Abstract
“Total Americas production of machinery in 2005 was estimated to be
worth $148.8 billion, and is forecast to grow to $183.5 billion by 2010.”
This is one of the many findings from a new report published by IMS Research,
Machinery Production Yearbook - Americas - 2007. This report presents the
production values for twelve different types of industrial machinery in the
Americas and examines the automation content found inside these types of
machines. The report is being published at a time when industrial machinery is
in high demand, primarily from emerging markets in China, India and South
America. This is the first edition of this study, and is designed to
complement IMS Research' s previous studies on machinery production in Europe
and Asia. The purpose of this report is to provide machine builders and
automation content providers with detailed statistics illustrating market
performance from 2002 to 2005, and includes forecasts until 2010. The report
is highly numerical with over 50 tables that segment the industry by machine
type and country of production.
