The recent Euro Auctions sale in Dubai on 22 March 2021 attracted a global audience of buyers and sellers. The live sale and a timed auction following the main event saw over 700 machines going under the hammer.
The auction received equipment from 65 consignors, with 14 sellers consigning to the sale for the first time. In all there were eleven seller countries in the sale from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Great Britain, Italy, Hong Kong, India, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and China But it was the home market that was the most active in not only supplying a large percentage of the equipment for sale, but in bidding and successfully buying. The fact equipment was sent for sale from Middle Eastern sellers and bought by Middle East buyers shows there is an appetite for the myriad of infrastructure projects across the region.
The buying statistics for the Dubai sale show are:
- Buyers from 74 countries registered for the sale.
- Top countries by hammer total, in order, were – UAE, Colombia, United Kingdom, Oman, Lebanon, Ivory Coast, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Taiwan.
- Buyers by world region – Middle East 73%, Europe 11%, Africa 6%, South America 6%, UK 4%, Asia 1.5%, North America 0.25%
Derek Bleakley, general manager of Euro Auctions, Dubai, said: “The buying pattern for this sale was very interesting. Whilst the Middle East home market purchased 66% of all lots on offer, the remaining 34% was bought by bidders from all countries across Europe, from bidders across the whole of north Africa, from Kazakhstan, China and India, with the UK buying well, as were bidders from the USA, Canada and Australia.
