Survey Results Show the Deepening Effects of COVID-19 on the Manufacturing Industry
BNP Media’s Clear Seas Research division has released the third wave of survey results on how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting the manufacturing industry. This survey was conducted April 16-20 among the readers of BNP’s 12 magazines that focus on manufacturing – PCI being one of them. The survey asks about manufacturing industry areas of concern, business outlook, changes in marketing budgets, whether or not a company has applied for the small business stimulus loan, if the company is classified as an “essential” business, actions being taken to keep employees healthy, anticipated workforce changes within the next three months, how companies are communicating with customers, changes in marketing/advertising, estimated time for business to get back on track, and more.
Below are a few takeaways from the survey as compared to the first two waves of results. You can download the full survey results free of charge here.
