USA : ECONOMIC GROWTH TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT 2015

Manufacturing Growth Continues in 2015; Revenue to Increase 3.5%; Capital Expenditure to Increase 3.1%; Capacity Utilization Currently at 79.5%; Non-Manufacturing Growth Also Continues in 2015; Revenue to Increase 2.9%; Capital Expenditure to Increase 1.5%; Capacity Utilization Currently at 86%

TEMPE, Ariz., May 6, 2015 -- Economic growth is expected to continue in the United States throughout the remainder of 2015, say the nation's purchasing and supply executives in their Spring 2015 Semiannual Economic Forecast. Expectations for the remainder of 2015 continue to be positive in both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors.

These projections are part of the forecast issued by the Business Survey Committee of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®). The forecast was presented today by Bradley J. Holcomb, CPSM, CPSD, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee; and by Anthony S. Nieves, CPSM, C.P.M., CFPM, chair of the ISM Non-Manufacturing Business Survey Committee.

Manufacturing Summary

Fifty-five percent of respondents from the panel of manufacturing supply management executives predict their revenues will be 9 percent greater in 2015 compared to 2014, 16 percent expect an 8.9 percent decline, and 29 percent foresee no change in revenue. This yields an overall average expectation of 3.5 percent revenue growth among manufacturers in 2015, which is a meaningful decrease of 2.1 percentage points from December 2014 when the panel predicted a 5.6 percent increase in 2015 revenues. With operating capacity at 79.5 percent, an expected capital expenditure increase of 3.1 percent, prices paid for raw materials expected to decrease a 0.9 percentage point for all of 2015 compared to 2014, and employment expected to grow 0.7 percent for the balance of 2015, manufacturing is positioned to grow revenues while containing costs through the remainder of the year. "With 14 of the 18 industries within the manufacturing sector predicting revenue growth in 2015 when compared to 2014, U.S. manufacturing continues to move in a positive direction," said Holcomb.

The 14 industries reporting expectations of growth in revenue for 2015 — listed in order — are: Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Paper Products; Primary Metals; Furniture & Related Products; Machinery; Textile Mills; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Chemical Products; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Computer & Electronic Products; and Transportation Equipment.

Non-Manufacturing Summary

Fifty-four percent of non-manufacturing purchasing and supply executives expect their 2015 revenues to be greater by 8.9 percent than in 2014. Overall, respondents currently expect a 2.9 percent net increase in overall revenues, which is less than the 10 percent increase that was forecast in December 2014. "Non-manufacturing will continue to grow for the balance of 2015. Non-manufacturing companies continue to operate very efficiently as reflected by the high percentage of capacity utilization. Supply managers have indicated that overall costs have been minimally impacted with pricing projected to increase 0.6 percent over the year. Overall employment is projected to grow a modest 2 percent. Thirteen out of 18 industries are forecasting increased revenues which is less than the 17 industries that forecasted increased revenues last year. Despite a cooling off in the rate of growth, the non-manufacturing sector will continue on the path of economic growth throughout the year," Nieves said.

The 13 non-manufacturing industries expecting increases in revenue in 2015 — listed in order — are: Retail Trade; Transportation & Warehousing; Wholesale Trade; Construction; Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting; Professional, Scientific & Technical Services; Information; Finance & Insurance; Accommodation & Food Services; Health Care & Social Assistance; Arts, Entertainment & Recreation; Public Administration; and Educational Services.

OPERATING RATE

Manufacturing

The 12 industries reporting operating capacity levels at or above the average capacity of 79.5 percent — listed in order — are: Wood Products; Paper Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Chemical Products; Printing & Related Support Activities; Fabricated Metal Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Furniture & Related Products; and Primary Metals.

Non-Manufacturing

This is 1.6 percent less than what was reported in December 2014 and less than the 86.3 percent reported in April 2014. The following nine industries operating at capacity levels above the average rate of 86 percent — listed in order — are: Real Estate, Rental & Leasing; Educational Services; Information; Utilities; Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting; Public Administration; Retail Trade; Health Care & Social Assistance; and Finance & Insurance.

This increase is less than the 5.6 percent increase predicted in December 2014 for 2015, and also less than the 5.3 percent increase reported in December for all of 2014. This nevertheless reflects the continuing strength in the sector as 42 percent of respondents expect an average capacity increase of 10.7 percent, 9 percent expect decreases averaging 13.5 percent, and 49 percent expect no change. The 13 industries expecting production capacity increases for 2015 — listed in order — are: Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Textile Mills; Transportation Equipment; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Furniture & Related Products; Paper Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Chemical Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Machinery; Plastics & Rubber Products; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; and Primary Metals.

SPECIAL QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2015

The West Coast port slowdowns in the early part of 2015 and the significant drop in oil prices impacted many businesses. We asked the panels to tell us whether or not these two situations have impacted their particular businesses, and if so, to tell us the nature of those impacts.

Manufacturing

With respect to the West Coast port slowdown in the early months of 2015, we asked the manufacturing panel to comment on whether their particular businesses were impacted, and if so, whether the impact was short term (impact cleared within a few months) or long term (having a lasting effect on most of the year). Of the total responses compiled, 38.7 percent said their businesses were not impacted, 47.7 percent indicated a short term impact, 9 percent indicated a long term impact, and 4.5 percent were unsure.

When asked about the net annual impact of the fluctuating price of oil and related commodities, 14.5 percent of respondents indicated a negative net impact to their businesses, 41 percent indicated a positive net impact, 33.5 percent indicated a negligible impact, and 11 percent of respondents were unsure.

Non-Manufacturing

We also asked the non-manufacturing panel to comment on whether their particular businesses were impacted, and if so, whether the impact was short term (impact cleared within a few months) or long term (having a lasting effect on most of the year). Of the total responses compiled, 54 percent said their businesses were not impacted, 34.5 percent indicated a short term impact, 4.6 percent indicated a long term impact, and 6.9 percent were unsure.

When asked about the net annual impact of the fluctuating price of oil and related commodities, 11.9 percent of respondents indicated a negative net impact to their businesses, 33.5 percent indicated a positive net impact, 39.2 percent indicated a negligible impact, and 15.3 percent of respondents were unsure.
