WASTEC Market Statistics Programs
WASTEC offers its members the ability to participate in the following industry statistics programs:
WASTEC Market Activity Index/Market Trends Index
This report trends on twenty-one questions broken up into six broad areas - Domestic Sales; Export Sales; Orders Activity; Inventory Activity; Price Activity and Productivity. The data is further segmented by manufacturers and by consultants/distributors/service providers (non-manufacturers).
The report is modeled after the nationally recognized Purchasing Managers’ Index (Institute for Supply Management) which uses 50 to indicate no change response, 0 to indicate all negative response and 100 to indicate all favorable response. These trends are significant because an index number greater than 50 indicates an expanding economy, a number less than 50 indicates a contracting economy and the difference between the index and 50 indicating the magnitude of the trend.
