2007 shows a positive situation for the machinery of forest use and gardening, according to Ansemat
March 27, 2008
The experts of the Committee on forestry machinery and green spaces of Ansemat valued good weather year-round, the development of the market and the strength of the national and European product imports. Estimates of the Group consider that there is a market of the future will depend on the weather factor.
The year 2007 has shown good results despite slower growth in the second half, directly related to the weather. European markets have functioned in a similar way. Thus, for example the French market has grown with interesting behaviors of some machines like the motoazadas. Comparing us with Europe, the Spanish is an important market, away from the French giant, but excels in the desbrozadoras and motoazadas. You are still noticing the presence of Asian products, especially electrical machinery. Countries such as Italy or Greece are being "invaded" by machinery of Chinese origin, with copies of European and Japanese machinery that are sold at prices much lower, (even to 50 per cent), but "the quality of which is negligible".
In the Spanish market this influence is noted especially in the lawn mower and cortasetos, while in chainsaws, there is a sharp decline in imports from China is expected to continue for at least three years. At the moment these countries are developing new technology for better quality and with other standards of manufacture.
