The overall performance of the Japanese construction machinery industry declines

2021-12-16 10:51:51 According to the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" report, statistics from the Japan Construction Machinery Industry Association show that in June this year, the export value of Japanese construction machinery products was 195.1 billion yen, a decrease of 3% from the same period last year, and a year-on-year decline for 30 consecutive months. ; Among them, the export value to China dropped by 74% year-on-year, and it has been declining year-on-year for 12 months. In addition, due to the negative impact of the massive use of shale gas on fuel coal mining, the scale of mining in major producing areas such as Indonesia has shrunk, and the demand for mining machinery has also decreased.

Komatsu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. announced at the end of July its highest earnings forecast for the 2012 fiscal year, which dropped from the original estimate of 315 billion yen to 262 billion yen; sales expected to fall from 2.1 trillion yen to 1.97 trillion yen, a decrease in proportion 1%; its sales plan in the China market has been reduced from 200 billion yen to 150 billion yen. Kobe Steel's sales and earnings in the second quarter of this year fell by 18% and 65% from the same period last year. The 2012 fiscal year sales and earnings expectations were revised down by 1% and 52%, respectively. In addition, Hitachi Construction Machinery's fiscal year 2012 earnings are expected to decrease by 6 billion yen. According to the analysis of the report, one of the main reasons for the slowdown or even decline in the overall performance growth of the Japanese construction machinery industry is the decrease in demand for construction machinery products in major markets such as Central Europe.
