Although 2020 might feel like a difficult year for many, the used heavy equipment and trucks market has remained strong with its pricing and demand. In auction sales, which pivoted successfully from an on-site model to an on-line business model in a matter of days, the pricing on machines has only dropped by a few percentages. With listings, Mascus has noticed a somewhat longer sales period during 2020, but also only by a small percentage. All in all, the market for used heavy equipment and trucks has managed to remain in strong shape. Here, the support from government and banks in most European countries has been of utmost importance and the key to a positive outcome.
At the beginning of 2021, a breath of optimism emerged in the market. OEM’s production lines have restarted and are up to full capacity while everyone is expecting to go back to a normal business pace. Mascus is looking forward to continuing its data analysis going into 2021 and supply these market insights. It is also continuously working on improving valuation support system and capital adequacy services to match and supersede future requirements from clients.
