Global Forecast Updates from Oxford Economics – Available Now

A new series of quarterly forecast updates from Oxford Economics is now available on the NFPA website at Global Industry Forecasts.  These reports cover the global economy, as well as regional and country developments, and some detailed global industry forecasts. 

Oxford no longer expects a recession in 2024, but projects a flat first half, followed by very modest growth in the second half of 2024 as a market outlook for hydraulics and pneumatics in the US. Learn more specifics for key markets and global economies in Oxford’s latest series of reports. 

NFPA’s Customer Market File and Trends in Capacity Utilization reports have been combined to create Econ and Market Indicators (EMI). This report contains public data in the forms of shipments, orders, industrial production, capacity utilization, and producer price indexes for a variety of popular fluid power customer markets. The EMI can be downloaded as an excel file which gives members access to the raw data or viewed as interactive charts and tables with built in analysis.
