1. **Recent Tendering and Procurement Dynamics (June 2025)** - **Polyland'scurement of Damping Gel for the Qinghua Expressway Project** - Purchasing 16 sets of damping gel for single steel drum rollersModel LORD SM-1131-026), requiring the price to include tax and freight, with a payment term of 60 days, and delivery toingyuan, Guangdong. - **Procurement Trends**: Large-scale projects generally extend payment cycles (e.g., 60), increasing financial pressure on suppliers; strict original equipment model specifications highlight high requirements for durability.

2. **Dazhong Mining's urgent purchase of filter element components** - Purchasing multiple batches of accessories such as Sany SSR260C-6S road roller air filter elements and fuel filter elements for equipment maintenance in mining industry sites, with urgent delivery required (within 7 days after), and the frequency of accessory replacement under harsh conditions is 30% higher than that of ordinary engineering. 3. **Jinan Yellow River Road's phased payment purchase of hydraulic parts** - Purchasing accessories such as Bomag double steel wheel road roller hydraulic hoses and air conditioning compressors, payments completed in stages over 5 years (30% in the first year, 100% in the fifth year), and technical terms require compliance with original factory.

2. Market Trends and Size 1. **Global Roller Market Continues to Recover** - The global double steel wheel market size reached **$8.989 billion** in 2024 and is expected to increase to **$12.589 billion** by 033, with a CAGR of 4.3%. The main drivers of growth are infrastructure investment in the Asia-Pacific region (accounting for 40 of global demand) and road maintenance and upgrades in Europe and the United States. - In China, the sales volume of rollers increased by 6.5%-on-year in the first two months of 2024, ending a continuous decline. 2. **Accessories Segment Market Explosion Points** - **Hydraulic Fittings**: The global market size for high-pressure pipeline accessories will reach **2.64 billion yuan** in 205 and break through **3.8 billion yuan** in 2032, with more than 35% of the application in engineering machinery. **Smart Accessories**: The penetration rate of GPS compaction monitoring systems is increasing, driving the demand for sensors and control modules, accounting for 25% of the accessories for models.

3. Technology Development Dynamics 1. **Accelerated Intelligent and Electrification Transformation** - **Intelligent Comction System**: Wirtgen and Caterpillar have launched rollers integrated with GPS to monitor compaction density in real-time, reducing rework rates. Approximately 2% of new models come standard with automated functions. - **Rising Demand for Electric Accessories**: Driven by emission regulations, the European market has seen a 0% annual increase in the purchase of battery modules for hybrid rollers and low-power hydraulic pumps. 2. **Material Innovation Enhances Accessories' Lifespan - **Upgraded Vibration Compound**: Upgraded to polyurethane composites (such as LORD SM-1131 series), lifespan is30% higher than traditional rubber. - **Lightweight Stainless Steel for Hydraulic Piping**: With corrosion resistance becoming a key competitive factor, lightweight steel is being used more in high-pressure scenarios, with a 20% increase in penetration rate.

IV. Regional Market Hotspots - **East China**: Intensive road construction projects launched in Shandong and Jiangsu, with Jin Yellow River Road Bridge purchasing BOMAG parts, reflecting strong demand for after-sales services of high-end brands. - **Northwest Mining Area**: Dazhong purchases filters for mining sites, with a 30% higher frequency of parts replacement under harsh working conditions compared to ordinary road construction. - **Export Opportunities**: War infrastructure in Southeast Asia, Chinese roller parts accelerate going global with a cost-performance advantage (15-20% lower than European and American brands)

5. Competitive Landscape and Supply Chain 1. **International Giants Dominate the High-End Market** - The hydraulic connectors is monopolized by European companies (Hy-Lok, VOSS) with a 35% market share, while South Korean companies (DK-LOK) enter mid-end market with price strategies. - Caterpillar and Bomag deepen local production, reducing component supply chain costs by 10%-15% 2. **Domestic Manufacturers' Breakthrough Path** - **Binding with Main Engine Manufacturers**: Sany and LiuGong prioritize purchasing authorized supplier, and small and medium-sized manufacturers need to accelerate obtaining original equipment manufacturer certifications. - **Cluster Effect**: Enterprises in North China (Cangzhou Qcheng Hydraulic) and East China form regional component supply networks, shortening the response time to 48 hours.
