The year 2009 has been difficult for the cleaning machines' market in the world that has scored -30% compared to the year 2008. Idrobase Group has closed at -10% and this means they have increased its market share in Russia, South-East Asia, Australia, Korea and Japan.
Among better performances, they stress those of CdR spares for professional high pressure washers, Idrotech fogging systems, Perfect Cool cooling systems for the civil field. Sales of Idrobase high pressure washers still hold positively compared to the average in the market (-15% against -30% of our field). We were used to reach two-digits-growths but considering the bad business trend we are satisfied with the results obtained in 2009.
The world market will be “tired” also the next year but, given what we have developed concerning new products and organization, we expect our growth for the year 2010 of +15%
