Confidence hit in Q3 despite growth in output and orders - speedy recovery expected in Q4
Positive growth in the third quarter of the year ensured that output exactly matched the forecast provided in Q2; similarly the orders forecast was equally accurate, although here orders growth was lower in Q3 than in Q2. According to the latest Printing Outlook survey, more printers in Q3 were able to increase output (49% compared to 41% in Q2). This was greater than forecast - however, with 31% holding output steady and 20% reporting a decline, the Q3 improvement (the balance between ups and downs) was, at 29, exactly equal to the forecast for the period. Indeed, it has turned out to be the most positive output recording so far in 2015.
