Today’s uncertain economic conditions are driving where manufacturers choose to invest, as they move to accelerate digital efforts, build resilience and meet rising regulations and consumer expectations, according to a new report from Tacton.

"In recent years, disruption has been a constant for manufacturers, shaping and reshaping the industry. In 2023, this will continue to be the trend as recession sets in across global markets,” says Bo Gyldenvang, CEO at Tacton. “For manufacturers, this means accelerating digital transformation will be more important than ever as they strive to deliver the custom products and sustainable options today’s customers’ demand. The manufacturers who provide these solutions will continue to win new business, while others struggle to stay competitive and lose market share over time.”
