The key to any company's long term business success lies in knowing and
understanding its markets. Awareness of market growth/decline is the foundation
for future business plans. Timely market information is crucial in developing
capital investment and staffing priorities. In the past, it was not uncommon
for companies to blindly invest in products or markets in decline, or conversely,
fail to invest in growing markets because there was no access to market information.
Many of these companies are no longer in existence today.
AMCA International’s Statistical Program provides participants with
accurate and timely market information with which to gauge current business
performance and long term opportunity. This market information is available
to all participants for those categories in which they report.
AMCA International’s Statistical Program is designed to provide valuable
market data in a useful form and in a timely manner. Information is published
monthly for the U.S. and Canada for bookings and shipments in the following
major product categories:

| Code 2) |
Centrifugal Fans |

These product categories are further divided into sub categories. Data is presented
both graphically and numerically, providing monthly figures for the current
year and the previous year.
The Statistical Report includes provisions to submit international bookings
and shipments as a single entry. International data should include bookings
and shipments other than those reported in the U.S. or Canadian programs.

benefits:
- Information to form broad, long term business outlooks for products in the major market segments.
