On 20 March 2026, CETOP — the Voice of the European Fluid Power Industry — will hold its quarterly Market Outlook web conference, bringing together delegates from member and adhering associations across Europe. AIFTOP, the Spanish association for hydraulics, pneumatics and compressors, will participate in the meeting as an adhering member.
The session will open with a review of compliance obligations under EU competition law, ensuring that all discussions take place within the appropriate regulatory framework.
The central focus of the meeting will be a presentation by Florian Scholl, Economist at VDMA Economics and Statistics, who will share his analysis of the global outlook for the machinery industry through 2026. This will be followed by an open exchange in which delegates from different countries will provide brief updates on the current economic situation in their respective markets, offering a broad and diverse picture of industry conditions across Europe.
The meeting will also serve as an opportunity to coordinate upcoming activities, including the scheduling of the next CETOP Market Outlook web conference, reinforcing the association's commitment to regular dialogue and transparency within the European fluid power sector.
