The general consensus for a group of fabricators who were recently polled for Stone World’s annual Purchasing Plan Survey is optimistic, with many expecting sales to grow in the coming year
Every January, Stone World reports the statistics found in a purchasing plan survey conducted by the Clear Seas Research Department at BNP Media (Stone World’s parent company), and the results for 2019 are encouraging. The survey polled fabricators from diverse-sized shops based throughout the U.S. This year, fabricators seem even more optimistic than last year, with 82% anticipating an increase in their current sales – a spike of 7% over 2018.
While the majority of participants have high hopes for the coming year, another 12% said the market would remain status quo and 6% are bracing for a drop in sales revenue. The mean average of 26% growth is a 7% increase from last year’s results.
