An Analysis of the Causes of a Sharp Increase in Chinese Stone Crusher Exports to Russia

It is reported that in the first quarter of 2011, the Heihe Port exported 517 sets of stone-smashing machines for shoveling, crushed stone and sand making to Russia, and the total value of goods was 21,433,700 U.S. dollars, up 237.91% and 149.03% respectively year-on-year. Stone gravel machinery has become the leading commodity of Heihe port export machinery and equipment. Judging from the type of exports, the jaw crusher accounted for the largest share, accounting for more than half, followed by the cone crusher machine and counterattack crusher, the products are mainly Liming Heavy Industry and other famous crusher brands.

There are three main reasons why the Heihe Port's export of stone gravel machinery to Russia has risen sharply. First, the market demand for gravel machinery and construction machinery in Russia is booming. The Russian construction industry is currently booming. With the continuous rise of international crude oil prices, Russia’s economy is rapidly recovering, and oil and gas and mineral development are in great demand for gravel machinery. The rapid development of the industry, and Russia's local gravel mechanical products can not meet the needs of the domestic market, which has created enormous opportunities for Chinese gravel machinery enterprises to export to Russia.

Second, Chinese gravel machinery products are cost-effective. In recent years, China's gravel machinery manufacturing industry has risen rapidly and its products are of high quality and low cost, and are highly favored by Russian users.

The third is the unique geographical advantage of Heihe Port. Heihe port is close to the corresponding port of Blagoveshchensk in Russia and has a high specification. Compared with other ports, it has obvious advantages in product export transportation, customs declaration in Russia, and logistics sales. In particular, in terms of export transportation, there is no need for transport equipment to be loaded out of the country during the freezing period. Instead, it is exported through the self-drive way.

From another perspective, since 2000, Russia has become the fastest growing country in the world of construction, and the construction market has increased by 10% to 15% every year. Since 2011, the Russian economy has rapidly recovered and the market demand for gravel machinery continues to increase. Under the influence of rising real estate prices in Russia, the influx of investment has stimulated the vigorous development of the construction industry, which has brought tremendous business opportunities to the growth of the Russian gravel machinery and construction machinery market.

At the same time, the depreciation rate of Russia's construction and crushing machinery has reached 45% to 75%, and it is difficult for local companies to cause technology and management to fall behind and can not meet the market demand for equipment. At present, 50% of the machinery and equipment in use in the country originate from imports, accounting for 30% of total imports. With the maturity of Chinese gravel machinery products, many well-known brands have also won widespread recognition from Russian customers with higher prices. Dawning Heavy Industry Technology has already worked closely with the Russian industry for several years.
