In 2025, after experiencing fluctuations in recent years, China’s road roller industry is now embracing a new round of development opportunities. As a key piece of equipment in infrastructure construction, the market demand for road rollers is closely related to macroeconomic policies, infrastructure investment and technological innovation.
In recent years, the sales of road rollers in China have been significantly affected by the sluggish real estate industry. Data shows that after reaching a peak of 19,479 units in 2020, the industry sales volume dropped to 14,148 units in 2023. However, at the beginning of 2025, the market showed signs of recovery. In particular, demand from countries along the “Belt and Road” saw a significant increase. Domestic enterprises have expanded their overseas markets through the “Belt and Road Initiative”. In first half of the year 2025, the export proportion of road rollers has exceeded 40% of the total sales volume.
Despite the promising outlook, the industry still faces multiple challenges. In the future, enterprises need to enhance core technology research and development , optimize industrial chain collaboration, and take advantage of policy dividends to expand into emerging markets.
