Market Dynamics and Competitive Landscape - The aerial work platform industry is characterized by a fragmented market with a significant reliance on rental companies, which account for nearly 90% of the customer base [6][12]. - The U.S. market is dominated by two major players, JLG and Genie, which together hold about 45% market share, while Dingli's share is around 10% [12]. - In Europe, local manufacturers hold a market share of 30-40%, with Dingli's share being approximately 10% [2][12].
