Poland is chasing Europe in terms of motorhome sales. Another year it is observed an increase even in the segment of new motorhomes. The report of the Polish Automotive Industry Association and the Polish Caravanning Group indicates that the increase in motorhome registration in 2021 is twofold, compared to 2020.
According to Jacek Fior from the Camptoo Polska platform, since the outbreak of the pandemic, the number of motorhomes in Poland has been growing dynamically year to year. It is estimated that currently there are almost 25,000 motorhomes in Poland. They are purchased not only by rentals but also by individual owners.
The Polish Automotive Industry Association and the Polish Caravanning Group developed a report on the registration of new and used campers and caravans in 2021 based on the data from the Central Vehicle Register.
In the last quarter of 2021, the very dynamic development of the caravanning market in Poland continued. In the group of new motorhomes, growth was + 31.8% y / y, after three-digit increases in the first (+ 157.8% y / y) and second quarter (+ 136.5% y / y) and double-digit increases in the third quarter(+ 59.4%).
This allowed the motorhomes category to end the 2021 year with a total of 2,242 new registrations. It was a level almost twice as high as in 2020 (+ 92.3%, + 1,076 units). In quarter-to-quarter assessment, I-IV quarters brought in 2021 415, 932, 518 and 377 units, respectively.
In the category of new caravans, 1,044 units were registered throughout 2021. It was an increase of 84.8% (+479 units).
The market of imported used motorhomes also continued to grow, but a modest weakening of the upward trend is visible. In total, in 2021, 2 013 used motorhomes were registered for the first time in Poland (an increase of 354 units and 21.3% compared to 2020).
A similar trend is visible on the market of used caravans. Last year 2021 brought an increase of only 5.5%, to the level of 7,743 units (more by 404 units).
As expected, the year ended with an almost 100% increase in the registration of new motorhomes and slightly weaker growth in terms of caravans. “Such increases have so far been considered as a dream”, said Sebastian Klauz, vice president of the Polish Caravanning Group, publisher of the Polish Caravaning magazine.
“I hope that such a good situation in the caravanning industry will not be spoiled by galloping prices and problems with the availability of vehicles in factories. This growth trend will be supported by the developing caravanning infrastructure and the emerging professional services. One thing is for sure. Poles like caravanning”, adds Sebastian Klauz.
