…While product manufacturers report spike in sales

摘要

Construction products firms have reported a rise in sales in the second quarter of 2014, compared with the same period in 2013. According to the latest Construction Products Association (CPA) market survey, a balance of 100% of respondents reported a rise in sales, rather than a fall, when comparing the second quarter of 2014 with the second quarter of 2013 - the fifth quarter in which year-on-year sales have increased. The survey, which reports a balance of positive responses against negative, found that 83% of product manufacturers were expecting sales to rise over the coming year and 65% felt they would rise by over 5%.
