Economic update: injection molding activity is picking up

摘要

The growth rate in our proprietary Injection Molding Business Index leveled off at the end of 2002, but still managed to post a healthy 6% increase over the previous year. Our latest forecast calls for a gradual acceleration in injection molding growth over the next four to six quarters. This will push the annual North American injection molding output to a gain of at least 7% in 2003.
