[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Infracore is showing rapid growth in the domestic mini excavator market, which was mostly dominated by imported products.

Doosan Infracore announced on the 26th that domestic mini excavator sales from January to September this year increased by 192% compared to the same period last year. Compared to 2018, the figure has increased by 300%.

The domestic mini excavator market size last year was about 3,000 units, with Japanese products holding a 90% market share.

Doosan Infracore has been steadily increasing its market share by launching the new 1.7-ton model 'DX17z-5' in July last year, which accounts for about half of the mini excavator market. This year, it will also release an upgraded version of the 3.5-ton 'DX35z-5', which was introduced when the company entered the domestic market in 2017.

A Doosan Infracore official said, "The company has 38 service centers nationwide and offers a special warranty program of 3 years or 6,000 hours for key components such as engines," adding, "We will change the landscape of the domestic mini excavator market in the future."
