America was not alone however, in experiencing a considerable decline. Nearly all world regions recorded high single-digit or double-digit declines, with the exception of Africa, which experienced double-digit growth in exports, according to the AEM report.

The 10 countries who purchased the most US-made construction machinery during Q1 2014 were (in order): Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Saudi Arabia, China and Belgium.
