Manufacturing growth trajectory is slow but steady
The European manufacturing sector continues to face a series of challenges, such as high energy prices, self-imposed environmental regulations and rising labour costs, all of which must be a concern to machine builders wondering where the next project is going to come from. But despite these challenges, Interact Analysis is predicting steady, if slow, growth in manufacturing from 2025 through to 2029.
With best regards
