    INTRODUCTION TO EUROPE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MARKET

    Total investment in Europe on construction was about € 1,324 Billion in 2019.

     

    UK construction outputs in 2019 were 20% lower than pre-crisis levels in 2007. Spain and Italy in particular, but also Ireland and Portugal, dragged down Europe overall. These countries had not fully recovered from the most severe downturns and were then hardest hit by the pandemic.

     

    This industry relies heavily on use of equipment and vehicles especially in construction sites and mining sites to cut down labour cost and time for the project.

     

    Brexit will be challenging for Construction equipment manufacturers as EU countries are exporting 41% of construction equipment sold in UK and trade between the UK and EU is more difficult and expensive from January 2021

    EUROPE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT MARKET DYNAMICS

    The first of 2020 came up with much better construction data than expected, but COVID-19 hit and led to a strong downturn, with a total construction decline of 9%, which is less than the overall economic decline of 12%. The downturn hit the service sector stronger than any prior crisis. The construction industry was affected by the pandemic twice. Construction sites had to be closed for around one week in Germany and nearly eight weeks in France and the UK.

     

    In recent history there have never been lockdowns. From August 2020 there is an 11.5% decline in total construction output.

     

    Spanish construction output fell sharply in 2020, recording a contraction of 18.2% in Q4 2020. The lockdown measures imposed by the government in November and the subsequent weakening in economic conditions severely hampered output in the country’s construction industry in 2020. However, it is expected a strong recovery in 2021.

     

    For 2021, the forecast amounts to a growth of 4.1%. Until 2023 total construction output in the Europe is likely to reach € 1.73 trillion and to exceed the pre-corona level of 2019 by € 28 billion or 1.7%.

     

    Europe’s largest construction project, London’s Crossrail is expected to cost over £17.6 billion. The project – “Elizabeth Line” is a 73 mile underground and overground railway line connecting 41 stations across the capital.

     

    Connecting the French and Italian high-speed rail networks, the 270-kilometre Lyon-Turin High-Speed Railway is one of Europe’s most ambitious infrastructure schemes with a price tag of €25BN. Work has begun in 2019 and is expected to take 10 years to complete.

     

    Brexit has made trade more expensive and difficult as additional costs and longer lead times are expected. Higher costs may result from tariffs. Because tariffs on construction machines are generally low, the concern relates to tariffs on intermediate products of the supply chains, which are difficult to quantify.

     

    The EU and the UK committed to zero tariffs on industrial goods but High costs will also originate from the reintroduction of customs formalities, as custom declarations will be needed for every consignment.

     

    A Memorandum of Understanding extending cooperation between the two continental organizations was signed by the presidents of ICEMA and CECE. The signing was announced at the conclusion of the first virtual CECE-ICEMA Summit of its kind.

     

    The Memorandum of Understanding outlines the conditions under which CECE and ICEMA will cooperate on a bilateral basis. Understanding reciprocal market developments and enhancing market access and international trade are the main goals of the collaboration.

     

    Together, CECE and ICEMA promise to work toward greater cooperation in the areas of regulatory convergence, information sharing, and market openness. The markets in Europe and India both present enormous potential for the construction equipment sector.

     

    The EU and Indian construction equipment industries will advance in key areas of shared interest thanks to joint efforts and dialogues between the two global associations.

     

    In order to provide customers with digital transformation for earthmoving equipment in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Komatsu’s Smart Construction digital platform has partnered with Kuhn Bohemia, a division of Komatsu Distributor Kuhn Group.
