Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for winches and capstans in Croatia fluctuated significantly between 2018 and 2024. It started at 8 534 units in 2018, rose to a peak of 13 007 units in 2020, then declined over the following three years before recovering to 11 075 units in 2024.

The market volume in 2018 was supported by a global 39% increase in winch and capstan production, which enhanced import availability. After the 2020 peak, the market gradually contracted until 2023. The rebound in 2024 was driven by strong growth in Croatia's construction industry, rising solar energy capacity, and government investments in infrastructure and renewable energy projects, all of which increased demand for winches and capstans.
