Top of Manufacturers’ Minds: Survey Insights from 2024 and Strategies for What’s Ahead

With only a few months left in 2024, the consumer goods and manufacturing industry is transitioning from a challenging year to a period of cautious optimism. The 2024 Marcum National Manufacturing Survey provides the crucial data and insights business owners need to tackle top challenges and maximize future opportunities.

High interest rates have continued to push revenue and growth rates down, but the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut—the first in four years—is a promising sign. Meanwhile, a presidential election looms with major implications for consumer goods markets, tax issues, and import/export costs. Change is on the horizon, and the 2024 Marcum National Manufacturing Survey will help you stay ahead.
