Dank voor je uitgebreide antwoord, Marique.
Dit zei topman van concurrent PPG over 2016
"“As we enter 2016, we anticipate global economic growth will continue, but at a varied pace and mixed by major economy. In the Asia Pacific region, growth will likely remain uneven through the year but solid on a full-year basis. The primary driver for this growth is increased consumer spending, which is beneficial to PPG as this affects the majority of our products sold in the region,” McGarry said.
“Economic expansion in North America is likely to continue at a modest pace, comparable to this past year, supported by multiple sectors,” McGarry said. “Also, we expect the European economies to build on the broadening growth rates achieved in 2015, which will be favorable to PPG given about 30 percent of our sales are in that region and we have substantially reduced our cost structure there."
Het lijkt erop dat hij (economische) groei verwacht in Asia Pacific, N-Amerika en Europa, de 3 grootste markten van Akzo( samen goed voor 80% van de omzet).
Blijft lastig voorspellen natuurlijk....
Groet,
