The current process of improving the quality and efficiency of the domestic infrastructure industry continues to advance, and special industrial policies provide a solid guarantee for the high-quality development of the rotary drilling rig industry. Based on national policy guidelines such as the "Special Action for Green Manufacturing and Intelligent Upgrading of Construction Machinery (2025-2027)", the industry has clarified the direction of green, intelligent, and high-end upgrading, and listed rotary drilling rigs as a key pilot category for the renovation of pile equipment. Policies comprehensively regulate industry emission standards, promote the popularization of full hydraulic technology, and push for the landing of new energy models, forcing the industry to eliminate old and outdated equipment and accelerate product iteration and upgrading. At the same time, major domestic transportation projects, urban renewal, new infrastructure and other projects continue to be implemented, providing a stable and essential market for rotary drilling rigs. With the support of import and export trade policies, the industry development environment continues to optimize, and the overall operating situation is stable and improving.
After years of technological breakthroughs and industrial accumulation, China's rotary drilling rig industry has completely achieved domestic substitution, and the market discourse power is firmly in the hands of local enterprises. By 2025, the market share of domestically produced rotary drilling rigs has exceeded 92%, completely reversing the monopoly of overseas equipment markets. Top domestic enterprises such as XCMG, Sany Heavy Industry, and Zoomlion have formed a stable first tier in the industry, occupying nearly 70% of the domestic market share. With mature product systems, stable construction performance, and high cost-effectiveness advantages, they have fully replaced imported equipment. Nowadays, domestic substitution is no longer limited to the sales of complete machines, but has extended to key components such as core hydraulic systems, intelligent control systems, and heavy-duty drill rods, achieving independent and controllable control of the entire industry chain, and continuously raising industry competition barriers.
Domestic construction machinery enterprises continue to deepen their technological innovation, promote the iteration of rotary drilling rig products towards large tonnage, intelligence, and new energy, and achieve global leading performance. At present, domestic models have overcome multiple technical challenges such as ultra deep pile foundations, hard rock construction, and complex geological operations. Multiple of the world's largest tonnage and largest aperture extended range and electric rotary drilling rigs have been put into mass production, which can adapt to various high difficulty construction scenarios such as cross sea projects, super high-rise buildings, and high-altitude infrastructure. At the same time, digital technologies such as intelligent scheduling, full traceability, and automatic control are widely adopted, greatly improving equipment construction efficiency and safety stability. Compared with traditional models, they have lower energy consumption, lower noise, and more convenient operation and maintenance. They have performed far better than similar imported equipment in various major infrastructure projects, and their technological leading advantages continue to be highlighted.
Relying on a well-established industrial chain and mature product iteration capabilities, domestically produced rotary drilling rigs accurately adapt to diversified infrastructure needs at home and abroad, and the market radiation range continues to expand. In the domestic market, the equipment comprehensively covers urban and rural infrastructure, transportation networks, water conservancy projects, urban renewal and other scenarios, adapting to the construction needs of different geology and working conditions. Its adaptability and practicality are widely recognized by the market. In the overseas market, relying on the advantages of multilateral cooperation of SCO and connectivity along the the Belt and Road, the export channels of domestic rotary drilling rigs continue to be unblocked. With high cost performance, low operation and maintenance costs, and a perfect after-sales system, they continue to seize market shares in Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The number of overseas orders has steadily risen, becoming the core main product of domestic engineering equipment going overseas.
Overall, the domestic rotary drilling rig industry has entered a virtuous development cycle of sustained policy benefits, continuous iteration of technological innovation, and continuous expansion of market demand. The policy side continues to guide the green and intelligent transformation of industries, standardize the development order of industries, achieve full chain autonomy and controllability in the industry side, and lead the world in technological strength. The market side has both internal and external demand growth and full development resilience. In the future, with the continuous promotion of new infrastructure and cross-border infrastructure cooperation, domestic rotary drilling rigs will continue to leverage their multiple advantages in technology, cost, service, and supply chain, constantly refresh industry technical standards, consolidate their global leading position, and provide solid equipment support for the landing of domestic and foreign infrastructure projects. The industry has broad and promising long-term development prospects.
