Orders, production, and sales gone up in 2011 despite Euro debt crisis

Mar 3, 2012


The Euro debt crisis has left the microtechnology, nanotechnology and advanced materials industries largely unfazed so far. Although business has not grown as much as the companies had expected in the beginning of 2011, still more than half of them have been able to increase orders, production and sales during the past year.

However, financing is still a problem for many companies: only 16% of companies have received more funds in 2011 than in the previous year. Consequently, less than a third of companies (32%) had more money available for investments in 2011 than in the previous year.
