Recommendation

In 2016, businesses will encounter a global economy that, though not robust, should nonetheless steadily grow by 3.4%, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. But companies will have to deal with rising interest rates, along with declining oil and commodity prices. Add to that China’s economic weakness, and industries are facing considerable headwinds to profitability. How will firms in the automotive, consumer retail, energy, financial services, health care and telecommunications sectors tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities? Find out in this astute analysis and outlook, which getAbstract recommends to industry executives.

Take-Aways

  • Greater cost sensitivity, increasing regulation and continuing technology innovation will influence corporate plans in 2016.
  • The automotive sector will rebound from a muted 2015 in a “steady rather than spectacular” manner. For retailers of consumer goods, sales will grow in 2016 at the same rate as that of 2015, though merchandising will provide a bright prospect.
  • Momentum continues to build behind renewable energy. Rising interest rates will help bank margins.
