Setting Targets for the Remainder of 2025
Oxford Economics recently updated their forecast for machinery orders in 2025. In the first half of 2025, the number of units ordered increased by 5.6% and the value of orders increased by 13.7% compared to the first half of 2024. Using Oxford Economics' updated forecast, we can anticipate a mild downturn in the second half of the year, estimating that just under 9,000 units of machinery, valued at $2.3 billion, will be ordered.
