Preliminary responses to the Industry Navigator 2026 research suggest a complex relationship between underlying market needs and the orders received by manufacturers and suppliers. Factors such as data centre development, project timing, policy changes, tariffs and constrained production capacity can cause companies to accelerate, postpone or reconsider purchasing decisions much more quickly than underlying demand changes.
This research project will explore the true drivers of volatility, the pressures that are structural versus temporary, as well as whether companies are correctly interpreting today’s market signals.
