, bulldozer, crane truck and road roller, are surging with growth rate of 20%-70%. The lucrative market not only drives domestic players to enter the market or to expand manufacturing scale, but also attracts many prestigious foreign brands. All this has added up to the fierce competition in domestic engineering machinery market.
