Build a decision from traceable evidence. This guide deliberately does not publish a static market-size, growth or PMI dashboard: those figures change, use different definitions and can become misleading without their source period and methodology.

Use the same five-part pack for every country and equipment category. Keep the source link, publication date, data period, unit, currency and extraction date beside every number.
Use production, construction, mining and agriculture output from the relevant national statistics office. Compare several periods; one monthly reading is not a trend.
Use product-level import and export data. Record the HS code, reporting country, partner country, period, value and quantity before comparing markets.
Count comparable live and completed listings by equipment type, age, specification, condition and location. Do not treat asking prices as completed-sale prices.
Normalise for currency date, taxes, buyer premium, freight, installation, condition and included tooling. Preserve the seller currency and the source date.
Check product compliance, sanctions, export controls, title or liens, logistics, inspection access and payment protections before treating a market as reachable.
| Field | Record | Do not mix |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Type, brand, model, year, hours, capacity and condition | Different specifications or rebuild levels |
| Price | Original currency, price basis, date and included items | Asking, auction hammer and delivered prices |
| Geography | Machine location, origin and destination | Domestic and landed costs |
| Time | Observation and publication periods | Nominal values from different years without adjustment |
| Evidence | Official series or attributable transaction source | Forecasts, estimates and observed results |
Start with official statistics and customs data. Industry associations and marketplace observations can add context, but should not replace the underlying series.
