SUGAR LAND--July 15, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--All things considered, the Industrial Manufacturing Industry made it through 2020 in relatively good shape. According to David Pickering, Industrial Info's vice president of research for the industry, across the world, spending in the industry declined by about $20 billion, which is relatively modest on a global scale. He views 2021 as "recovery year" as sectors make adjustments to a changed world, with spending more or less at pre-pandemic levels next year. In a recent webinar, Pickering discussed where he sees the industry heading for the remainder of this year and into 2022.
