RUCK WORLD: THE RANKING 2011

Who would have thought that the world economy recovers so fast? The market for trucks is still not at the level of 2007/2008 - he must also not be, after all it was a rather "unhealthy period." The development of the world market, Hans-Georg Frey, Chairman of the Board of Jungheinrich AG, extensively illustrated in his speech to the AGM 2011, from this we quote:
"Unexpectedly, positive trend in the reporting period, the world economy whose economic recovery is a remarkable dynamism, especially in the second half unfolded. Original forecasts had predicted for 2010, only a moderate growth were adjusted during the year several times and always drew a benign picture of the future economic development. Our industry has benefited greatly from the economic boom. The global demand for industrial trucks moved significantly ....

After the massive slump in the global market volume for industrial trucks in 2009 to only 547 000 units in 2010, it rose by an impressive 45% to around 795 000 units. Asia recorded - pushed by its reliable growth engine China - the largest increase with 55%, followed by North America, which ended with a gain of 38% decline in its market development for several years. Europe grew by 32%, what was Eastern Europe, with an increase of 95% involved a disproportionate rate. However, the massive market downturn is precisely in this region to be considered in the previous year. Western Europe made it difficult to start in early 2010 to 22%.

With Asia in 2009 had caught up the number of units with a share of 37% with Europe, it took over in 2010 with a share of 40%. This alone accounted for 25% to China.

A tendency to shift also took place in the product segments. The counterbalanced lift trucks drive verbrennungsmotorischem were up against the bearing technology. Internal Combustion Engine Forklift with 46% make the biggest part of the world market.

Of the global market recovery benefited all product segments, but the increase in vehicles bearing technology turned out as expected, significantly lower than for counterbalance trucks. This is due to the fact that the counterbalance forklift in 2009 were affected by an accelerated decline and is now revealed by a correspondingly greater recovery potential for this product segment.
A look at the evolution of market volumes revealed that the Chinese market has weathered the crisis virtually unscathed, and in the reporting period is a "real" growth laid out the day. This means that the market has exceeded the level before the crisis. Unlike the Russian market, which had virtually disappeared in 2009, and in the context of strong economic recovery in 2010 attracted what was owed in the first place a large potential for recovery, where the volume was still below pre-crisis levels.
