This suggests the sector has moved out of a prolonged slump, showing expansion in new orders, production, and backlogs. However, anecdotal evidence from industry participants points to significant challenges, including supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs due to geopolitical events, and persistent input cost inflation, raising questions about the sustainability of this recovery.
