Europe on the decline

According to a survey carried out by Applied Market Information (AMI), the number of European injection moulding firms has been shrinking in recent years: -14% in France (where 279 companies shut down) and -21% in the UK. Additionally, some 200 Spanish and Portuguese firms have also closed.
The survey was conducted among some 3,200 injection moulding operations included in AMI's database for the four countries.
