Economic survey
Into the new year with optimism
Our eleven for 23: In the exclusive survey by materialfluss, eleven experts assess where the journey is heading this year.
Optimism is also spreading at the end of 2022, at least as long as it concerns the company itself. Company managers expect a significant or slight increase in turnover. When it comes to economic expectations for the intralogistics sector, the tone is similarly optimistic: six company managers expect the sector to grow, while three expect turnover to remain the same.
However, the respondents were cautious to pessimistic about the economy in 2023: Only one manager believes in a positive development, four expect the situation to remain the same and six fear that the economy will deteriorate.
Finally, it is exciting to see what encourages the interviewees for the coming year 2023 - the statements radiate confidence and are absolutely worth reading.
You can find all the statements here in the picture gallery.
