Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.- Annual Strategy Dossier - 2021 - Strategic Focus, Key Strategies & Plans, SWOT, Trends & Growth Opportunities, Market Outlook
The 2021 annual edition of the report analyses the overall strategy focus and provides Insights into & Comprehensive analysis of the Strategies & Plans being conceptualized & likely to be pursued by Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. for the near to medium term horizon with Hitachi gearing up for the age of Autonomous, Connected and Electric construction equipment through broadening of internal technological capabilities by harnessing technology start-ups with underlying plans to develop autonomous mining equipment featuring IoT and AI technologies starting with ultra-large hydraulic excavators for mining over near term. Additionally, China forms a key pivot of Hitachi's growth plans going forward with the company focusing on the 12-20 Ton class excavator segment for the near term with expansion of the existing product line-up through new product introductions featuring connected technologies.
The Global Construction Equipment market witnessed a relatively limited impact from the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 albeit expectations of an impending, major market correction with the market resistance led clearly by the Chinese Construction Equipment & Heavy Truck markets which clearly defied the contractionary trend witnessed globally by registering strong, double digit year on year gains in unit sales for 2020 spurred by the roll-out of stimulus measures by the Chinese government aimed at bolstering economy after an early recovery & resurgence from the lockdown in April 2020 itself. The global demand for construction equipment is projected to register a steady recovery & growth over near to medium term with most key global economies likely to witness an uptick in demand following similar fiscal interventions likely to be pursued & sustained by governments across most regions going forward coupled with strong global economic recovery projections by the IMF for 2021 & 2022, led by the U.S., which is projected to exceed its pre-COVID economic growth momentum & clock 6.4% GDP growth for 2021.
Further, the massive, $2 trillion infrastructure plan just outlined by the Biden administration in early April 2021 geared towards comprehensive repair & rebuilding of roads, railroads, bridges & ports in the U.S. could turn out to be the much needed shot in the arm for the construction industry going forward and could take the market towards & even beyond the demand peak of 2018, and seen prior to that in 2011, once again, with an outlay of $115 billion planned towards repair of highways & bridges alone, if it gets approved by the Congress. However, much of that will be contingent on the pace & trajectory of global macroeconomic recovery from the COVID-19 going forward, direction of U.S. policy posture towards global trade under Biden administration, sustainment of recovery in global crude oil as well as commodity prices, all of which will have a direct & significant bearing on the shape of the growth curve for the industry going forward.
