This report analyses the Chinese market for skid-steer loaders, and is an update of the study that was last published on the subject in July 2021. It assesses the current market conditions and recent developments in domestic skid-steer loader production and sales, and presents OffHighway Research’s market forecast for the next five years.

Compact tracked loaders, which is now a growing sector in the global market but represents a very small fraction of the Chinese market, are briefly referred to in the report, as a related but separate sector from skid-steer loaders.

The findings presented in this report are based on information obtained from key suppliers and distributors in an interview programme that was conducted during the first half of 2023.
