Power Transmission/Motion Control Manufacturers’ Sales Stabilize in U.S. but Suffer in Canada According to May 2010 Market Outlook Report

Sales of power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) products by U.S. manufacturers sales rose 2.0 percent while sales by Canadian manufacturers dropped 13.1 percent according to May 2010 sales data released by the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) in its Market Outlook Report. 

For U.S. manufacturers, comparing May 2010 to May 2009, sales are up 13.2 percent compared to sales at this time last year. Canadian manufacturers’ current-month-to-current-month sales are also up but at a slower rate at 5.5 percent.

Confidence in the market by both U.S. and Canada manufacturers are holding relatively neutral positions—5.0 and 4.9 respectively on a scale of 1 (very pessimistic) to 10 (outstanding).
