Industry statistics indicate that 565 motor graders were exported from China in August 2026, marking the end of a streak of eleven consecutive months of export growth; however, cumulative exports for the January–August period totaled 5,601 units, a year-on-year increase of 21.1%. Customs data shows that combined exports of road construction machinery and motor graders reached 957 units in August, with a total value of 548 million yuan, demonstrating continued strong momentum in overseas markets.
Regarding market distribution, thirteen countries recorded export values exceeding 100 million yuan for this product category. Brazil and Russia topped the list in terms of export value, followed closely by South Africa and Indonesia, while markets such as India, Australia, and Mexico also performed impressively. High-horsepower models saw particularly notable growth; cumulative exports of road construction machinery and motor graders exceeding 320 horsepower reached 163 units between January and August—a 117% year-on-year increase—with major shipments destined for Russia, Indonesia, and Australia. The market landscape has shifted significantly: sales volume in Russia doubled, and exports to Indonesia and Australia surged, while some traditionally popular markets experienced a decline, reflecting a rapid restructuring of global demand.
Currently, motor grader exports account for nearly 90% of total domestic sales, making them the construction machinery product with the highest export dependency. As the domestic market continues to contract, industry growth relies primarily on overseas infrastructure development. Leveraging advantages such as cost-effectiveness, machine reliability, and automatic leveling technology, Chinese-made motor graders are steadily gaining a foothold in numerous emerging infrastructure markets. Industry forecasts suggest that while overall motor grader exports will remain resilient, market divergence will intensify; the share of intelligent equipment is rising, and leading manufacturers are aggressively targeting high-value-added overseas markets.
In the face of a complex and volatile global market, professional foreign trade service providers are serving as vital bridges connecting Chinese-made equipment with overseas projects. Based in Hefei, Hefei King Kangaroo Intelligent Technology Co.,Ltd. is a leading exporter of heavy-duty trucks and construction machinery in Central China. With operations spanning over 100 countries, the company generates annual sales exceeding $100 million. It has established stable partnerships with top domestic manufacturers—such as Sinotruk, XCMG, Sany, Shantui, and LiuGong—enabling it to provide one-stop export solutions for both complete machinery and spare parts.
The company boasts a multilingual international sales team with extensive experience in the global construction machinery trade; they efficiently handle equipment inquiries from diverse markets while ensuring the supply of brand-new, genuine products at competitive prices. Furthermore, the company supports the global expansion of Chinese construction machinery through comprehensive multimodal logistics solutions and full-lifecycle after-sales services—including warranties, spare parts supply, and technical training—thereby facilitating the successful deployment of domestically produced motor graders and other engineering equipment worldwide.
