Italy鈥檚 CE Sales Drop in 2024
In the twelve months of 2024, 22,013 construction equipment were placed on the Italian market, marking a 11 per cent decrease compared to 2023. More specifically, 20,988 earth moving machines (-12 per cent) and 1,025 road machines (+9 per cent) were sold in 2024. These figures have been released by Unacea, the Italian construction equipment association.
鈥淒espite the reduction in sales of earthmoving machines, a positive note comes from road machines, which shows a countertrend in a generally less favourable context - said Michele Vitulano, president of Unacea. Unacea had anticipated this physiological decline, hoping that construction and infrastructure activity levels could still meet the country鈥檚 needs.鈥�
Foreign trade is also down, as indicated by the latest Unacea foreign trade report. Exports between January and October 2024 surpassed Euro 2.6 billion, recording a -8 per cent compared to the same period in 2023. Imports also showed a negative trend, decreasing by 5 per cent to Euro 1.8 billion. Trade balance remains in surplus by nearly 鈧�845 million, but with a 13 per cent decline compared to the previous year.
Unacea is the Italian trade association for construction equipment. Founded in 2010, it counts around 90 member companies and a rate of representativeness in terms of turnover of 80 per cent, both in producing and importing of all types of equipment: earthmoving, road, concrete, drilling, attachment, and tower cranes.
