Infrastructure, depreciation replacement to become warmer biggest boost

At present, the domestic industry situation to a good, manufacturers have varying degrees of market shortage. This wave of industry, not only is the national level of good policy release and infrastructure investment, at the same time, the mining industry and agriculture, forestry drives effective recovery of old equipment replacement, and the shortage of rural labor force, to further accelerate the popularization rate of equipment.

14, according to the macroeconomic data released by the National Bureau of statistics show that investment in infrastructure 1-2 month cumulative increase of 21.26%, higher than the same period last year and last year growth of 5.55%, is a major factor in the growth rate of fixed asset investment rebound. In March 5th the "government work report", the prime minister also made clear "this year to complete the 800 billion yuan investment in railway construction, highway and waterway investment of 1 trillion and 800 billion yuan, and then started 15 major water conservancy projects, continue to strengthen rail transport, civil aviation and Telecommunications major projects of infrastructure construction." The industry predicts that in 2017 China's infrastructure investment will increase by more than 20%, the overall size of about 16 trillion yuan.

Good!

In addition to infrastructure investment, construction machinery industry depreciation replacement is also a big boost. It is understood that the average life expectancy of construction machinery products is about 8~10, and this year from the outbreak of 2008 is just 9 years, in a new peak of depreciation. In recent years, the proportion of new demand for depreciation continues to increase, and after calculations, such as excavator depreciation replacement demand has accounted for 70% of the overall demand.

After 5 years of winter period, the whole construction machinery industry began warmed up, terminal sales agents, accelerated, full payment proportion increased gradually, the host plant cash flow increase. To XCMG, Zoomlion, Liugong as an example: in 2016 the Xugong operating cash flow of more than 22 times, an increase in operating cash flow of 2 billion 169 million yuan, for the first time, Liugong positive operating cash flow of 1 billion 378 million yuan over the past three years, an increase of 848%. And its accounts receivable balance has shown a gradual decline trend, the accounts receivable balances of XCMG and Liugong are down 14.53% and 16.88% respectively. With the continued warming in the first quarter, the balance of accounts receivable of enterprises will be significantly improved!
