November 2022 How’s Business, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines industry conditions using November 2022 survey responses from OEM members alongside macroeconomic indicators such as PMI, CPI, and recent GDP trends to provide quarter-over-quarter benchmarking. Focus areas include market demand and order activity (quotations and new orders), supply-chain resilience and lead-time management (component sourcing and delivery), and financial and operational health (cash flow, proposal activity and workforce retention). The analysis indicates persistent supply constraints and evolving demand patterns, and charts highlight comparative trends across these areas; emerging patterns show where companies tend to concentrate short-term mitigation versus longer-term investment. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
