Key trends for global industry in 2022
Topic: The early phase of the post-pandemic industrial expansion was exceptionally strong, but momentum waned in the second half of this year as component and raw materials shortages stymied production and raised costs. Rising backlogs and still-firm demand augur an acceleration in activity even as the broader sources of economic growth shift toward services – but supply chain constraints will linger well into next year, backloading the industrial growth profile.
