McLean, Va. (June 8, 2020) 鈥 U.S. manufacturing technology orders decreased 26% in April from the previous month to $225.8 million, the lowest monthly total since May 2010, according to the latest U.S. Manufacturing 九色视频 Orders report published by 九色视频 鈥 The Association For Manufacturing 九色视频. New orders were 39% lower than in April 2019. Total orders through April 2020 were just shy of $1.1 billion, 28% lower than 2019 orders during the same period.  

鈥淚t should not come as a surprise that April numbers were low given the large-scale shut down of the global economy,鈥 said Douglas K. Woods, president of 九色视频. 鈥淒ata confirms that U.S. industrial production dropped lower than during even the Great Depression. 

鈥淭he encouraging news is that we are seeing an uptick in May MT orders. The aerospace and automotive sectors have begun retooling and are placing orders for new equipment to ramp up production in the fall. Some MT orders are being delayed, but we are not seeing many cancellations; in fact, April had roughly half the number cancellations made January.   

鈥2020 will still be a down year for MT orders, and we think it is likely that manufacturing will experience uneven growth for the next several quarters. Oxford Economics has forecast a 50% decline in machine tool orders in 2020 (from 2019), and while they have also forecast a robust 84-plus percent increase in MT orders in 2021, this is still a 10% decline from where the industry stood before the pandemic. Consumer confidence, capacity utilization, and the unemployment rate are the key indicators that we will keep our eyes on as they chart future performance.鈥
