Industry Outlook
A reasonable picture into the future is essential as business plans are constructed for 2006-2007. Where are we going in terms of general line sales, systems sales, technology sales .... i.e. what is the outlook for each of these segments of our industry. A clearer picture tells us if we are falling behind, simply "rising with the tide," or actually capturing market share. Many resources are available to assist us in doing so. The Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association and DataKey have released their most recent 2006 Industry Outlook. Read what key distributors, manufacturers, and others project by segment, and additional articles on the 2006 industry outlook. Click here for more information.
