Analysis of recent trends in the manufacturing sector

TransLution™ Software LLC, is a company focused on the development of software to collect, manage, and automate data across manufacturing, warehousing and other organizations. In the wake of the Covid pandemic, the supply chain of manufacturing companies has been disrupted. Our primary clients are mid-size manufacturing companies in the "human consumables" industry (food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals). Our organization wants to better understand how changes in technology and the supply chain have impacted these mid-size manufacturing companies so that we can inform our business decisions and ensure we remain responsive to changing market trends. Through a deep dive of our industry/market, we hope to identify key market trends to assist in our go-forward plans. We want to look at growth trends, stagnation patterns or decline analytics, for example. It is important for us to know where the most promising innovation exists or which areas are slowing down. We believe that there is enough industry data available to complete a study of our sector. It would be extremely helpful for a student group to look at our industry, identify key trends of growth, stagnation and decline. We are open to all information that seems appropriate and valuable. Using these findings, we would like a detailed and researched report on the market trends that will mean the most to the future of our business.
