Komatsu Inc. - 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 Komatsu Ltd. for the near to medium term horizon pivoted around Komatsu's plan to create value through manufacturing & technology innovation for a sustainable future under the 'Komatsu in 203X' vision.
The Global Construction Equipment market witnessed a relatively limited impact from the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 albeit expectations of an impending 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 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.
