Exporting agricultural axles to Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain

Agricultural axles are and will likely continue to be a growing market in the EU5. Germany, France and the UK are the biggest import markets with a relatively low share of imports from the DCs, creating an opportunity for the export of good quality and competitively priced products. There are opportunities both in the OEM market due to these countries’ product output, and in the aftermarket, where parts such as brake drums, suspension parts, drive shafts, yokes and axle rims are in demand. The best way of accessing the market for developing country producers would be through OEM/OES subcontracting or selling through pan-European or national wholesaler networks.
