In the first quarter of this year, the import and export of construction machinery products were affected by the COVID-19 at home and abroad and the domestic market. On the basis of continuous decline last year, the import volume continued to decline at an accelerated rate. 1、 The cumulative import volume in February decreased by 25.2%, and the decline in March continued the trend of the previous two months. With the continuous development of the epidemic in countries such as Europe and America, it is expected that the trend of import decline will continue this year. Exports experienced rapid growth from 2017 to 2018, followed by a slow growth in 2019. In the first two months of this year, due to the impact of the epidemic, there was a decrease of over 20%. In March, the decrease slightly slowed down, dropping by 13.3%, with a cumulative decrease of 17.6% in the first quarter. It is expected that the impact of the epidemic will continue to suppress the rebound of exports this year. The summary of import and export classification of construction machinery products from January to March 2020 is shown in the attached table.
