Do you want to understand where the construction equipment market stands in 2025 – and what is likely to shape 2026? The CECE Market Update offers a clear, data-led view of the sector, bringing together CECE leadership and leading economic experts for a concise virtual briefing.
Moderated by Riccardo Viaggi, CECE Secretary General, the session marks the launch of CECE’s Annual Economic Report, supported by a new animated video presentation of the findings.
Phil Layton, President of CECE, will open the event and set the scene for the year ahead. He will be followed by Sebastian Popp, CECE’s Economic Affairs Manager, who will provide a detailed analysis of market figures and outlook across the construction equipment industry.
The programme also includes a dedicated focus on the US construction market, with insights from Scott Hazelton, Consulting Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, alongside a forward-looking perspective on digital developments from Frans Andersen, CEO and co-founder of Indicio Technologies.
Designed to be practical and concise, the session will give participants a clear understanding of current trends, emerging pressures and the strategic challenges shaping the sector. A live Q&A will allow attendees to put questions directly to the speakers.
Viki Bell, CEO of the Construction Equipment Association, said:
“This is exactly the kind of insight our members value – grounded in data, focused on what’s happening now, and honest about what lies ahead. CECE plays a vital role in representing our industry at a European level, and events like this ensure UK businesses remain well-informed, well-connected and well-placed to plan with confidence.”
For CEA members, this underlines both the importance of the CECE Market Update and the growing role the CEA plays within the wider European network.
