“3Q indicators point towards a softer landing for global manufacturing in 2020, but a spike in new COVID-19 cases in Europe will provide further headwinds.”
This tracker offers the most complete and unified analysis of the manufacturing industry globally. It quantifies the total value of manufacturing production with deep granularity for over 35 industries and machinery sectors, across 41 countries; presenting 14 years of historical data alongside a credible five-year forecast.
Country data from across the globe has been carefully organised around a common “Manufacturing Industry Outlook (MIO)” taxonomy to provide easy-to-interrogate, like-for-like comparisons. The historical data reveals the relationship between industry and machinery production for a complete business cycle, going back pre-recession to present day. Understanding these complex correlations, alongside current country and industry projections, provides a more accurate forecast by country, industry and machinery sector.
Includes substantial detail on China
The China data provides a comprehensive historical view of the explosive growth of China’s manufacturing industry for the past 14 years as well as a trend-based forecast model for the next 5 years. It analyses 35 industries and 111 applications in China through highly detailed manufacturing surveys. The tracker also includes a quarterly overview of China’s manufacturing industry showing the latest key economic indicators and market trends.
Key Features & Benefits
- COVID-19 – our forecast now provides our current opinion on the expected behavior of manufacturing in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic.
- Market size and forecast data are built-up from individual country-level models using local currencies and unadjusted growth series.
- Data is presented in terms of the annual value of production for the past 14 years, with five-year forecasts including the current year.
- Our approach to presenting data allows our clients to observe like-for-like regional growth rates with the effects of currency exchange removed or included – a factor that profoundly changes the growth values presented.
- The output dataset comprises over 50,000 rows of source data, which was derived from inputs totaling over 1.2 million data points. The size of the data reflects the depth and complexity of the project scope. The provision of such a complete dataset, comprising both industry and machinery production from a single source, ensures consistency and reliability when interpreting forecasts.
- Interactive datasets, in addition to the provision of country and industry dashboards, allow flexibility enabling clients to customize outputs to their precise needs.
- We are also available to provide support in analyzing and interpreting data at no extra cost.
This research is highly quantitative in nature, with limited qualitative analysis or commentary. The primary deliverables are an Interactive Excel file and Power BI file, which are updated quarterly. The data is provided in a manner that allows easy customization through pivot table & chart analysis. In addition, a top line presentation (PDF) is provided each quarter, as well as a detailed overview of the research methodology and data sources used.
There are periodic updates of core data, quarterly updates of China data, and a quarterly report describing key changes.
