Key Changes and Developments - In April, Dingli acquired nearly all shares of CMAC, a U.S. company, which has positively impacted Dingli's financials by consolidating CMAC's revenue into Dingli's financial statements [1]. - In November, the U.S. anti-dumping tax rate was reduced from 31.5% to 12.4%, a decrease of 19 percentage points, which is expected to enhance Dingli's profitability [1][19]. - The European Union's anti-dumping tax rate for Dingli is set at 24%, which is lower than that of its competitors, providing a competitive edge [2][16]. 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].

Long-term Growth Potential - Dingli's market share in North America is currently below 3%, indicating significant growth potential as the company continues to enhance product recognition and quality [4][19]. - The company is expected to benefit from ongoing R&D investments and product localization, particularly in electric products for the European market [5][19].
