IT’s been a tough year for manufacturers, with supply-chain snags, inflation and fears of a recession. Yet a shocking 95% of manufacturing executives said they were optimistic about the future, according to a recent poll by Forbes, Xometry and Zogby.The nationwide survey of 150 manufacturing executives in late December found that three-fifths (60%) of executives said “the future looks bright,” while another one-third (35%) said they “see the light at the end of the tunnel.”That optimism is surprising given an economic backdrop of persistent inflation that has cut into Americans’ wallets and created political peril for the Biden Administration, ongoing supply-chain difficulties that have put a drag on manufacturing, nagging fears of a recession and almost daily reminders that the Covid-19 pandemic has yet to run its course.Despite this, manufacturing execs are optimistic about the future, with a majority planning to increase hiring and spend on technology.
