Prospects for manufacturing in 2018.
Significance
The global outlook for manufacturing is for steady improvement in output, investment, exports and employment in 2018. Competition will remain intense and political risks will intensify. However, demand for manufactured products will increase in most major economies. Companies and value chains investing in new technologies -- and the development of new and improved products and customer services -- will outperform industry averages.
