According to a recent ASHRAE and AHR Expo survey sent to more than 1,000 HVACR manufacturers worldwide, there is growing optimism for improving economic prospects in 2015. Based on survey results, 87% of the respondents said their prospects for business were either “excellent” (26%) or “good” (61%) for the coming year. Thirteen percent of the respondents felt prospects were “fair”.
According to show organizers, these results reflect a significant 8% jump over last year’s survey that found 79% of respondents expected the economy would be better in 2014 than 2013. It also represents a sizable 17% increase in optimism over the previous year’s survey when 70% of the respondents thought 2013 would be better than 2012.
