The global recession of 2009-2010 is in the rear view mirror, but key industries and regions are sputtering while others are on fire. This discussion and presentation brings together both regional and industry experts to provide insights on the "lay of the land" projected for 2013 in the global manufacturing and process industries. Frost & Sullivan's panelists will discuss:

• The global economic outlook for 2013, with a focus on manufacturing, process control, automation, pumps, valves, compressors, and motors and drives
• The most critical issues for manufacturers today
• Perspectives on manufacturing moving back to the U.S.
• The general economic mood in Europe, Asia-Pacific, China and India, and what these dispositions mean to the manufacturing and process industries, with highlights of the top five trends and opportunities for all regions
• How the top five trends are driving opportunities for value chain participants

This briefing will benefit industrial suppliers throughout the value chain by providing trends, forecasts and projected hot spots for the global manufacturing and process industries.

"In making investment and sales decisions, it is imperative that executives understand the context within which they will be operating," said Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation and Process Control Global Vice President Sath Rao. "Game changing trends exist in many areas -- the U.S. shale boom is one example. Manufacturing competitiveness in the U.S. is likely to improve as a result of the shale gas revolution. The growth in this industry is expected to place downward pressure on natural gas prices, which will benefit the manufacturing and process industries even further, and have repercussions for industries globally."
