Current Market Challenges
The heavy machinery and industrial equipment market is highly fragmented with numerous physical traders, producers and consumers that are not well connected to each other. This results in :
- A lack of adequate market access and information
- Difficulty in differentiating between genuine and fake players
- Difficulty in determining the right price due to insufficient market bids
- Expensive working capital locked in the form of idle machine inventory for sellers
- Unwanted project delays or revenue losses due to the delay in procuring the right equipment at the right price
