Exports of US-made construction equipment fell 25% overall year-on-year in the first nine months of 2016, for a total US$8.2 billion shipped to global markets. All world regions were in decline, from single-digit drops for Europe and Central America to decreases in the 50% range for Africa and South America, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), citing US Department of Commerce data it uses in global market reports for members.
