In addition to our ongoing market research in the global machinery market, ARC Advisory Group also provides our Advisory Service clients with a periodic Machinery Index report to provide an update on the current health of this important market. In recent months, we have been working to expand the Machinery Index into different machinery segments and align this research with our global market analysis reports. This report reflects that work.
Currently, we’re seeing slowing revenue growth for machinery types used in many discrete manufacturing industries, such as semiconductors, robots, and electronics. Coming after a series of consecutive quarters of extraordinary growth, these revenues still indicate a healthy market, but we appear to be entering a phase in which these segments cannot accelerate much further.
On the other hand, revenues for more process industry-oriented machinery are not growing as much as they could, especially considering that they follow multiple quarters with negative growth. This is largely due to the current political uncertainty, as overall process industry investments tend to have long lifecycles of 20, 30, or even 40 years. Past over-investments in China and elsewhere are also depressing the current process machinery market to a certain degree.
Rapid changes in the current market are likely to have a strong impact on the long-run trends.
