A good year for the production and distribution of towing systems

One of the leaders of the Polish market assumes even a 20% increase in sales of towbars in 2016. Optimistic forecasts are the result of observations and market analyzes which indicate a significant revival in industry and tourism.

- Such optimism is certainly influenced by the good condition of the Polish economy - says Robert Lichocki, sales director of Brink Polska. - The favorable economic situation encourages entrepreneurs to invest, and individual clients to change the way they spend their free time. As a result, we observe an increase in the sale of trailers, especially light and special ones, on the domestic market. In turn, individual customers are increasingly interested in caravanning as a way of recreation, which has a positive effect on the sale of caravans - adds Lichocki.

The optimistic comments result from signals coming from the market. According to the data of the Ministry of Development (for the period January - September 2015), the largest increase in sold production took place in the sectors of industry including the production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (by 10.1% compared to the previous year), electrical equipment (by 9, 4%) and other transport equipment (by 8.6%). Trailer sales have also increased recently. According to the data of the Central Register of Vehicles and Drivers, in 2015 there was an over 15% increase in registered light and special trailers compared to 2014.

Caravans are also becoming more and more popular among Poles. Experts estimate that there are about 100,000 on Polish roads. caravans. The growing popularity of caraving tourism in Poland is also evidenced by the increase in the number of campsites. According to the Polish Federation of Camping and Caraving, there are as many as 211 of them in our country. This is definitely more than just a few years ago. The increased interest in caravanning is influenced not only by the better financial situation of Poles, but also their search for new travel destinations (resulting from the limited possibilities of traveling to the Mediterranean countries: Tunisia, Egypt, Greece and Turkey).
