Demand for German-made caravans and motor caravans reaches a record high
Press Release
Demand for German-made caravans and motor caravans abroad stronger than ever
The demand for German-made caravans and motor caravans remains high in other countries as well. Exports of these vehicles in 2021 set a new record, with 54,799 being shipped to customers outside of Germany – an 18.7 percent increase relative to the prior year.
A total of 32,407 German-made motor caravans were exported in 2021 – up 14.2 percent over the prior year. Caravan export-sales results were even stronger, rising by 26 percent, with 22,392 vehicles sold. This shows how pivotal the European market is for German caravan and motor caravan makers. “Caravanning holidays are popular not only in Germany, but also throughout Europe – a fact reflected in the steadily growing demand for German-made caravans and motor caravans. The fact that Germany exported more than 55,000 caravans and motor caravans last year has made our nation the market leader in the European caravanning sector once again,” said Daniel Onggowinarso, Managing Director of Caravaning Industrie Verband (CIVD).
“If the raw-material shortages situation and the supply chain bottlenecks improve this year, we feel we’ll be looking at a highly successful 2022,” Mr. Onggowinarso added. “Given that German caravan and motor caravan makers’ order books are full, these companies will be doing everything within their power to meet the high demand among both dealers and consumers.”
