• “Strong! Production is increasing and we

are adding capacity.” (Plastics & Rubber Products)

• “Business looks stronger moving into the first quarter of 2017.” (Primary Metals)

• “Sales bookings are exceeding expectations. We are starting to see supply shortages in

hot rolled steel due to the curtailment of imports.” (Machinery)

Short Summary and Open Questions

Bild: Fotolia, Nesterov Vasily;

- 47 - © CAEF, www.caef.eu

• USA How quickly protectionism is working? Results of NAFTA renegotiations? Investmentboom with temporary positive impact for European plant manufacturer? Direct tax penalties or modification of the tax system (border adjustment tax)?

• China Real growth vs. official data Reduction of capacity or delaying tactic and start of new capacities? Intensive penetration of the European markets if the USA close the doors?

• EU/ Brexit und Co.

Impact of Brexit = dumpening effect for investments or impulses driven by relocation processes?

Open Questions and Uncertainties 2017

- 48 - © CAEF, www.caef.eu

• Passenger cars:

Dynamic peak passed in USA, saturation point reached in Europe? Weakness in Russia and South America, China with extended support program!

• General Engineering: 2017 chance for a stable „black zero“ plus something after years of stagnation Positive: automation, robotics and rubber- and plastic machines, building machines wind turbines (volume ok, prices under pressure) Bottom out: mining, agrícultural, paper machines, foundry machines low capacity utilisation in the EU

• Further Impulses possible from the Building Industry (on the longterm!)

Risks • Neverending story: Overcapacities – hard price competition – structural change • „Trump“-Impact and raising key interest rates in the USA will lead to

further capital outflow from emerging markets Brexit declaration is dumpening investments
