HVACR Manufacturers Predict Strong Economic Prospects, Solid Sales Increases For 2014

摘要

Optimism for improving economic business prospects in the HVACR industry continue to grow, according to a recent ASHRAE/AHR Expo survey sent to more than 1,000 HVACR manufacturers worldwide. According to survey results, 79 percent of the respondents said their prospects for business were either "excellent" (19 percent) or "good" (60 percent) for the coming year. The remaining 21 percent of the respondents felt prospects were "fair." These results reflect a significant improvement over last year's survey that found 70 percent of respondents expected the economy to be better in 2013 than 2012, while three percent predicted it would be worse. No one responding to this year's survey felt economic prospects would worsen in 2014.
