Dubai Chamber launches price index for industrial and commercial machinery
Index shows slight increase in prices between Q4 2010 to Q1 2011
The index, which compares prices of different types of machinery in the fourth-quarter of 2010 with those in the first-quarter of 2011, found that overall prices had risen very slightly.
"Prices of most items remained stationary between the two quarters. However, there were a few items that registered price increases. These outnumbered the number of items which saw a decline, leading to an overall quarter-on-quarter increase," said H.E. Hamad Buamim, Director General, Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry .
The category with the maximum price increase of 3.8% was Industrial Sewing Machines. This was due to price rises of computerized normal stitching machines (20%), hemming machines (15%), embroidery machines (12.7%) and button hole machines (5%).
Meanwhile, an increase of 0.1% was posted for Laundry Machines due to a 6.2% increase in the price of washer extractors and a 0.02% increase in dryer machines. A decrease of 7.4% and 2.4% was recorded for dry clean machines and pressing machines respectively.
The index is based on 150 price quotations of 17 types of machinery from more than 20 traders in Dubai.
A full list of categories and a breakdown of price changes is included in the table below.
