At a time when BMI’s automotives analysts believe that vehicle sales will substantially affected by oil prices – which we believe will remain above US$70/bbl for the next decade - BMI presents a new report; Carrying The Load: The Role of The Central and East European Commercial Vehicles Market. With our automotives analysts anticipating that the region’s commercial vehicle segment will grow by over 55% by 2012, highlighting the importance of early market access, we assess:

  • Key industry trends and growth dynamics for each market, including BMI’s independent 5-year industry forecasts to end-2012.
  • Industry developments within the commercial vehicle segment, including regulatory changes and key player projects
  • Market prospects via our Company Profiles and competitive intelligence on all major commercial vehicle producers in each state (see full list below).

The potential is impressive: We believe that the new EU member states hold the biggest potential, with Slovakia’s commercial vehicle market set to more than double over the next five years.

But growth potential is not uniform across the region: Some markets have suffered from an influx of used imported vehicles since joining the EU, which has restricted future growth potential.

Furthermore, there are risks: While BMI’s Automotives analysts believe that output and sales in the commercial vehicle segment will be strong, industry growth is vulnerable to fuel prices and infrastructure investment.
