The Role of China in the Asian Overhead Crane Market
From the perspective of the import and export structure of cranes, China’s crane industry is generally export-oriented, with a large trade surplus, especially in Asia, which has a very broad market. Although there is a certain gap in technology with competitors in Europe and the United States, this does not affect China becoming a major crane manufacturer. In the low-end market, China has more market share due to its price advantage. Compared with European and American competitors, Chinese crane manufacturers still have a gap in technology, and they also have certain disadvantages in terms of industrial chain and product structure, but this is not out of reach. More importantly, China has never given up independent research and development in this field, and already has a considerable industrial scale, creating several world-renowned brands.
