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.

Third Quarter Summary:

The CECE Barometer continues to be on a trajectory of recovery despite a temporary setback in June. However, the gap between current business scenario and future sales expectations recently widened significantly.

Sales in Europe are still below last year’s levels, and the July Barometer results suggest that the recently started recovery could already come to a halt. On top of that, the momentum of growth in new orders has gone down, which is likely a result of increased uncertainty due to the back-and-forth on US tariffs.

CECE members have slightly positive expectations for all European market regions. Globally, the picture is less optimistic: North America and Latin America received a negative evaluation in July.
