Industry - Monthly Industry Briefings - Engineering and metal goods
US manufacturers are facing historical price rises in Q1 2022, with growth averaging 10% in January and February, significantly higher than the average for 2010-20 which was only 1.5%. This will undoubtedly cause a strain on profitability going forward unless these rises can be completely absorbed by the consumer. As a result, this is likely to have a negative impact on near-term non-essential capex purchases and possible weaken the already moderating machinery and equipment sector.
