Summary
This Manufacturing Insights quarterly update analyzes the business environment and trends for the discrete manufacturing sector in Europe (EU 27 + EFTA countries are considered in the analysis).
In particular, we analyze the engineering-oriented value chain (EOVC), which is characterized by industries that are driven by complex, heavily engineered products, such as in automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, farm/construction equipment, and consumer durables.
- Manufacturing Insights provides analysis of trends in the discrete manufacturing sector, based on our Global Performance Index (GPI). This index tracks growth metrics from 800+ publicly traded global firms in the manufacturing industries.
- Manufacturing Insights also provides analysis of the developments of the European automotive industry, by commenting the quarterly new car registration data issued by ACEA, the European Automotive Manufacturers' Association.
- The most significant industry news to have impacted the European discrete manufacturing industry is reported.
- Finally, European ICT investment directions in the discrete manufacturing sector are analyzed by outlining the major ICT contracts that were signed during the first quarter of 2009.
