As a major European country, France has good economic and trade ties with China. Under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, Sino-French economic and trade imports and exports in the first half of 2021 increased by US$11,179.825 million compared with the same period in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 39%. However, for Dongqi Crane, the sales volume in the French crane market is very gloomy, with only 2 cooperation projects. On the one hand, there are many well-known crane brands in Europe, and on the other hand, due to the skyrocketing sea freight costs brought about by the epidemic, the cost perFormance of Chinese cranes has been greatly reduced. Even so, we still have strong confidence in the European market, and the research on the French crane market will help us to open up the local market.
