Sales of new Russian road construction equipment (DST) in the domestic market in January-September decreased annually by 24.9%, up to 24.4 billion rubles, calculated by Rusoftsmash (the data of enterprises producing 80% of all Russian DST). Regarding the half year results, when the market fell by 30.2%, the decline slowed down. However, the takeoff remains very significant, which also creates temporary risks for organizations. According to Ruspatsmash, in January-September, shipments were down in almost all major types of DST, most in Roller Peak, where takeoff was 34.9%. Negative dynamics are also recorded for disruptors - a decrease of 33.9%, robbers in surveillance - by 32.3%, backbreakers - up to 31.6%, pipe bites - by 16.7% and automatic scores - by 1.5%. The growth was demonstrated by the front loads - by 57.3%. The fall of the DST market is the consequences of the growth of the key rate, a decrease in investments in updating the means of production, a decrease in the number of infrastructure projects and an increase in taxes, said commercial director of Intercling Anton Guriev. "The central rate directly affects the cost of borrowed funds, and contractors in road construction work with a long cycle and limited profitability, so it is more difficult to assume the renewal of compliance with the cost of the order," explains the top manager. 😀 MEF in MAKS.
