CECE Business Barometer

Every month CECE asks around 220 senior European construction equipment industry representatives about their opinion on the state of industry. The objective is to obtain a regular business trend indicator and describe the economic climate.

The CECE Business Climate Index summarizes the survey answers on the evaluation of the current business situation and the expectations for the next 6 months regarding sales.

While detailed results including all questions are exclusively available for participants, a summary is available to all CECE members quarterly.

Second Quarter Summary:

The recovery of industry sentiments continues for more than half a year now, further fueled by a very successful bauma exhibition.

While current business is still considered negative by a majority of manufacturers, future expectations are getting more and more optimistic. Order intake is meanwhile growing both in Europe and on international markets, and sales are expected to bottom out in the second quarter.

When it comes to market regions, all European markets are seen positive with Western and Southern Europe leading the ranks. Internationally, concerns about the North American market are growing further, while India is still seen most optimistic.
