Compared to 2011 production for 2012 dropped by 9.8%, a variation caused by ongoing domestic market shrinkage (-15%) and a reduction of export (-8%), says Acimall.
All key performance indicators were expected to fall, as a "physiological" reaction after the rebound that exhausted its effect in 2011.
We also have to add, says Acimall, that the market structure has changed, and therefore, we are not facing a temporary trend, but a new situation we must take into account.
"We are confident that 2013 can be a year of consolidation," said Paolo Zanibon, general manager of Acimall, "even if we think we will have to wait until 2014 to talk about ‘recovery’."
