ZOOMLION's earthmoving machinery business reported revenue of RMB 5.281 billion in the first half of 2026, up 23.02% year-on-year, according to the company's semi-annual report. The segment accounted for approximately 19.46% of total revenue and has become ZOOMLION's largest export business by scale.

Domestic sales grew over 24.19% year-on-year, while export sales rose over 22.7%, both outpacing industry averages. ZOOMLION's excavator export volume ranked among the top three Chinese brands, and its 100-ton-class and above large excavators held a top-three position in the domestic market. Mini excavators also recorded rapid volume growth as the company's domestic channel strategy continued to mature.

The H1 result builds on ZOOMLION's long-term expansion in earthmoving. The business entered the segment through a RMB 34 million acquisition in 2008 and reached RMB 9.672 billion in revenue by 2025, with export growth exceeding 57% that year. ZOOMLION has positioned its mini excavator production line, launched in September 2025, primarily for overseas markets, while focusing on mid-to-large excavators priced roughly 10% below CAT and KOMATSU equivalents.

The company said earthmoving remains one of its core strategic segments, supported by overseas mining development and infrastructure demand. ZOOMLION plans to further expand its large excavator portfolio and deepen distribution networks across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, where demand for 100-ton-class and above equipment is growing fastest.
