Vehicles Puts Spring Back In Industry Sales

Poor economic performance in the early 2000s saw total motor vehicle registrations fall, which is an indicator of product demand form the automobile manufacturing industry, a key downstream industry. At the present time, however, these downstream industries are expected to recover by 2009. This will support sales in the heavy gauge spring product segment, and other associated products or components used in the manufacturing of road-transport vehicles.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) manufacturing steel springs by forming, such as cutting, bending, and heat winding metal rod or strip stock and/or (2) manufacturing wire springs and fabricated wire products from wire drawn elsewhere (except watch and clock springs). This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
