Forecasts represent the average of responses from member companies in each product line.
Member companies responded only to questions about the specific products they manufacture or market. Responses represent member companies' forecast for the industry as a whole, rather than for their particular companies. The percentage figures shown above each chart are the industry average forecasts for 2001 vs. 2000 sales in the particular product categories. For reference purposes, the bars in the graphs represent the individual company predictions for industry sales. To provide a comparison of the outlook assessment by the industry, the latest forecast for 2001 is shown at the top of each page.
